Naughty Nuri's Warung in Ubud, Bali serves the BEST barbecued pork ribs in Bali, highly recommended. Cheap as well, at about USD6 per rack.

A pizzeria tucked in a corner of the most quaint town of Ipoh, in Malaysia. Serving real authentic pizzas with fresh ingredients, Michelangelo's here to stay!

Penang of Malaysia is rated as one of the top destinations in the world, famous for the endless varieties of street foods that are cheap and delicious.

Bak Kut Teh is a classic Chinese dish, served in claypots. The soup version is hearty, with herbal soup brimming with pork ribs, tender cuts of pork, and even pig offals. The DRY version of Bak Kut Teh consists of sumptuous cuts of pork in a sticky, caramelized and spicy sauce, with chopped okra and chillies.
