World's best city for street food and the top dishes you'll want to try

Foodies, get ready to be served up plenty of travel inspiration!

That's because the world's best cities for street food have been revealed, meaning plenty new ideas for your next culinary adventure.

My Late Deals has unveiled its Street Food City Index which features 30 cities to determine where you can find some of the world's most delectable street food treats.

Destinations were scored across factors including the number of street food vendors to be found, the price of dishes, sanitation, and the number of street food experiences and activities available.

Hong Kong topped the list, impressing with its 224 vendors, 100% scores on sanitation, and the wide array of food experiences on offer.

Although its dishes aren't the most budget friendly - they average around £5.24 per dish - the wide array of mouthwatering delicacies has been a firm favourite with both visitors and locals for decades.

Famous offerings include curry fishballs, cheung fun (rice noodle rolls), egg tarts, egg waffles and dim sum.

If you do visit, make sure you leave space for trips to some of Hong Kong's best restaurants .

Meanwhile, second place on the list went to Bangkok in Thailand, which proved to have the cheapest street food out of the 30 cities with an average cost of £1.61 per dish, making it ideal for intrepid explorers on a budget.

Must-try dishes include pad thai, khao niao mamuang and tom yum goong.

As for third place, the accolade went to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam which also won points thanks to its cheap dishes with an average cost of £1.77 per dish, not to mention its high number of street food vendors.

Some of the food highlights included pho, banh mi and goi cuon.
