You can absolutely adore Asia’s various cuisines, but there still comes a point where you just want to eat something that doesn’t come with rice.
The most satisfying meal I ever had came from a restaurant I can’t even remember the name of. It was an overpriced burger from a characterless place serving ‘international’ cuisine in a Bangkok mall, and I’ve never eaten anything so happily.meal I’ve ever eaten. In fact, by any reasonable standards it was merely brushing mediocre. But, gosh, was it needed.
Rice, more so than bread, pasta, corn or potato, has developed over the centuries into the world’s great staple. It goes with most things, and can be dressed up to have flavour, but is largely content to provide an accompaniment that doesn’t overpower the main act. But, alas, when rice comes with every meal for a fortnight, you can get heartily sick of it. Rice fatigue sets in, and suddenly the allure of eating magically authentic dishes in their place of origin evaporates. Instead, the cravings for a dirty burger, or a merely average pizza, or literally anything with fries, pound away at the brain like an orchestra made entirely of booming timpani.
