The food culture of Southeast Asian countries is slightly different due to regional relations, mainly sour, spicy, barbecue and frying, with more emphasis on taste.
Vietnamese cuisine: Compared with other Southeast Asian cuisines, Vietnamese cuisine has a refreshing and smooth taste. It is most influenced by Chinese food and French food, and it combines Chinese and western food cultures. Its cooking is refreshing and original, and it is mainly cooked, grilled, braised and cold. There are few speculators in hot oil pan, and its taste is sweet and sour with a little spicy. Pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, scallops and various seafood are the main ingredients, while duck and mutton are relatively rare. The proportion of vegetables added in cooking is high.
Thai cuisine: Due to the dual influence of China culture and Indian culture, Thailand has developed a distinctive food culture. Thai cuisine stands proudly among the cuisines of Southeast Asian countries with its fresh, sour and delicious taste. Because of their Buddhist background, Thais avoid using large pieces of animal meat. They tend to chop up large pieces of meat and mix them with herbs and spices. Traditional cooking methods in Thailand are steaming, baking or barbecue. Thai people like to eat lard cake, sweet bread, sardines, western snacks and toast fried eggs for breakfast. Rice is the staple food in daily life, and I like to eat fish, but I don't eat seafood.
malaysian cuisine: Nyonya culture is not only a historical culture, but also a food culture. Nyonya cuisine combines the flavors of Chinese cuisine and Southeast Asian cuisine, and is very popular in Malaysia, such as pig's trotters with sweet sauce, fried pork slices and stewed pork with bamboo shoots. People who like desserts can also find the special desserts of Nyonya in Nyonya cuisine. Niangjia Melaleuca Cake, Niangjia Sucrose Coconut Banji, Banana Coconut Budian, Rainbow Cake, Niangjia Soft Cake and Coconut Glutinous Rice Cake are all traditional Niangjia sweets. Because of geography, in the past, ships from the Middle East, India and China had to pass through the Straits of Malacca. Southeast Asian countries became the only way, and naturally became the meeting point. Businessmen from all countries would stay here and even live here forever. This area was once a colony of western countries.
Indochina Peninsula is named because it is south of China. The northern part of Indo-China Peninsula is connected with the mountains and rivers of China. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the mountains and rivers extend from north to south, forming a surface form with alternating mountains and rivers and vertical distribution.
Most rivers originate in the southwest of China, and the upper reaches rush among the mountains, with fast-flowing water and rich hydraulic resources. The downstream river channel widens, the water flow slows down, and sediment deposits, forming a vast alluvial plain and delta. Plain and delta areas are densely populated and have a long history of development, and are important agricultural areas in Southeast Asia.
