Food is a passion with most of us. Apart from being one of the bare necessities of life, we all view food with a certain degree of indulgence. Which is why, each culture, people and even nation has such a wide variety of food and cuisine to pander to all kinds of tastes. Speaking for myself, I consider life itself a boundless opportunity to savor food and cuisine of various regions. While I?m no gourmand, I do enjoy a spirit of adventure when it comes to food from around the world. And Asian food, in all its hues and tastes, is a personal favorite.

If you were on the go and wanted a cup of coffee fifteen years ago, you?d either stop into a roadside diner for a cup of joe or toss down fifty cents for a Styrofoam cup of sludge from a gas station convenience store. Things have changed a lot, and the reign of Starbucks and the local coffee shop have gotten into full swing. On just about every corner you can find a coffee shop, chain or otherwise, selling lattes and mochas and all sorts of coffee-flavored drinks.
