Of all the types of foods in Southeast Asia, noodle soups were the most ubiquitous of all. I estimate that I had some kind of noodle dish once every three days in my 6 months traveling. It seemed that everywhere we went there were new and interesting noodle soups to try.
Some had watery broths, others had thick creamy stocks.
Some were packed with extreme flavor, and other relied on accoutrements for seasoning.
All of theme featured some kind of meat and vegetables.
Many of them had eggs.
All of them were eaten with chopsticks, even in Thailand where forks and spoons are more common.
Their prices ranges from $0.60 to $6.00.
I ate soups in restaurants and on the street, in all settings: from my hotel porch to plastic benches on the sidewalk.
I had delicious and not-so-delicious soups in every country.
This is a comprehensive list of all the soups I had in every country in Southeast Asia. Many of them I had more than once.
