EXOTIC
KITCHENS
What exotic kitchens taste like?
KITCHEN
EXOTIC -
CHARACTE
EXOTIC KITCHENS COMBINES THE

RISTICS
CULINARY TRADITIONS OF DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES. FOR POLES, EXOTIC
COUNTRIES WILL BE GEOGRAPHICALLY
AND CULTURALLY DISTANT COUNTRIES.
THEREFORE, WE CAN CONSIDER CHINESE,
JAPANESE, THAI, INDIAN, INDONESIAN,
CUBAN AND TURKISH AS EXOTIC KITCHENS.
IT IS RATHER IN VAIN TO LOOK FOR YOUNG
POTATOES WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND
PORK CHOPS, BROTH OR CUCUMBER.
LAOS - LAO
CUISINE
THEY SAY THAI CUISINE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE YOU MORE ABOUT
THE CUISINE OF THE LAOS BORDERING THAILAND.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAO AND THAI
CUISINE? IN A NUTSHELL AND WITH A PINCH OF SALT -
WHEN SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A SECRET THINKS THAT A
DISH ALREADY HAS A LOT OF SUGAR AND THE TAJ CHILI
IS JUST STARTING TO ADD THEM. LAO CUISINE HAS A
MUCH MORE HERBAL CHARACTER AND AN
ACCEPTABLE SUGAR LEVEL ;-).

THE BASIS OF THIS KITCHEN IS STICKY RICE, WHICH IS

SERVED IN SPECIAL BASKETS AND EATEN WITH YOUR
HANDS. DIPPED IN A VARIETY OF SAUCES IS DELICIOUS.
PERU -
PERUVIAN
CUISINE
PERUVIAN CUISINE IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE
MOST INTERESTING AND VARIED CUISINES OF LATIN
AMERICA. AND FOR GOOD REASON. WHILE IN MANY
OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES WE ONLY GET
RICE WITH A PIECE OF MEAT OR CHICKEN FOR
DINNER, IN PERU WE WILL HAVE A MUCH WIDER
CHOICE. IN ADDITION, THE FOOD IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT IN EACH REGION. THE COAST IS
DOMINATED BY FISH AND SEAFOOD, IN THE
MOUNTAINS MORE MEAT AND POTATOES ARE EATEN,
RIVER FISH AND FRIED PLANE TREES ARE POPULAR IN
THE AMAZON REGION. UNFORTUNATELY, AS IN OTHER
LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES, PERU ALSO EATS A LOT
OF RICE, WHICH ACCOMPANIES ALMOST EVERY DISH.
UZBEKISTA
N - CUISINE
A CULINARY TRIP AROUND UZBEKISTAN IS
AN EXPERIENCE ALMOST AS ATTRACTIVE
AS THE HISTORIC CITIES OF THE SILK
ROAD, OR A VISIT TO THE DRY SHORES OF
THE ARAL LAKE. IT MUST BE ADMITTED,
HOWEVER, THAT UZBEK CUISINE IS QUITE
HEAVY AND GREASY, LARGELY BASED ON
GRILLED MEATS (MUTTON, OF COURSE,
REIGNS SUPREME). IT IS DOMINATED BY
ARAB, TURKISH AND EVEN TATAR
INFLUENCES.
SINGAPORE
- CUISINE
SINGAPORE IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD
FOR LOVERS OF ASIAN CUISINE - DUE TO THE LARGE CULTURAL
MIX, WE CAN FIND HERE IN LARGE NUMBERS CHINESE, INDIAN,
THAI RESTAURANTS, AS WELL AS SERVING DISHES FROM ALL
POSSIBLE OTHER ASIAN COUNTRIES.

ITS INHABITANTS LOVE TO EAT, USUALLY EATING OUT - THERE

ARE PLENTY OF SO-CALLED "FOODCOURTS" (CANTEENS,
CANTEENS), WHERE THE CHOICE OF DISHES IS SUCH THAT EATING
EVERY DAY FROM A DIFFERENT STAND, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO TRY THEM ALL IN A YEAR. THERE ARE LONG LINES TO THE
BEST STANDS. IN ADDITION, THE FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE ALLOWS
YOU TO CELEBRATE OUTDOOR MEALS THERE ALL YEAR ROUND.
IT'S NO WONDER THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO COOK AT HOME -
THE PRICES OF MEALS AT FOOD COURTS ARE VERY LOW,
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE EARNINGS IN THIS CITY-STATE.
WE WILL EAT A HEARTY MEAL THERE FOR 3-4 SINGAPORE
DOLLARS (I.E. SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 3-4 USD).
JAPAN -
SUSHI -
CUISINE
IN MY CULINARY TRAVELS I AM LOOKING NOT ONLY FOR TASTY
DISHES, BUT MOST OF ALL I AM LOOKING FOR UNIQUE AND
INTERESTING GASTRONOMIC HABITS. THEREFORE, MY
CULINARY EXPECTATIONS ARE FULLY SATISFIED BY JAPAN.
JAPANESE CUISINE IS FAMOUS FOR SIMPLE BUT HIGH-QUALITY
DISHES AND EXCEPTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE WAYS OF SERVING
THEM. I LIKE SUSHI AND OKONOMIYAKI THE MOST OF THE
GREATNESS OF THE LOCAL CUISINE. WHEN IT COMES TO SUSHI, I
PREFER THE CLASSIC FISH NIGIRI. IN THIS TYPE OF SUSHI, THE
RICE IS SHAPED IN THE FINGERS AND TAKES AN OBLONG, OVAL
SHAPE. LATER, JAPANESE WASABI HORSERADISH IS ADDED, ON
WHICH ONE PIECE OF RAW OR SMOKED FISH IS PLACED. I AM A
GREAT ENTHUSIAST OF TUNA NIGIRI. I AM PARTICULARLY
DELIGHTED WITH THE MELTING TUNA OTORO IN MY MOUTH. IT
IS THE FATEST BELLY PIECE OF BLUEFIN TUNA. AND THAT'S THE
BEST OTORO SUSHI YOU CAN TRY AT THE TOKYO TSUKIJI FISH
MARKET.
VIETNAME
SE -
CUISINE
VIETNAMESE CUISINE CANNOT LACK STICKY RICE. IT
IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS IN
MOST DISHES. THE VIETNAMESE PREPARE IT IN
COUNTLESS WAYS, OBTAINING COMBINATIONS THAT
DELIGHT THE PALATE. MOST OF THE DISHES ALSO
INCLUDE FRESH HERBS, MOSTLY CORIANDER,
VIETNAMESE MINT AND THAI BASIL. FISH SAUCE
OCCUPIES AN ALMOST HONORABLE PLACE IN THE
KITCHEN - IT IS USED TO SEASON SOUPS, MEAT AND
VEGETABLES.

THE VIETNAMESE ALSO LIKE SPINACH, PICKLED FRUIT

AND VEGETABLES, SEAFOOD, LEMONGRASS AND MUN
MUSHROOMS. DISHES ARE OFTEN SEASONED WITH
LIME JUICE, LEMONGRASS AND SUGAR CANE JUICE,
WHICH IS ALSO SERVED AS A STANDALONE DRINK.
AFRICAN -
CUISINE
AFRICAN CUISINE IS NOT WELL KNOWN TO POLES. EUROPE'S
SOUTHERN NEIGHBOR IS ASSOCIATED MORE WITH KILIMANJARO,
SAFARIS, WILD GAME AND FAMOUS HOLIDAY RESORTS IN THE
NORTH OF THE COUNTRY THAN WITH ITS CULINARY TRADITIONS.
AFRICAN DISHES HAVE NOT CONQUERED THE WORLD LIKE
ITALIAN CUISINE AND ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH STYLE LIKE
FRENCH CUISINE. DESPITE THIS, THEY CAN CERTAINLY SURPRISE
AND CHARM, AND THEIR GREATEST ADVANTAGE IS THE GREAT
VARIETY. HOWEVER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY DESCRIBE THE
CUISINE OF THE ENTIRE CONTINENT. THERE ARE 54 COUNTRIES IN
ITS AREA, AND EACH IS CHARACTERIZED BY A DIFFERENT
TRADITION AND CULTURE, AND THUS - NATIONAL CUISINE. WHAT
DO THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON? CERTAINLY, EVERY AFRICAN
RESTAURANT FOCUSES ON HEALTHY, RICH IN INGREDIENTS
DISHES, BASED ON NATURAL PRODUCTS SUCH AS VEGETABLES,
FRUIT AND MEAT. TO PUT IT SIMPLY, CULINARY AFRICA CAN BE
DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS: NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN.
MEXICAN -
CUISINE
MEXICAN CUISINE - THE CULINARY ART OF MEXICO
AND ITS SURROUNDINGS, COMBINING THE
TRADITIONS OF INDIGENOUS INDIANS AND THE
INFLUENCES OF THE CONQUISTADORS. IT IS MAINLY
BASED ON MAIZE AND LEGUMES (AROUND 20
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF BEANS) AND DIFFERENT
VARIETIES OF CHILI PEPPERS.

MEXICAN CUISINE IS DIVIDED DUE TO ITS REGIONAL

DIVERSITY, I.E. NORTHERN, WESTERN, GULF REGION,
AS WELL AS FROM CENTRAL AREAS, WHERE THE
CUISINE FROM BAJIO, AGUASCALIENTES,
MICHOACAN AND TLAXCALI CUISINE ARE
DISTINGUISHED.
