Cebu City - Having the first bite of tteobokki is like being on the streets of South Korea enjoying their street foods or having a slice of Margherita pizza is like having lunch at an Italian restaurant in Rome. Food takes you to different countries, cities, or destinations, just by enjoying and indulging in the food specialties from places.

Eating is one of life's great sensory pleasures. Digging into a bowl of ice cream can be a true joy and make life feel worthwhile. For some, indulging in cuisines is one way to have an in-depth indulgence in that country’s culture. Exploring new dishes is also a way to explore your palate, and to try out unique flavors which are different from your own culture.

Food is a common thread that binds everyone on the planet. One of our most basic instincts is to feed people; it inspires humanity and strengthens communities. Exploring the world does not mean taking a flight to the country but can also be done simply by trying their dish.

How can this be done? Just try cooking out meals from other countries or going to restaurants that offer international cuisine. This takes you to your dream destinations with a full stomach. So why not start traveling around the world through your kitchen?  // NO I Christine April M. Lopez, RND
