Asian eats worth trying

Honestly, if you’re in Macedonia and want a proper Asian meal, don’t just settle for sushi. Go for places that specialize in either one or two regional cuisines. Like Kin Thai for solid Thai, or Taste of Asia for Chinese classics. And if you’re around in winter, hot bowls of ramen or spicy Szechuan noodles really hit the spot. Also, ask locals or hotel staff,they often know a tiny noodle shop or dumpling place that doesn’t pop up online but serves killer food. I once ended up in a small spot near Debar Maalo by asking just that, and it was a highlight.

Pro tip: try to visit on a weekday evening. These restaurants can get busy on weekends and the relaxed atmosphere goes away. Pace yourself through a few dishes to really appreciate the depth of flavors.
