What is "Fusion" Cooking? In particularly "Asian Fusion"?

You’re equating “Asian” with “Chinese.” Asia also includes Japan, Korea, Thailand, India, Vietnam, etc., each with its own cuisine (or cuisines) and cooking styles. Chinese/Japanese and Chinese/Japanese/Thai fusion restaurants have been around for a while. Though I’ve yet to try it, Chinese/Indian Asian fusion restaurants are becoming popular in my area. Apparently, traditional Chinese dishes cooked Indian style are quite different from what I’m used to, or so I’ve been told.

I once drove past a restaurant that billed itself as “Japanese/Italian fusion.” That got me very curious, but the next time I drove through that area, it was gone.
