Asian food has become popular all over the world, but it is, of course, best known by Asians themselves. Discover and savor the authentic flavors of this region with White on Rice Couple.
The blog was listed in an article on the 10 best Asian food blogs. It combines pretty good photography with links to recipes, allowing followers to try out a wide array of flavors right in their own kitchen.
The blog helps people discover there is more to Asian food than the typical sushi or chow mein noodles. The selections are diverse. From appetizers to desserts, from well known classics to Burmese specialties you’d never find in your usual takeout menu.
The writing won’t win awards but it does show a knowledge of Asian cuisine and an appreciation for the variety of influences. Some posts also show how traditional dishes have evolved, incorporating the ingredients and cooking techniques of other cultures. There are also examples of fusion cuisine.
The best part of the blog is the recipe links, which allow anyone to recreate the dishes in their kitchen — especially since many of the dishes will not be found in restaurants.
Obviously, the blogger has a mission to introduce Asian food to the world, and puts quite a bit of effort into selecting not just a variety of dishes but also those that may appeal to a wider audience.
The photos are quite pretty — a visual feast indeed. The food styling looks quite modern and break away from the typical Asian food presentation of ornate Chinese plates (or styrofoam takeout boxes).
