Belly Full in Asia.

By Vicki Edmunds
What a great and brilliant concept, especially if you love travelling, and love the buzz of meeting the locals.   The real travel experience lies in the people and their food.  I love when I'm travelling to all parts of the world, eating where the locals people eat or with the actual locals themselves, this always gives me an indication that the food is good, and most importantly, I will be paying the local price, and seeing the satisfaction and pride on their faces when tourists are eager to enjoy their food and their ambiance,  I first saw Eat With a Local by accident on the BBC show called CLICK, and immediately signed up.   Already I've made some new friends, and put on the forum of my special requests.  I was planning a 4-week packing trip around Asia; so EWAL could start to give me a platform to look for some new eating friends in the region of Asia.  I was lucky and hooked up with a guy called TZE who was from Singapore.  We met up with TZE in a famous shopping mall called LOT 10. You’re probably thinking a typical shopping mall eatery, however this was with a difference.  In LOT 10, all hawker stalls are specially selected from the best street hawkers in the center of Singapore, and all hawker stalls are graded for their food, hygiene and ambience, they are graded the following  A)  Good   B)  Fair  C)  Eat at your own peril  So all the eatery stalls in LOT 10 are graded A.  We enjoyed beautifully cooked local food
