Discover What to Eat Like a Local Wherever You Travel
The Insider’s Guide to Local Food in Asian Cities
Wondering what to eat in a new city? Discover authentic local dishes, hidden food gems, and local favourites recommended by experienced travellers.
My Journey: From Tourist to True Local
I started my travels just like anyone else, following popular guides and visiting well-known tourist spots. But after exploring more than 90 cities, I discovered that the real heart of a destination isn't found in guidebooks. It is found in local markets, hidden eateries, family-run restaurants, and street food stalls.
By making friends with locals, observing where they eat, and learning what they order, I uncovered authentic flavours and experiences that most travellers never find. Along the way, I realized that one of the biggest questions every traveller faces is simply: what to eat?
That's why I created Notitia. From street food stalls in Bangkok and night markets in Taipei to local cafés in Seoul and family-run restaurants in Tokyo, Notitia helps travellers discover what to eat and where locals actually eat. My goal is to help you skip the tourist traps and experience the true culture of every destination through authentic food and genuine local connections.

Stop Touring. Start Belonging.
Before your tips, I stuck to the popular spots in Seoul. After learning from you, I started exploring local markets and tiny eateries where only locals go. It made my trip so much more authentic and delicious.

I’ve visited Hong Kong before, but this time, you taught me how to read and understand menus written in local Chinese characters. Thanks to your tips, I was able to discover hidden gems and order dishes I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. It really opened up a whole new world of authentic food experiences for me.
