Street Food Crawl of Southeast Asia

The best eating in Southeast Asia happens standing up, at a wok cart, a griddle, or a hawker stall. This crawl links five of the region's great street dishes into one route, each from a different country. Make them across a night with friends, or work through the crawl one stop at a time.
