#45 Asian Fusion Food
January 31, 2008 by mylosh
While white people enjoy venturing to ethnic parts of town to satisfy their pallette, most would prefer to take their first dates and parents to a place with dimmer lights, less water tanks with crabs and lobsters wishing that they would die, less ducks hanging from the window and table cloths that aren’t plastic sheets. Some people caught on to this and decided to open Fusion Asian restaurants. These people are now very rich
Fusion restaurants offer a mix of all Asian foods (except Indian, but most don’t know that India is part of Asia) in an atmosphere that resembles a cocktail lounge in the West Village as opposed to Hong Kong. Basically you can eat exotic, in comfortable surroundings. Many are not shy to admit that the food is subpar and overpriced, but they still line up for hours to get in because they love the decor and the mix drinks. These places often have names with no Asian words or characters in them and are limited to two syllables. ie) Ginger, Spring Rolls, Wild Rice, Sumile. Sometimes the names are really clever like “Asiate”, get it?

[...] also added a smorgasbord of stuff white people like: “honey mustard grilled wild salmon, apricot chipotle glazed wild salmon, coconut curry [...]
can someone explain to me the joke?
I make it my business to eat at every restaurant in the greater California area, and I must say one Asian restaurant trumps all others: Fat’s Asia Bistro. Located in Roseville and Folsom, CA, Fat’s is the most authentic and quality restaurant in the state. If you love your body; if you love your food: eat at Fat’s.
i agree. good restaurant.
I loved looking at those fish tanks when I was a kid. I still think those hanging ducks look delicious; I get hungry just looking at them.
I’d rather go to my neighborhood pho place with plastic tablecloths, chopstick holders, and tendon and tripe on the menu than a pretentious “Asian Fusion” place.
White people also get excited just eating plain rice with soy sauce using chopsticks. They think that they’re having a cultural experiance.
Isn’t pallette spelled palate? I know I may be hitting on the white people love grammar thing, but I’m honestly curious about this. Not sure which spelling is correct. I was hoping some whitie could help me out.
depends.. collor pallette? or palate as in what rules your taste? =)
Only pommies love and call Indian food theirs..I personally love RICE…
