Asian Food Garnishing

      Whenever I order sushi at an Asian restaurant I always notice the intricate, detailed flowers they make out of radishes, or the fresh banana leaves they place the sushi on. These delicate garnishes help make the food look more appealing, and I honestly believe that it makes the food taste better.

    According to http://johnpoon.org/garnishes.html to have excellent Chinese food, presentation ranks #1, followed by fragrance and taste. You might think that it doesn't make a lot of sense but after thinking about it, it does! Nobody wants to eat food that looks unappetizing or smells like stinky feet. They want something that looks beautiful on their plate, and smells so good it makes their stomach growl.
      Sometimes the presentation of food determines whether or not a 3 year old will eat his veggies. You might have to force him to eat it, unless the veggies are put into the shape of a smiley face. Presentation matters to people even if they don't think it does.
       If you're looking to have a great Asian meal I definitely recommend checking out Sushi House. To see the website click here: http://www.sushihousemenu.com/ . They have dozens of different sushi's and great appetizers. One of their sushi specials is a wooden boat full of sushi. I'm too scared to try it because I've never had raw sushi before but, whenever I see the servers bring it out it looks amazing. If you ask me, presentation is a very important thing. It can make or break your meal choice. I've even seen people lean over to a table next to them, just to ask the people what they got, so they could order it themselves.
    At sushi house they also have a lot of vegan/plant-based options. One thing my mom likes to get is the cucumber salad. Imagine holding a toothpick in your hand. Well that's about how small they cut the cucumbers. I don't know how they do it but, they do! They take these tiny little shreds and put them in an Asian vinegar mixture and serve this in a small bowl. Of course, the proper way to eat this is with chop sticks but, if you don't have enough patience you can ask for a fork.
    Sometimes after our meal they bring out a plate full of flowers made from oranges. I think it's one of the most beautiful things they make there. The sushi chefs are some of the most talented artists around. They could make even the most disgusting food on the planet look appetizing.
