It won't, rule 1 for travelling in that part of the world is to walk past the nice looking but empty restaurants and head straight to the street stall where the locals are eating. The food in the street stall hasn't had time to go off because it was probably brought fresh that day, the food in the back of the restaurant might have been sitting there for far too long waiting for a customer to order it.
