That's cos true Asian recipes are made from the heart (plus family secrets!) In other words no need to be hygienic, balanced, nutritious etc.. just as long as it tastes good. Of course I'm being extremely general here, there are healthy options of course, but the best foods I find are cooked for long times (eg. bamboo steaming, stewing), cooked with the finest oils (ie. animal fats), or made up of a whole range of custom-prepared items you wouldn't find in your local store anyway (eg. specially fried morsels).
I'm talking about some of the finest Malaysian food for the most part here: Rojak, Kon-loh mee, Hokkien Fried, Chicken Rice, Char Kuey Teow etc. etc. Other cultures use similar cooking principles however.
