The result is a wave of elevated yet unpretentious dining &#8211; from caviar-topped fried chicken to \u00e0 la carte menus that prioritise choice, flexibility and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAcross Asia, a new culinary language is emerging, one where quality meets comfort, luxury meets experience, and a meal is no longer just about eating, but about engaging all the senses,\u201d Raba said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift extends beyond what\u2019s on the plate. Nearly half (48%) of Marriott\u2019s F&amp;B associates report that guests are seeking more interactive, sensory dining experiences &#8211; from themed environments to omakase-style storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs our report shows, food is no longer just fuel; it\u2019s a form of storytelling, identity, and cultural connection,\u201d Raba added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fine dining is losing its formality in Asia Pacific as diners trade white tablecloths for comfort, creativity and connection, according to Marriott International\u2019s new report, The Future of Food 2026.
