@Stephanie: Japan is a bit more difficult to find food for under $2, but you can still find a few cheap alternatives. For under $2 you can get onigiri at any convenience or grocery store – these are essentially rice triangles/rolls with something inside (e.g., tuna, salmon, egg, etc.). Another good option is go to by the department store grocery sections (usually in the basement) just before closing time and they will have heavily discounted a lot of their fresh foods. And, don’t forget the option of sharing a okonomiyaki with a friend – might not be $2 cheap, but it’s still pretty reasonable.

I can live on Thai street food. How they can make Pad Thai and all the ingredients for the price is beyond me and no matter how hard I try to copy the recipe at home it costs 20X more and never ever tastes the same. Great post thanks for sharing.

@Allan: The timing of your comment is perfect. I was thinking the same thing about Thai food in general. How, on the street, you can a meal for under a dollar. So, so true about Pad Thai — the absolute perfect example. Good luck and keep trying to perfect it. It’s worth it!

@Lee: Southeast Asian curries — I really only enjoy them in their native, on the street context. That, or when I have a kitchen to make them at home. Happy snacking in Malaysia:

@Andrea: There are a few bits under 2 Euros in Europe, just hard to find. 3 Euro sandwiches in Venice…cicchetti bar maybe?

If you have the right information, there’s no reason to give up on quality and taste. Happy street food eating!

Wow, what a mouth watering list! I didn’t find MUCH in Europe for under 2 euros, but I did find some great 3 euro sandwiches in Venice when I didn’t feel like spending 10 times that on dinner. I love finding cheap eats, and often you really don’t have to give up quality and yumminess!
Street food is one of my favorite things in the while world. Great post, thanks!

We are in Malaka, Malaysia right now and feel bad if we pay over $2 for a meal!

I’m not sure If I can get used to going out for a curry and paying 10x that back in England Again.

@Sally: Eating at local street stands or restaurants is often where the best food and conversation is. Couldn’t agree more! And yes, we were amazed that there are still $0.16 tacos in Mexico – delicious ones, too!

@Vicky: Congratulations on your upcoming trip!! Japan will not have many $2 options, but once you get into Southeast Asia you will be amazed by the selection of cheap and delicious food. Enjoy!
