Over the past 15 plus years or so I have been traveling extensively to Thailand and Hong Kong. I don’t recognise the article’s conclusion, in that over those years generally food hasn’t become sweeter to my taste. I typically visit local places, not hotel restaurants and such.
I don’t often eat Asian food outside of Asia. But as it happens I was in London a few weeks ago, having dinner at the 1 star michelin Indian restaurant Jamavar. I had a lovely prawn curry, which also wasn’t sweet but very well balanced.
In Asia, I’ve only been to Malaysia once and found the food there noticeably sweeter than in other Asian countries. But that’s just the local taste I guess.
