It's long overdue to start digesting my culinary experiences in Asia in 2018. Last year I was lucky enough to visit China, Korea and Japan in one go. This happened to be the perfect opportunity to compare these amazing food cultures. So, the first thing I want to share with you is a reflection on taste and the composition of meals.
