Also, been traveling for the past 5 months through Europe and Asia for the last 3 of them. Been to China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia.
China was very interesting, a lot of dim sum, hot pot, incredible dishes in Sichuan, we also cooked an Italian meal for a Chinese family, but they seemed more interested in streaming the dinner live on WeChat than the food itself. We went to Tibet, where the food is completely different and more based on nonadic/herdsman staples, including yak milk/butter and meat.
Vietnam cuisine and their herbs are astonishing, with many nationwide dishes alongside several highly local and delicious ones.
Cambodia cuisine is not really famous, but was impressed by some of their dishes (the few ones that had neither Thai nor Vietnamese clear stamp behind them).
Malaysia is highly praised for its food, although I struggled to find its real Malay identity aside for few dishes, everything else seemed very Chinese or Indian.
