Tastiness is important, but also food safety and quality ingredients. For that reason alone--despite Pearl Harbor, Unit 731, and anime--the answer must be our weeaboo darling, dearest Nippon. "Made in Japan" is pretty much the only unsullied label at this point. They may not have the flavours of Thai curry or the spiciness of Szechuan chili oil, but you know that you won't be getting a melamine surprise.

There's a lot of really good Cantonese food that's super easy to prepare without exotic ingredients and are super delicious.
I know weebs and kpop faggots are inclined to insist that Japan/Korea have the best food but Korea is all fucking stews and BBQ (which are good but nothing near amazing best ever shit) and Japan has some really good staple dishes and a bunch of mediocre shit.

Thailand’s my #1, each dish has a unique zing and flavor. I’m not just talking about pad thai and curry—you’re really missing out if you’ve never been to Bangkok or Chiangmai.

I’m obviously biased though since I’m half-Thai. Pic is from my most recent visit—there’s grilled beef shank, stewed chicken, a herbal soup with bamboo shoots and wild mountain greens, and someone randomly brought their iced coffee into the picture without me realizing it until just now. Not shown are the baskets of steaming hot glutinous rice, the preference of the northern regions.

>China
Most variety of food, and generally at least pretty good, you could write an entire post about each region, highlights are Sichuanese, Cantonese and Jiangnan
Shandong and Western/Muslim chinese cooking are highly underrated though, they tend to be more starchy and hardy than southern cuisine, and use more bread, pic related was the best meal I had in Shandong.
There were alot of things that wowed me, but the best unironically was Peking Duck, shit was so fucking good

>Korea
Pretty decent, not much variety, definitely a very unique flavor profile (ssamjang, gochugaru, kimchi, etc) if you lived in Korea for a while it's definitely more like comfort food, stuff that developed from what poorer farmers ate
Drinking with alcohol is alot more common, and actually makes it tastier, korean alcohol culture is very very well developed, they have like a million games, different cocktails and names for different shit
Highlights for me were Doeji Gukbap, Jeju Black Pork, Marinated Galbi and Kong Guksu,
nothing really wowed me though

>Mongolia
I can't say much as I only tried it a few times in Korea, but the places seemed legit.
Generally, not much use of spices or seasoning, lots of meat and milk, much more hearty
Despite that it's actually pretty good, Khuushuur is pretty good, milk tea dumplings were interesting, it's not high cuisine but it's the ideal meal for a cold winter day

I'd definitely put Thai food up there. Southeast Asia in general I find to be more interesting than Chinese food, even Japanese food to a degree. Japanese food is really good, but Southeast Asian is nice because you do get some of that Indian influence with curries and hot peppers.

I'd probably put Vietnamese cuisine up there with Japanese and Thai, not just for the Bahn Mi, but also for Pho which I think is the best kind of Asian soup dish

I like Japanese curry, but more as comfort food (I use Golden Curry roux). I think it’s a lot easier to prepare than other curries—you’re working with a block of roux and water instead of herbs, curry paste and coconut milk. Plus you can toss in whatever root vegetables and protein you have lying around, and it’s fun adding off-beat sweeteners like apples, chocolate, honey, etc.

In general, though, in response to all the weebs in the thread, I think Japanese food is pretty light, and it purposefully lacks complexity. They’ve got an awesome culture of building up masters of one specific dish, the focus on tradition and etiquette is seriously impressive. But at the end of the day, Japan likes its rice plain. While China spergs out about wok hei and gets its mitts on literally everything it can use as an ingredient, Japan’s version of a wild time is pouring tea over rice. It’s a difference in values, and the “cleanliness” of the Japanese palate (plus heavy Western influences) is probably why it’s so highly valued by us Americans.
