Singapore has been recognised as the world’s best city for street food-obsessed travellers in 2019, according to a survey by CEOWorld magazine, while Bangkok and Hong Kong placed second and third, respectively.
In the first index of its kind, CEOWorld magazine has ranked 50 cities from around the world to reveal the best places for street food-focused travellers.
The Street Food City Index 2019 placed Ho Chi Minh City in fourth ahead of Mumbai, which was fifth, while Rome ranked sixth, and Tel Aviv seventh. The top 10 was rounded out by Sydney, Mexico City and Portland.

The study was conducted over three months from July 18, 2019, to September 19, 2019. The initial list of 50 cities to be polled was selected following a review of numerous “best street food cities” lists. CEOWorld analysed Google Maps to approximate the number of street food vendors in each city.
