In today’s connected world, we are given so many opportunities to experiment with ethnic flavours, street food inspired dishes, as well as reviving culinary classics with added contemporary twists. Although Asian cuisine and flavours have dominated the street food revolution, we’re now seeing influences from all corners of the world, from the sweet and smokey flavours of American BBQ to spicy Jamaican jerk.
