The Asian food increasingly popular

The Asian food increasingly popular

A recent study* demonstrates that food and flavors of the East Asia and South-East occupy an increasingly important place on the menus of Canada restaurants. The increase is mainly Thai, who managed to sneak just behind the Chinese and Japanese dishes. Are you one of those who have recently succumbed to these "Thai" dishes?

Also, according to the study, you are still likely to order Chinese food. We're talking about once every three months! The popularity of Chinese buffets is probably one of the main reasons.

Another dish that emerged from obscurity a few years ago, sushi, follows right behind, in front of Thai dishes. You must live under a rock not to have noticed the proliferation of sushi counters in supermarkets or specialized restaurants.

Many of you enjoy and search for Asian cuisine because of the abundant use of fresh vegetables. The bold flavors that then arise are also a reason.

Answer in the comments below: which styl are you? Chinese, sushi or Thai?
