GOURMET

Hot 3635 views. 2015-12-14 12:19

I like travelling abroad, not only being obsessed with beautiful views and adventures, but also gourmet. Speaking of delicacy, I can not help  priding our food. No matter where I have been, I could easily find a decent Chinese restaurant nearby. So, yes, Chinese restaurants do distribute all over the world. The most popular Chinese food oversea should be Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Hot Pot, Egg Roll, ect.. I believe all Chinese people here cann't be more familiar with Chinese cuisine, so I decide to drop it and talk more about exotic food.

 
My favorite Korean dishes would be Kimchee and Korean Rice Cake. Kimchee is made of Napa marinading with salt, red chilli pepper, fish sauce, salty tiny shrimp, and so on. It tasts sour, spicy, and refreshing. Kimchee can be served any time during a meal and it goes with any other dishes.

Korean Rice Cake is a simple dish. Rice cake is sauted with special red chilli paste. The reddish looking is so attractive. Sticky texture of the rice cake and the peppery tast make it smell good and tast amazing.

The representative of Japanese food  is Sushi. It looks simple and easy to make, but it is so expensive. Sushi rice is a special kind of rice. It has to be sticky but cannot be too sticky. Cool down the steamed rice and stire it with Mirin and sushi vinegar, then you can wrap the rice with dried seaweed sheet and stuffed with mayonnaise, avocado, cucumber, shrimp, crab meat, tuna, salmon, caviar etc., whatever you like. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So you can totally make it by your own, just one thing you have to keep in mind is that all the seafood has to be sushi-graded, otherwise it will tast yukky. The best Sushi I had was flavered rice wrapped by sashimi, and served with special house-made dipping sauce. Miso soup is famous too, but I myself am not a fan of it.

When coming to Thai food, the first thing popping in my head is coconut cream soup,though a lot of people like Tom Yum soup. Thailand abounds in coconuts, so they have the best coconut milk in the world. Coconut cream soup is creamy and tasty rather than greasy.

My second favorite Thai dish is Curry Chicken. they have red curry, green curry , yellow curry, etc.. Red curry is hot, green curry is mild, yellow curry falls in bewteen. Usually, restaurants would use different curry paste according to customers' preference. I like hot, so most of time I choose red curry. 

Vietnamese dishes are similar with Thai dishes. Fresh lime juice and crushed lemongrass are commonly used seasonings. Vietnamese people like using herb to flavor their dishes, like mint, purple perilla, basil, etc.. Fish sauce is an essential condiment for their dishes. The dishes of Vitnam I miss the most are Beef Pho Noodle Soup and Rice Dumpling. 

 

Stress fills in our lives. Tasty food can help us relieve the pressure. In fact, we can be satisfied by many different ways. Trying new things is one of them and can colour our insipid routine lives and broaden our horizons.

Wow, you should open your own international food restaurant. You can also become a food critic or connoisseur. My residing city Hong Kong is an international tourist center and food paradise, so I have the chance to taste all the worlds tastiest and fine food. My favorite is still Asian food including Chinese and particularly Cantonese food.

I am not particularly fond of Japanese food because of it's uncooked meat and the food lack the deep flavor and taste which I like. Korean Kimchee is exciting but don't know why after eating that my eyes water like a crying baby, but I still eat it anyway. Korean barbecue is a good choice too. Thai food is my favorite and the Thai curry you mentioned is wonderful. There are also different types of tasty Thai food available from the local food shops in Thailand which are not seen in the big Thai restaurants so next time you are in Thailand be brave an try it. Another is Mexican food and a must try if you go to California or Mexico. One of the biggest attractions of travel is the local cuisine which allows you to understand more about the culture and lifestyle of locals. Life is short, we should live it to the best, travel and taste the world when you have the chance.
