So glad I got my shots done before I went on this trip!

If you have seen what I have seen from the trip to Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Philippines street food vendor, "washed disposable chopsticks" is last thing you will worry about street food. Despite seeing those.. I still eat those and *knock on wood* have not gotten sick from it. I think it was because that I only go for "hot street food" and when it comes to drink, always get bottled water.
