Australia's public health system records people returning from various countries including Indonesia / Bali with typhoid every year leading health authorities to continue to recommend immunisation for travel. Picking it up in Hong Kong would also be possible. The symptoms usually start about 7-14 days following exposure. The other disease endemic from food etc is Hep A. Hope your friend will be OK.
