World Cuisines

Hello readers! Sometimes we get tired of eating the same grilled chicken and vegetables over and over again and we crave something different. I know that a lot of you guys love eating ethnic cuisines so I made this guide on what to eat at your favorite world restaurants. Please remember, this is a general guide, you should always check the restaurant to see how they prepare their food.

1. Share a meal since restaurants tend to serve 2-5 times the recommended serving
2. Opt for grilled or baked in place of fried
3. Avoid foods that have a breading, sauce, or batter
