If you really want to get to know the city you're traveling, then make sure you try their street food. Inherently cheap but so satisfying, there's no better way to get close to a place by experiencing its local delicacies.

Food traveling is awesome, and your taste buds would rejoice at some cities' choices of street food. Here are the top cities in the world with the best street food you'll ever come across:

Singapore. Singapore is not only the home of the perfect blend of culture of the Western and Asian civilization, their street food is also to die for. Added plus? They are regarded as one of the safest cities in the world for street food, so there's only a slim chance that you'll end up gasping for stomach pain in your hotel room after you've wolfed down several dishes. Try going to the Maxwell Food Center or Hong Lim Food Centre for an array of food choices you can try.

Istanbul, Turkey. Turkey is full of local markets, so make sure you track down their best street food stalls. The Egyptian Spice Bazaar is perhaps the best place to try, where heaping piles of fresh cheese, grilled meat, fresh spices and other local Turkish delights are located here. Try asking the locals for other underrated food spots, and your stomach would thank you.

Bangkok, Thailand. You'll never get your fill in Bangkok if you don't try their street food. Considered as one of the best street food destinations in Southeast Asia, over 12,000 vendors are lined up in the city. Be careful though, some food stalls may look delectable, but only approach those that have a sticker smiling plate, which means that local health officials have approved their food safety. Try eating their famous pad see ew (stir-fried rice noodles with Chinese broccoli), and gorge on their delicious boat noodles at the boat noodle alley in Victory Monument.

Barcelona, Spain. Europeans also know how to whip up street food that will make you crave for more, and in Barcelona, you will be met with several choices of delectable Spanish street food. Food markets are one of the main attractions in Barcelona, so if you're looking for the best, try visiting La Boqueria and Santa Caterina Market, where freshly made bocadillos and other local pastries are waiting for you.
