Take an Exotic (Yet Kosher) Food Adventure in Southeast Asia

Any adventure is simply incomplete without a bit of a food trip. It's not enough for the feet to do all the wandering, the taste buds should dig into the adventure as well. Truly experiencing new places is to eat just like the locals.

Jewish individuals have to be extra careful when picking what to eat when they're out traveling. Jewish cruises provide a more comfortable way for Jews to see the world while they stay Kosher in their eating choices. Outside cruise ships, the world is now is a huge community.

Jewish culture has made a significant impact in many countries. There are kosher options in unexpected places now. Southeast Asia is one of these places -- exotic, diverse, and surely one you should visit soon.

Cambodia

One of KRC's future tours includes the picturesque spots of Cambodia. During the trip, expect breathtaking views as you head over to locations like the Angkor Wat, embrace the Jewish community at Phnom Penh, and check out the rest of this beautiful country. Rich in culture, history, and Jewish influences, Cambodia is a good place to start if you want to truly experience the exotic places of Southeast Asia.

An exotic yet kosher food experience awaits you at the Chabad in Cambodia. Inside you will be served with fresh kosher food that they serve all day. If you're checked in the greater Cambodia area for the night and feel like staying in, they can deliver these kosher treats to your doorstep, no problem.

Vietnam

There is a strong Jewish community in Vietnam. Every Jewish activity is organized in the Chabad House right in the heart of the capital, Ho Chi Minh city. Vietnam is a good place to stay if you're looking to see Southeast Asia while staying completely kosher with your food choices.

There is a synagogue with a Jewish library in the Chabad House. The activities are held in the said place during the week. You get to meet the warm Jewish community that will make it feel like you have a home from the other side of the world.

A proud Jewish representation means that there is good kosher food served not so far away. Just like what they have in Cambodia, the food served in the Chabad House in Ho Chi Minh City is delivered fresh, hot, and completely kosher.

There are lots of other kosher food spots all over Vietnam. All you have to do is to befriend the local Jewish population and you'll unlock Vietnam's kosher secrets.

Kosher food to the world

All this kosher food craze all over the world started when people from Israel started to travel the world and introduced the food they loved back home. Since then, the world has known the delicious variations kosher has to offer. Many Jews are still traveling the world, more comfortable now than before because of the Jewish representation in many countries.

If you're a Jewish individual looking for a truly comfortable and luxurious way to see the world, you can go to one of these Jewish cruises organized by companies like Kosherica or KRC. These kinds of trips are very immersive and embracing of Jewish history and cultures. So, pack your bags and prepare your tastebuds for a kosher food adventure.

Keeping Fit on a Cruise

Let's be realistic here; you won't be able to work out as much when you're on vacation. Part of going on a trip is leaving your worries behind you, and that includes exercising. But as society dictates, to be properly functioning adults, we have to work out at least three to five times a week.

You can't exactly lose weight on vacation; if anything, the opposite happens. But don't let that bum you out from having a great time and shopping for all the clothes you want. There are still ways to keep fit on a cruise, especially as one as lavish as KRC.  

Hit the Gym at Least Once a Day

Yes, you read that right. Kosher Riverboat Cruises has a gym on board. You don't have to wait until you dock and scour hotels for a treadmill.  The gym is part of what you paid for, so make use of it.

Fellow passengers will want to be working out too to burn all the delicious meals they eat. Plus, working out with a group is way more fun than exercising alone.

Go on the Tour Excursions

Sure, there's the option to stay on the boat when you dock, but you're going to miss out on a whole lot of fun if you skip the tour excursions. You'll be walking non-stop, so if the elliptical isn't really your thing, you can still get your cardio in by exploring the city with your tour group.

Watch What You Drink

On Jewish tours like KRC, you'll have free-flowing Kosher drinks and cocktails. It's easy to get carried away when they taste so good. Don't overdo it because you'll probably take in way more calories from your drinks than you will from your food.

The same principle goes for dessert. If you want to indulge in a decadent crème brûlée during dinner time, skip out on the cheesecake during lunch.

Order Smart

You don't have to get the steak for every meal (as tempting as it may be). Eat at least one healthy meal a day. Healthy doesn't mean bland; you can ask the chefs to customize your orders to make sure they meet your standards for a delectable meal.

Take the Stairs

The ship only has how many floors; leave the elevator to people who actually need it. Play pretend and tell yourself that the ship doesn't have any elevators. It makes climbing up and down a whole lot easier.

It may be hard, but it’s doable. Don’t confuse relaxing with letting go. Lucky for you, KRC makes it easy. For more information on our tour packages feel free to message us. We’ll be more than happy to help.
