I have traveled from East to West and ate at many places, from the so-called Michelin to street food.

I think the best ones are usually those served with *one dish* only, which are usually old and family restaurants ( these are real craftsmen, a bit hard to come by); And the second best are home-cook style ones, especially cooked by mums - fun fact, these are usually hidden and modest looking, finding them almost feels like treasure hunting.

The worst are those fancy restaurants located in touristy places, and the second worst is those focused-on-the-looks types. and guess what? These are usually in super convenient locations, so no effort is even needed.

Finding good food does take effort, like everything else in life. 👀

Absolutely! Finding good food can indeed be a treasure hunt, and you've hit the nail on the head with your observations. Those humble, family-run restaurants and hidden gems often hold the most culinary delights. There's something magical about savoring dishes that have been perfected over generations by true craftsmen.

And let's not forget those home-cooked meals made with love by mothers. They have a way of creating dishes that transport us back to our childhoods and make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

As for those fancy tourist traps or restaurants focused solely on looks, they might have beautiful decor, but they don't always live up to their hype in terms of taste. It just goes to show that sometimes convenience isn't always worth settling for when it comes to finding truly delicious food.

So yes, finding good food does require effort—exploration, research, word-of-mouth recommendations—all part of the journey towards culinary satisfaction. Keep hunting for those hidden gems and savor every bite along the way!
