London is now home to a multi-ethnic populace that has spiced its culture, cuisine, festivals, music and architecture. Luxury dining in London will invariably encompass an Asian culinary masterpiece or some exotic creation inspired from the very far corners of the earth. Asian cuisine has been welcomed by many western enthusiasts and has gained much prominence in the contemporary dining culture of London.

The cooking methods and spices used in Asian cuisine are very much the defining characteristic of its dishes, whether it’s chilli hot or comparatively bland. The allure of Asian cuisine is undeniable. This art of cooking is a marriage of tradition and incorporates recipes that have been passed down through centuries using the very basic ingredients and produced with heart and soul – a labour of love.

Asian cuisine can be broadly categorised into five, although much of the recipes and styles in place today have also incorporated colonial influences that were grasped during periods of occupation. Food that is called East Asian is usually the reference given to culinary delights that come from vast China. Southeast Asian cooking is those creations from countries such as Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines. South Asian food is those culinary delights from Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Burma.
