If oriental cuisine is your thing then head to Singapore for the month long Food Festival which is significant in a city where the culture surrounding food is taken seriously.
As of 2021 there were over 40 Michelin Star restaurants in Singapore but there are also street sellers and other establishments that augment the festival since many different places do food which certainly eclipses Chinatown in London for sure not least the 2 hawker stalls that have also achieved Michelin star standard, no surprise there!
Ecuador is not all about the Andes, Guayaquil sits on the equator on the Pacific and is Ecuador’s tropical window on the world and on the 24th of July they celebrate the birth of Simón Bolívar.
