1)Choice between local restaurant or specialized food-stands along the road: the first seem to be better than the second but check the kitchen first., likely that food ingredients are less fresh and the kitchen a breeding place for bacteria. Food-stands are smaller have small storage and preparation place, shorter food preparation time (stuff bought food sold) and specialized what makes their food ingredients has to be used in a few hours.
2) Start a meal with fresh white bread or white rice first! It comes in your empty stomach, decreases the PH and puts a temporary plug in the stomach exhaust. The rest of the meal will have to stay longer in a more acid stomach and the plug is made of material that simpler and in general is more frequently fresh prepared that the other stuffs.
