Feel the outline of Southeast Asia

● Positioning: Southeast Asia consists of Indochina Peninsula and Malay Archipelago, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, East Timor and other countries. Indo-China Peninsula is named because it is located in the south of China. There are seven countries on the island: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia consists of the Malay Peninsula in the south of Indochina Peninsula (commonly known as "West Malaysia") and Sarawak and Sabah in the north of kalimantan island (commonly known as "East Malaysia").

● Clothing: The annual temperature in Southeast Asian countries is 25℃-30℃, and the temperature difference between the hottest month and the hottest month is very small. There are only two seasons in a year in many areas: the dry season is from 1 1, and the rainy season is from June to 1. Generally speaking, the dry season (that is, now) is a more suitable tourist season, and travel is mainly based on light summer clothes.

Shorts, durable slippers and bathing suits that can be soaked in water are essential equipment for the day of going out to sea. In addition, it will be useful to bring a white long-sleeved breathable dress. On the one hand, it can keep out the cold when the air conditioning temperature is low indoors and in the car, on the other hand, it helps to block the ultraviolet rays of the local strong sunlight.

Major travel agencies advise tourists to bring their own sunscreen, umbrellas or sunglasses and medicines to prevent mosquito bites, heatstroke and acclimatization. Wear comfortable flat shoes to avoid rubbing your feet when climbing up and down or walking long distances.

● Diet: The taste is hot and sour, and there are many raw and cold foods. Tea and ice water are free during meals, but drinks and drinks are charged separately. Pay attention to food hygiene, and it is best to bring your own medicine to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.

● Accommodation: Due to environmental reasons, hotels in Southeast Asia generally do not have personal daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers, so tourists need to bring their own. Hotels are generally equipped with swimming pools for free enjoyment.

● Walking: Contrary to China, all pedestrians and motor vehicles must obey the rule of driving on the left. Accordingly, the car is on the right rudder, and the guests get on the bus from the left door. When driving by yourself, try not to honk when someone is walking in front.

Please help yourself with your luggage when entering or leaving the country. Don't help others with their luggage. Traveling from Thailand to Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong requires taking international flights. There is no baggage check-in procedure at the exit of the international airport, so tourists should not carry cash and valuables in their checked baggage.

● About money: each person can take no more than 5,000 US dollars or equivalent foreign exchange and 20,000 RMB out of the country. Renminbi, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars can be exchanged into foreign currencies in banks, hotels or with tour guides. The specific exchange rate must be determined by the current exchange rate. In Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, RMB can be used in some places.

Southeast Asia and other countries belong to tipping countries. Every tourist participating in the tour should prepare 20 yuan as a tip for drivers and tour guides every day. Bellman, room cleaner, toilet cleaner, tour guide, driver, etc. You should give some rewards in hotels that provide services for yourself. Generally, about two yuan per person per day; In Thailand, the waiter has to tip 20 baht for carrying luggage or delivering boiled water to the room. Singapore and Malaysia have no such habit.

● Communication: Please refer to China Mobile's international roaming charges. Receiving text messages is free.

Vietnamese traditional festivals and folk customs

Like China, Vietnamese traditional festivals include Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, among which Spring Festival is the biggest festival. Vietnam has simple folk customs and the people are civilized and polite. It is customary to greet each other, or nod, or shake hands, or hug each other according to French etiquette, mostly brothers and sisters. Deeply influenced by China culture, Viet Nam believes in Buddhism. Buddhism was introduced into Vietnam from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the tenth century, Buddhism was honored as the state religion. At present, there are about 20 million Buddhists in China. In addition, Catholicism has been introduced to Vietnam for more than 400 years, and there are currently more than 3 million believers, most of whom are in the south. Vietnamese people worship their ancestors and are generally superstitious about the city god and the god of wealth. Ordinary people have altar tables and incense tables, and they worship at home on holidays. Dress simply. On formal occasions, men wear suits and women wear national "robes" (similar to cheongsam) and pants. Eating habits are similar to those of some ethnic groups in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Eat with chopsticks, like to eat light, cold and sour food. It is forbidden for Vietnamese to take photos with three people. It is considered unlucky not to light a cigarette for three people with matches or lighters. Don't want people to touch your head. Don't point your feet at others when sitting on the floor.

Yuenan flavor snack

Snail powder in Hanoi: On the streets of Hanoi in the morning, you can often meet stalls selling snail powder. This round vermicelli is slightly thinner than Guilin rice noodles and Yunnan rice noodles. Choose high-quality rice, delicate and elastic, white and transparent, refreshing taste. Snails are picked and eaten now, picked out with bamboo needles and put into powder, and then added with condiments such as snail soup and pepper, which is delicious.

Chicken powder in Hanoi: Chicken powder is made of exquisite materials. Besides shredded chicken, it is also served with shredded pork, shredded eggs, shredded fungus, shredded onion and shredded coriander. The shredded egg is uniquely made, spread into thin slices, cut into filaments and sprinkled on flour, which sets off red shredded pork and white shredded chicken, which is particularly appetizing.

Beef powder: Vietnamese beef powder must be made of beef. Add a large piece of prime beef with various seasonings, cook it in a pot, and then cut it into thin slices. After blanching rice noodles in a boiling pot, beef, beef soup and various seasonings are added to make them taste unique.

Shrimp cake: It is also a famous snack in Vietnam. It is made of fresh prawns wrapped in seasoning batter and fried in an oil pan. When it comes out of the pot, it smells fragrant and tastes crisp and delicious. There is a restaurant near the West Lake in Hanoi, and its shrimp cakes have a high reputation.

Brown meat: a traditional Vietnamese food. In the past, ordinary Vietnamese families could only eat it during festivals. In rural areas, every family should brown the meat during festivals, especially before the Spring Festival. Add all kinds of spices to the good lean pork, mash it in a stone mortar, then wrap it in banana leaves or lotus leaves and cook it in a pot. Cut it into pieces or thin slices before eating, steam it, dip it in fish sauce and pepper, it tastes delicious and not greasy, and it smells fragrant after eating.

Vietnamese enema: it is a favorite food of Vietnamese people. Pig red is mixed with chopped lean meat and various coriander, poured into the pig's small intestine and cooked. Cut into pieces and dip in various seasonings before eating.

Fried spring rolls: This is the most popular dish for Vietnamese people. In recent years, many restaurants in China have introduced them, but their practices and eating methods are not as good as those in Vietnam. The skin of spring rolls in Vietnam is made of glutinous rice, as thin as cicada wings, white and transparent. Wrap the skin of spring rolls with stuffing made of bean sprouts, vermicelli, shredded squid, shrimp and onion. Fry in the oil pan until crisp and yellow. When eating, wrap the glass lettuce in spring rolls and dip it in seasonings such as fish sauce, sour vinegar and pepper. Crispy but not greasy, very delicious.

Mung bean cake: it is also a kind of flavor food worth tasting. Vietnam's first-class mung bean cake is produced in the ocean (place name) not far from Haiphong, and Jinlong brand is the best. Vietnam's mung bean cake is made of good mung beans, ground into very fine powder, and then mixed with refined sugar and oil, which tastes soft and sweet. Ocean mung bean cake is beautifully packaged and is a good gift for friends and relatives.

Beef hot pot: The biggest feature of this hot pot is that the bottom of the pot is made of sour vinegar. Put the beef slices in the rolled sour vinegar, rinse them a little, then dip them in the seasoning, and serve them with shredded spinach, lettuce and various coriander, which will have an endless aftertaste.

Sour soup: a special dish in Ho Chi Minh City. Sour soup is not made of sour vinegar, but with locally produced sour seeds. Suanzi is the core of a locally grown leguminous plant, which is shaped like a bean and has a sour taste. In addition to sour seeds, grouper, bean sprouts, tomatoes and coriander were added to the sour soup, and the boiled soup was extremely delicious.

Roasted squid: On the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, you can often see vendors pushing carts and selling grilled squid along the street. There is a pile of red charcoal fire on the cart, and there are dry whales next to it. The size of the whale depends on the customer's own choice. After the whale is browned on charcoal fire, it is pressed into long and large slices with an iron calender, and then coated with yellow skin sauce, Chili sauce and other condiments to roll up and eat. After visiting the night market in Ho Chi Minh City in the evening, I am tired. I will feel particularly comfortable to buy some grilled squid, add a bottle of beer and taste it carefully.

Eat green vegetables raw: When dining in a Vietnamese restaurant, you may often see Vietnamese people eat all kinds of green vegetables. This way of eating is a traditional way of eating in Vietnam, which may be called a major feature of Vietnamese food culture, which is quite in line with the viewpoint of modern nutrition. Of course, eating green vegetables raw is also particular. These green vegetables mainly include washed spinach, lettuce, mung bean sprouts, and various parsley, such as radish and mint. Raw vegetables should be dipped in seasonings, mainly fish sauce, sour vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Vietnam is located in the tropics with a hot climate. Eating green vegetables raw has the effect of promoting fluid production and reducing fire, which is helpful for digestion and nutrient absorption. I have never tried to eat green vegetables raw, so I should say that I can't eat Vietnamese snacks.

It is worth mentioning that Vietnamese coffee is also very accomplished in the field of coffee. Known as "Didi Coffee", it is the first choice coffee. It grinds Vietnamese coffee beans into powder, puts them on a brewer, puts them on a coffee cup, and then pours them into boiling water. Full-bodied coffee is dripped into the cup along the hole at the bottom of the brewer, and milk sugar is added. You can say without affectation, "It's delicious!"

Philippine customs

As the only Catholic country in Asia, the Philippines has inherited the traditions of Spain and the United States. Muslims in southern Mindanao have a particularly strong folk custom, which is quite different from the residents in China and the North Philippines.

The Philippines is the craziest place to celebrate Christmas. Their Christmas holiday starts from 65438+February 16 and lasts until 65438+ 10/6. For more than half a month, every household has been decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the streets are beautifully decorated.

Laos customs and habits

Laos is a multi-ethnic country, and Lao Long accounts for 70% of the national population. The customs and habits of Lao Long largely represent the customs and habits of Laos.

In rural areas and remote mountainous areas, all ethnic groups in Laos wear their own sewing clothes, and clothes in cities and economically developed areas have become more commercialized and international. Laolong's national costume is similar to that of Dai people in Xishuangbanna, China. Men wear collarless double-breasted shirts, sand cage pants or long-sleeved wide-leg pants, and women wear collarless oblique-breasted shirts and skirts. Whenever there is a Chinese New Year holiday or a major event, women should wear national costumes and put a bun on the plate, while men should wear more suits and less national costumes.

Lao people like to eat glutinous rice. The old cuisine is sour, spicy and raw. The dishes with ethnic characteristics are: fish sauce, grilled fish, roast chicken, coriander fried minced meat, shredded papaya, hot and sour soup and so on. Most vegetables are eaten raw.

The Lao people are very gentle, kind and polite. When people you know meet and say goodbye, you should say hello, put your hands on your chest and hold hands. Men generally do not take the initiative to shake hands with women. In order to show intimacy, people who are familiar or unfamiliar can call their elders uncles and aunts, those who are older than themselves are called big brothers and sisters, and those who are younger than themselves are called brothers and sisters. They are generally called comrades in state organs or the army.

When traveling to Laos, you should prepare gifts and wrap them beautifully. Commonly used gifts include flower baskets, handicrafts, tobacco and alcohol. It is customary to send cash to wedding banquets or festive days. Guests should take the front door when entering the house, take off their shoes when entering the house, and generally sit on the floor. Be careful not to point to people or things with your feet instead of your fingers. Men cross their legs, and women put their feet aside with their knees. When someone is talking to each other, don't cross between two people. If there is no place to go around, you need to go through the middle and bow your head and say sorry. Don't touch others' heads (including children). Guests are forbidden to visit the host's inner room.

Traveling to Laos, drinking unity wine is more popular. The host brought a bottle of wine and a wine glass. The host drank it first, and then invited the guests to drink it in turn. Exploring wine is also a traditional etiquette for Laos to entertain guests. Many bamboo tubes were inserted in the altar, and the host and guest sat around the altar, laughing and drinking.

Matchmaking ceremony is a ritual custom of the old dragon people, and it is also a blessing ceremony, which is often held on holidays, welcome guests and weddings. At the ceremony, the host and guest sat on the floor, with a silver tray full of flowers in the middle, and bundles of white cotton thread hung on the flowers. At the beginning of the ceremony, venerable elders or monks will say greetings. After reading it, they took off the cotton thread on the flower, tied it on the wrist of the guests and friends, and said a blessing while tying the thread. Guests can also take the initiative to tie the thread to the host or others to pray. The thread tied to the hand is usually worn for 3 days to 1 week.

Malays generally like to eat spicy food, avoid eating pork, don't drink hard liquor, and don't toast on formal occasions. The most taboo animal of Malays is pigs, but they like cats.

Mosques are places where Muslims hold religious ceremonies. When opening to the outside world, women need to wear robes and headscarves. Otherwise, you will be rejected. The traditional clothes of Malay men and women are: men wear collarless shirts, trousers, short sarong around their waists, a "loose ancient" hat and leather shoes. A lady's dress is also a blouse and sarong, as wide as a robe, and is covered with a monochromatic bright scarf. Dresses and casual clothes of Malay men and women have a common feature, that is, they are wide and long, with bright colors covering their hands and feet, unique patterns and beautiful styles. Nowadays, for the convenience of work, migrant workers generally wear light-colored suits, and only wear traditional clothes when they come home from work or visit relatives and friends or major festivals. On various formal occasions, men can wear long-sleeved Buddy shirts in addition to national costumes or suits. Batty shirt is a long-sleeved shirt made of batik cloth, which is thin and cool. Now it has gradually replaced the traditional Malay costume and become Malaysia's "national costume". In Malaysia, people generally don't wear yellow clothes except members of the royal family.

There are pagodas all over the country, which have the reputation of (the capital of gold), especially the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, which is world-famous. You must take off your shoes and socks when entering the Buddhist temple, and women are not allowed to wear stockings and shorts.

Due to their deep belief in Buddhism, Burmese people are different in temperament, kind-hearted and hospitable. When visiting friends' homes, they usually prepare small gifts.

Interestingly, Burmese people don't have surnames. Men's names are preceded by U (Niannujiao) and women's names are preceded by DAW (Niannujiao).

Burmese people attach importance to education, and Burmese and English are widely used. If it is necessary to find a Chinese translator, it is not difficult to find one.

Talking about Thai food

Thai food is hot and sour, appetizing and addictive. Fish, shrimp and crabs are all killers in restaurants. After tasting several Thai restaurants, it seems that everyone is deeply impressed by these dishes.

Pay attention to the material

Thailand is a tropical country near the sea, which is rich in green vegetables, seafood and fruits. So the main ingredients of Thai food are seafood, fruits and vegetables. The main meal of Thai people is a big bowl of rice with one or two curry dishes, a fish, a soup and a salad (lettuce). Eating order is not particular, personal preference. Snacks after meals are usually seasonal fruits or various desserts made of flour, eggs, coconut milk and palm sugar. Because of its unique advantages, Thai food has bright colors, red and green, and excellent eyes. Whether it is the gorgeous freshness of fresh vegetables and fruits, or the meat texture of squid, squid and other seafood, it makes people feast their eyes.

Unique seasoning

Anyone who tastes Thai food for the first time will find the seasoning of Thai food unique. Many seasonings are unique to Southeast Asia and even Thailand and cannot be found in China.

The most commonly used seasonings are:

1, Thai lemon (lime)

Thai lemon is a unique seasoning fruit in Southeast Asia, which is slightly sweeter than American lemon in taste and personal taste. The Thai lemon is small, sour and fragrant, which often makes people who have smelled its fragrance unforgettable. It can be used as a flavoring agent for lemon juice drinks and beer, and its main use is as a flavoring agent for Thai food. Almost every dish in Thailand is squeezed with lemon juice, which makes every dish exude a rich fruit flavor with a typical Southeast Asian flavor. Thais can say that there is no fish to eat, but they can't live without lemons.

2. Fish sauce

Fish sauce is a typical seasoning in southern Thailand. Some people call it white soy sauce. As the name implies, just like soy sauce, it is similar to Chinese soy sauce. It is mainly fermented by some small fish and shrimp. The taste may make some people uncomfortable, because it has a strong smell of rotten fish and shrimp. Let people who can't get used to the smell of fish cover their noses and run away.

3. Thai pepper

It is said that Thai morning pepper is the hottest pepper in the world. Thai is called "mouse excrement pepper", which shows that this is a very small but very spicy pepper. It is widely used in Thai cooking art. Cooking without a few chopped morning peppers is just like eating Sichuan food without spicy food.

4. curry sauce

Coconut juice is the basic ingredient of curry sauce, and there are many seasonings, including lemongrass, shrimp sauce, fish sauce and more than a dozen local spices and peppers, ranging from mild to extremely spicy, which anyone can choose. Thai culture is deeply influenced by Indian and China cultures. Some people say that the father of Thai culture is India. You can feel the influence of curry sauce on Thai food.

In addition, lemon leaves and lemongrass are also commonly used ingredients in Thai cuisine.

Diversified practice

Thailand's diet is deeply influenced by China, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian and even Portuguese, but it is unique and unique with various styles. Its practice mainly includes the following points:

1, China wok is on fire. This is a practice similar to Cantonese cuisine. Fresh vegetables with Thai seasoning can stir-fry dishes with extremely fresh taste. The main representative works are: rice noodles (fried with shrimp, pork, eggs and sweet and sour sauce), Thai curry chicken, chicken coconut (chicken juice with lemon and coconut milk) and beef salad.

2. Chinese yam. There is no substitute Chinese at present. It's a bit like a combination of soup and cold salad. Thailand is located in the tropics, so many yams are cultivated. The famous papaya salad is called "SOMTAM". This salad is mainly shredded papaya, shrimp and lemon juice, with fish sauce, garlic and chopped pepper. It tastes spicy.

3. stew. The subtropical climate is hot, which breeds rich soup culture. Soup is a lubricant for Thai people to maintain family harmony and enhance their relationship. Therefore, when you come to Thailand, you should drink more soup and drink delicious soup. Lemon and shrimp soup in Thailand tastes unusual, which may be difficult for ordinary people to accept. First of all, the soup is extremely spicy, with a lot of curry in it. Therefore, only people with non-mainstream tastes can like it.

Different places in Thailand have different dishes. Northeasters like to eat glutinous rice with roast chicken. On the other hand, northerners prefer a local sour meat called "NAEM". The food in the south is deeply influenced by the Muslim style in Malaysia, and there are all kinds of raw seafood.

Basic seating forms for Thai people when dining:

Traditional Thais eat on the floor, but now Thai restaurants are in the form of tables and chairs. So the way to eat is no different from ordinary Chinese food. If the diners are of different ages or generations, they will be seated in turn from the upper position near the wall or farthest from the door.

In the early days, the traditional way of eating in Thailand was to fill the rice with banana leaves and then eat it with your hands. Today's Thai tableware is also very simple. The basic tableware is a spoon, a pair of chopsticks and a plate. When eating, put the rice into a disc shape, use a spoon to hold the dishes with soup, and use chopsticks to hold the dishes.

How to eat Thai food

Not used to eating with plates, many people are a little unaccustomed to eating Thai food for the first time. As long as we know the correct method, there will be no difficulty. When eating Thai food, the correct way to eat it is: first scoop a proper amount of white rice on the plate, then mix the food with the rice with a spoon, then scoop the soup from the body to the front with a spoon, and then put the rice up after eating. Because there are many kinds of dishes, don't serve too much rice at a time, so as to avoid the inconvenience of eating all kinds of dishes in a pile. In addition, when eating, don't pour the plate into your mouth for convenience, which is neither elegant nor rude.

Thai style

Thailand is located in the middle of Indochina Peninsula in Asia, with unique natural conditions and flat terrain. Thailand is located in the tropics, and most areas have a tropical monsoon climate.

Thailand is a Buddhist country. Thailand, with its changeable scenery and rich cultural connotation, has become a unique choice for tourists' holiday plans. Whether you are looking for ancient ruins, looking forward to watching rare birds and lush tropical plants, or riding an elephant to try an exciting forest trip, you will have countless surprises in this hospitable country.

In this beautiful country called "White Elephant Kingdom", there are magnificent and angular temples and pagodas everywhere.

Singapore flavor Hainan chicken rice

To tell you the truth, I didn't think chicken rice was great until I read in newspapers and entertainment magazines that Anita Mui had to eat Mandarin Hainan chicken rice every time he came to Singapore. Wu Junru is most afraid of a new job, because the "hateful" Hainan chicken rice will ruin her weight loss plan. ......

It turns out that Hainan chicken rice is the pride of Singapore cuisine.

With the promotion of many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, Singapore's "Hainan Chicken Rice" has long been famous all over the world, at least in places where there are Chinese in the world.

Chicken rice and coffee are the food representatives of Hainan people. Unexpectedly, in the past ten years, with the efforts of artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, chicken rice has become a representative of national cuisine.

Hainan chicken rice refers to boiled chicken, and other roast chicken, roast chicken and fried chicken are not counted. The delicacy of Hainan chicken rice lies in that the chicken is smooth and delicious, and the oily chicken rice is oily but not greasy. Serve with coriander, dipped in black soy sauce, garlic and special red pepper. Wow, does this taste authentic?

It turns out that chickens in Hainan Island are not artificially raised, and the meat quality is definitely not as smooth as that in the local area. But the chicken in Hainan Island has a real chicken flavor after cooking, not the sesame oil flavor of local chicken rice. The authentic chicken rice in Hainan Island is cooked with coconut oil, so it has a strange taste.
