I was thinking the other day about exotic cuisines, and which I like best.
Now this is just a general list, based on my own recent experience.
Also, just because something is low on the list, doesn’t mean I don’t like it.
- Thai
- Vietnamese
- Japanese
- Indian
- American (Western)
- Mexican
- Chinese
Maybe it’s just the places I’ve been, but Chinese food tends to be greasy and sugary, dripping in thick sauces. I still like it, but prefer the lightness of Japanese or spiciness of Thai or Vietnamese.
Coincidentally, I just found out that Bamboo Hut, a great Vietnamese place nearby which I was told was closed… has been open all this time! I was misinformed! All this time, and I could have gone. Definitely have to go there sometime soon.
We need to go have more beef jerkey salad! YUM!
I also like all of those types of food.
Vietnamese is pretty light too, if you get some of their wrap type thingies (not sure of the name, but they are like veggies in a wrap with sauce.) and Vietnamese coffee. YUM.
Oh and we totally have to try a Saigon Sandwich sometime….just to see what the heck that entails.
World Cuisine
Chinese food in China is excellent. In the 3 weeks I was there, not one bad meal!!!
But Chinese food in the US, blech!
