Food in Asia

There is a huge difference between Asian food and western food. Firstly, the flavour of any cuisine majorly depends on the recipe and the ingredients that is being used in each dish, Asian food uses a vary amount of sauces which hits the sweet palate, sour palate and salt palate all at once, maintaining a balance between flavours is a key to Asian cuisine. Western food uses meat a lot as their major dish such as steak and is particularly more aware of the serving-size. Similarly, western cuisines also emphasises on sauces, seasonings and accompaniments. And I personally love Asian cuisines. Secondly, the manner and different utensils are used in different cuisines, the most obvious one is that western people uses forks and knives whereas, Asians uses chopsticks. Thirdly, Asians in this case I’m referring to Chinese, we like to use round tables instead of squared tables, it is mainly because we like to sit closely together, the fact that round table can fit a whatever amount of people, there tend to be a lot of visitors in Chinese culture, thus it is very convenient and harmonious for every to sit closely against each other. Additionally, we like share the dishes among each other instead of having separate individual dishes of our own when eating. We believe in “sharing is caring"”at all times.
