Which Asian Cuisine is your favorite?

[dido]

depends on authenticity...

for the authentic cuisines, I would say
Chinese>Korean>Thai>Vietnamese>Japanese
not sure about Malaysian/Indonesian/Cambodian

but the Americanized versions are generally gross

 

[Onionsoilder]

Japanese. Can't get enough of that sushi, oishi desu!

I like Malaysian chicken on a stick with that peanut sauce stuff on it.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Oh hell I forgot about that. Those things are amazing!

 

[silver 2039]

I think its called satay or something.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

My sister's best friend is Filipino, and her mom makes all kinds of Filipino food. That stuff is pretty good, and they have something similar to it, I think also called satay.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Chinese is the only style I've eaten on a regular basis.

Japanese rip-offs of American dishes are my favorite since they do a better job than Americans like with their kobe beef hamburgers and steaks. Not sure if that counts but I don't like any authentic asian cuisine, so thats the closest it gets for me.

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, pretty much all I like about Japanese food is the meat, 'specially the steaks. Vietnamese food took some getting used to, but in the last year and a half it's really become a staple of my diet...started out with leeks in fish sauce

 

[Arwon]

Yeah, Satay is either Malaysian or generally South East Asian (Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, etc). Peanut sauces are awesome.

Thai is my favourite world cuisine. Yellow curry with vegetables and coconut rice is my idea of heaven. I like Korean and Chinese but since I don't eat meat I'm a bit limited for variety. I missed Japanese food more on my 1 week vacation back home than I've missed British food for the years I've been in Japan. I've eaten very little Vietnamese food, but what I've had was great. The only Filipino food I've come across contained meat, so I can't comment.

Satay is probably Malaysian, although almost every SE Asian countries has its own version. I generally prefer the varieties without the peanut sauce.

Despite being an heir to a Chinese restaurant, I love Japanese Cusine, which is on par with Italian Cusine. Though I would love to have Kimchi at every meal.

Malaysian is a nationality! You are thinking of malay..

Most East Asian countries (especially in Malaysia and Singapore) have their own satay, curry, fried rice and numerous other dishes

 

[Kraznaya]

Chinese authentic cuisine doesn't need to be "disgusting..."

The mainstay meats are still pork, followed by chicken and then beef.

I have to vote for Chinese as a whole, the diversity of the country's various reason (I love Sichuan, Guangdong, and Shanghai in particular) brings too many dishes that I like.

Coconut rice! Yay!

Ahahahahaha, I love how people here talk about Asian food like it's some strange exotic thing

I've had them all on a pretty regular basis (except for Filipino - no idea what it's like)

Japanese probably wins for me, since I like raw stuff in general and for some reason I really like the preserved jellyfish. Thai is really good, but I don't like everything it has. Never liked Chinese food much, oddly enough. Maybe it's too close to home food. But I eat a lot more of it in England. I really liked Korean at one time, but now I'm really sick of it.

When I was in Vietnam, I had pho, spring rolls and fried beef with onions every day. It's like they couldn't feed us with anything else, and we weren't a bunch of dumb tourists -we went there to trek and visit some villages in the mountain region. Sure, the food was really good at first, but after the 4th day of the same stuff everyone didn't think so anymore.

Problem with Japanese food is that so little of it is vegetarian....it's annoying cos the only meat they ever really eat is fish, and usually it's just hints of fish, like in udon (fish paste is an ingredient, no?). So it's like it's almost there which is annoying, just like they are with religion....

You've never heard of Wagyu beef?

It's Indonesian

The original Indonesian doesn't have peanut sauce, although Thai versions might not have it too.

 

[Arwon]

Well, I think it's slightly less exotic in Sydney than elsewhere in the white people world, but yes.

Part of that is just because Asian food is BETTER than what we used to eat.

Well, Anglo-Saxon food is pretty awful. Except some of the American variety such as buffalo wings and ribs

Living in a country of food lovers and a real food paradise, I got to say that though Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Indian are all great choices, authentic Thai food is simply delicious.
We do have a lot of hawker fare here and I can get a lunch meal for about US$3 freshly prepared by a Thai lady near my workplace. It's just great food. Even the standard dishes, Thai teachers prepared for us in rural Thailand were absolutely amazing. Of course, if you don't like spicy food, forget it.
