Of course these lists are not thorough or definitive—there are countless places worthy of your awed first-bites and appreciative slurps. But these 25 restaurants and 10 bars in each of eight destinations exemplify the revelatory dining and drinking experience that is Southeast Asia today, why everyone comes here to eat. Make your bookings first (or check when the stall is open), then plan everything else around that.
