"You Shouldn't Eat Poop...

But if you're going to eat it make sure it's cooked."

Sound advice from American food safety expert Douglas Powell, whom I interviewed for our latest contribution to Zester Daily, on staying safe while grazing Asia's streets.

I get a fair number of emails from folks seeking advice on how avoid getting sick while eating well, like we do. Honestly, advice based solely on our personal experience is of limited use to the average traveler. In this piece I tried to get beyond what we do to stay healthy (though there is some of that too) and bring in a little science.

We hope Dave's slide show will inspire you to hit the region's streets hungry. The article is here.

Since we're talking beautiful images of street food, this seems as good as any for the sort of gentle reminder we try to limit to just a few times a year: We draw no advertising revenue from EatingAsia. But all of the images you see here or in our Zester Daily slide shows, or on Dave's brand-spanking-new professional website, or his photography blog or Photoshelter galleries, are available for purchase. Just hit the "Email me" link in the upper left hand corner.

We also conduct private food outings and photography walks in Kuala Lumpur (for a limited time only), Penang, and Chiang Mai.

OK, enough of that. Now, hit the street and eat!
