2. Street Food Safety Tips

1. Follow the Local Crowds: Stalls with steady customer queues guarantee fast ingredient turnover and fresh prep.
2. Eat Hot, Freshly Cooked Dishes: Choose wok-fried noodles or piping hot soups over pre-cooked trays.
3. Ice Check: Commercially made tube ice (with a hole through the middle) is safe and filtered.
