Most people cannot tell you the difference in Chinese, Japanese and Thai types of cuisine. It is not hard to understand why as these are all Asian foods and have a lot of the main ingredients in common. After reading this article you will find it very easy to tell the difference in all three of these wonderful, fine cuisines.
A real quick way to tell these apart is to look at the spice aspect of all three. Japanese cuisine tends to be sweet, whereas Chinese food tends to be more in the middle of sweet and spicy. Then you have Thai food, which has a very spicy flavor. Let us take a better look at all three of these types of foods.
Japanese cuisines tend to have a very fresh look and taste to them. This style of food originates in Japan. When you go to a fine Japanese restaurant you can expect to have things such as sushi, and also teriyaki chicken. If you find yourself eating an Asian style dish that has a spicy kick, chances are you are eating Thai food.
Thai food originates in Thailand. This style of cuisine tends to be on the spicy side of things. You will find your green, yellow and red curry dishes in this category of Asian food. When we look at Chinese food, of course, from China, we will see a combination of all sorts of Asian foods. The main thing to look for with Chinese cuisine is the happy medium. These foods tend to be not so raw such as the ones you will find in Japanese cuisine. They will also tend not to have such a spicy kick as compared to what you will find in cuisines that are Thai in nature.
When choosing what style of Asian food in College Park you would like to eat, think of these few questions. Do you and the people in your party want sweet and fresh, spicy and hot, or something in the middle? Keep in mind that the all you can eat Chinese buffets will tend to have a mixture of all kinds of Asian food and makes a great way to experience the different tastes of fine Asian cuisine.
