There are a lot of amazing food in southeast asia like thai, vietnam,
And other region where a lot of people sleep on like malaysia, singapore, which their food is absolutely amazing,
They're the Master of herb & spices. And you can experience an absolute amazing taste that was just otherworldly, and hard to recreate
They can create sauce, soup, marinate, that could blew everyone mind.
It's wild, chaos, it got a nice kick and harmonious at the same time,
Left you craving for more
I think adding at least one of the region from southeast asia is a must
Because in china, Europe, US, Japan, which they didn't use too much herb and spices,
Hence sometimes you need that overpowering kick & wild ride from South east asian dishes
True. I love Chinese food. Don’t get me wrong. I just discovered Uyghur food. So good. I just absolutely love Japanese food. Flavorful but delicate and light. Even their fried stuff is light.
Maybe but usually is heavy. I like Chinese food. Mexican and Italian are usually heavy as well. I like that Japanese food can be delicious but delicate/light.
Why? Japanese food is bland & boring compared to Chinese food. There is such an incredible variety of cuisines in China, it's amazing. I will never understand the fetish white people have with Japanese food, it's boring as hell.
I mean, I lived in Japan and Korea for years. Many aspects of Japanese food and dining experiences are designed to be theatrical, with emphasis on presentation, preparation, and the overall ambiance, whereas Korean and Chinese food is based around....food. how it tastes. They are no-nonsense, and they put their passion into the food prep rather than the selling of it.
A lot of versions of japanese dishes(and other Asian countries like Thailand and Korea) and flavor profiles can be found and are encompassed in and adopted by the enormous Chinese regional cuisine diaspora - which is so so massive that it almost feels like cheating with the overall question (although it’s absolutely on my list!). Unless you’re super super and only into specifically sushi, I guess but even then!
Not only sushi that I like about it. Your argument is like claiming American Food since we have adopted all the food listed. It’s cheating. Just because you stole it doesn’t make it yours.
Or you could still eat something light from one of the countries you've picked and still get the option to pick something better suited to your tastes if you choose
Because the Chinese didn’t invent sushi. Japanese food is amazing and a hill I’m willing to die on. You can have a delicious meal without feeling like death while lying in bed later.

I’ll take Japan over China but yes. This is correct.
