One would be hard-pressed to find a place in the world where dishes were more exotic than in Hong Kong. The culinary offer in that Eastern city is absolutely only one of its kind, with menus comprising items such as earthworms, chicken feet and snakes, and dishes one can’t quite place just by going by their names, and that turn to be repulsive when they finally arrive on a plate. Knowing as much, a local company has come up with this handy mobile app. It lets anybody view photos of dishes right on his iPhone, and keep unnecessary food culture clashes right at bay.

Users of CampusFork can search for such photos both by location and by food type, and the app has a database that spans over 100,000 different dishes already. Just as importantly, it includes US dishes as well, so the app is not a white elephant on a world of its own, it’s something that food lovers will be able to use both home and abroad.
