IMO writing from the third world, it is almost always a safer bet to eat from an established fast food chain franchise, than restaurants, due to the poor state of regulation and enforcement of food safety standards. At least the chain franchise will have some guidelines on the quality of food, which ensures atleast that the food is not deadly if not healthy, where as with traditional restaurants all bets are off.
- GordonS 9y agoI've found across the whole of Asia, its perfectly safe to eat in independent restaurants, from hole-in-the wall places, street stalls and even old women frying chicken using portable burners on pavements in Indonesia. I've always gone to places that are popular with locals - think about it, they wouldn't be popular if they gave customers the raging shits. I can only assume that this holds true across other parts of the world. You don't make money without returning customers.
