I think junk food place in general is actually more hygienic.

Might be. It also spans to occasional food trucks every now and then, which i would probably not call super clean (though can't claim to know either). "IF a food is tasty, you probably don't want to know under what conditions it's prepared" is something i believe in (but don't necessarily seek for - ie if somewhere is disturbingly unclean, i would probably skip, but otherwise don't care).

I was in Bangalore (India) some time ago and everybody and their dog tells you not to eat the street food there, especially not the dairy products!

First thing our host (friend and former flatmate) brought us to was a street merchant with some dairy sweets :-)

Definitely surviorship biased ... but we ate a lot of street foot while we were there and have not gotten sick. I guess it's fine if you don't go to the super rancid places.
