It's the holiday season once again, and you know what that means-- parties everywhere. But admit it, parties can be a little bland if not done right. You have to spice things up with a little variety.

Experimenting with different tastes and cultures is one way to amp up your party. Cue fusion cuisine. Preparing fusion cuisine can be really tricky, especially if your taste buds have already adapted to your usual home-cooked meals, but it sure is fun to be creative once in a while. The idea is to take a common home-cooked meal and then add elements from a different cuisine. You may also take inspiration from the fine gourmet crafts of Thomas Olivers, available for catering.

In this list, we are featuring Asian Fusion food choices that your guests will surely love!
