Asia is a dining destination on par with Europe, judged by the number of international accolades its restaurants and bars have earned, a new report on food industry trends says.
Luxury Group, the collective of high-end hotels within the Marriott International portfolio, recently launched its Future of Food report for the Asia-Pacific (Apac) region. The report summarises the views of professionals in hospitality and other industries.
According to the report, one of the most significant developments is that Apac is no longer seen as an “emerging” dining destination. Rather, it has risen to be on par with Europe, going by the number of international awards organisations such as the Michelin Guide and World’s 50 Best Restaurants have bestowed on bars and restaurants in the region.
While cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong have long been seen as centres of gastronomy, the report identified emerging culinary destinations in the region including Bali, Indonesia, Busan and Jeju in South Korea, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur, Manila in the Philippines, Mumbai, India, Niseko, Japan, Shanghai, China and Tasmania, Australia.

The report highlights nine other key trends, including the redefinition of fine dining, the revival of forgotten ingredients and traditions, conscious cuisines, sustainability, wellness, the increasing role of bars, the role of technology, and sensory dining.
The trend towards sustainability has several facets, among them demand for organic ingredients being replaced by that for biodynamic ingredients as farming is being viewed more holistically rather than being defined by just the use of pesticides or not.
