Remember next time when you are hungry and want to eat some local dish - stay away from touristic places! Go where the locals go! This is so intuitive, if you want local food - just eat where locals eat.

The fewer european faces the better!!!

Based on today's experience when we stopped by a tourisity street corner which seemed like a local market with food. We got a few dishes and they were not edible! they were not bad, beyond bad, we literally couldn't eat the meat, it was like rubber. Talking to the cookes there gave me an extra stick of meat which was at least cooked, but still not very tasty.

again, go to local places and not for tourists.
