What we bring back from the road

The road journal is the blog of Asian Road, Southeast Asian street food in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. It tells the street cooking of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and Malaysia: the typical dishes, where they come from, and the gestures behind them.

Why the wok, what sets a nem apart from a spring roll, what sticky rice really is: simple answers, written by the people behind the counter.
