Fusion

Many people ask, what exactly is fusion food?
Its actually simple... most of what we eat these days are fusion food, except for traditional cooking of course.

Did you know that Italian pasta is actually some form of fusion?
Answer: The idea of the Italian spaghetti is actually noodles, that originated from China. The concept of the noodle was imported from China to Italy and that was when spaghetti was made. (I am not referring to other types of pasta like the rotini or shell pasta, etc.)

Anyway, my aim is not only to simply cook traditional food or simplistic food that reflect one culture, but one of my many goals is also to cook fusion food to represent an array of cultures.

Fusion may be different and daring, but hey, we all must take that one daring step to explore what's beyond us! That step for me, is to explore different ways, techniques or tastes of different foods and combine them to come up with something new and exciting!
