China
Chinese cuisine is deeply rooted in the country’s nature, history and traditions. In a sit-down meal, every individual is provided with a bowl of rice accompanied by many dishes featuring ingredients that harmoniously complement one another by combining flavors such as cold and hot, pickled and fresh and spicy and mild. These dishes are served to be shared and enjoyed family style.

Hong Kong
While perusing Hong Kong’s open-air markets, take in the aromas from the delicious dai pai dong - local food stalls. By cooking with woks over very high open-flame heat (otherwise known as Stir Fry), ingredients are quickly melded together, locking in their natural flavors. The result is a medley of tastes to be enjoyed in each dish.

Japan
Many traditional Japanese confectioneries are made with a sweet bean paste which is prepared from azuki beans. Sweets are confectioned in the shapes of flowers, birds, or other tiny animals, to depict Japan’s four seasons. These little works of art are not only beautiful to look at but are also very tasty.

Korea
Korean cuisine is famous for its use and variety of sauces. Nearly every dish is glazed with a sauce giving them extra flavor and color. Korean sauces are primarily based from soy sauce, soybean paste and red pepper paste, which are combined with fresh spices and condiments. Onions, garlic, scallions, ginger, sesame oil, crushed sesame salt and powdered red pepper are among the most popular spices in Korea.

Macau
Macau cuisine is based on a combination of Chinese and Portuguese cooking traditions, as well as African, Malay, Indian and Brazilian influences brought by merchants and immigrants. One can say that fusion cuisine was born in Macau when the Portuguese arrived in the 1500’s and brought recipes and spices from around the world.

Philippines
The Philippines' 7,107 islands are divided into at least 17 distinct regions that provide interesting variations in culinary renditions of seafood, fruits, vegetables, spices and meat abundant in the area. Infused with Malay, Chinese, Spanish and American influences, Philippine food is guaranteed to be a gastronomic delight even for the most discerning gourmet.

Thailand
Although considered a single cuisine, Thai dishes are different in each of the country’s four main regions: Northern, Northeastern, Central and Southern Thailand. The guiding principle of Thai cooking however is the same – cooking is harmony. Thai chefs use techniques that blend spicy, sweet and sour flavors that make Thai salads, fish, meat or poultry dishes a harmonious treat for the most demanding palate.
