I'm sure that it was only an attempt of fusion cuisine!. i am not a big fan of fusion, to me it seems to be a mixture of ideas and ingredients without having the soul of any cuisine!. As far as I know, there is no such thing as Asian Salsa as such!. Here we make a type of fresh sambal, (it contains small bird chilli, tomato, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar!.) and it is very delicious served with fresh raw prawns or barbecued pork cheek!.

Titoki T, you have no knowledge of Asia or Asian People, people here have many skills and talents!.

lol
I'm Mexican American and I think I know what you mean!. I live with Vietnamese and Korean girls, and I've had the pleasure of trying their food, plus I love Thai food!!! I think what you mean is why is their spicy food different than Mexican spicy foods!?
It's hard to explain but it's more of how it's spicy!. Asian spicy food tends to be a sort of 'throat spiciness' if you will, it's more spicy after you swallow, where as Mexican spicy food is more instant and on your tongue!. Try Sriracha hot chili sauce, I dont think it's as good as Mexican salsa but it tastes really good with noodles!!!!
Hope this helps some!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm pretty familiar with all types of Asian cuisine, but I've never heard of any kind of Asian salsa!. What were they serving it with!? Did they call it Asian salsa!? If it was called Asian salsa its probably just the restaurant trying some Asian-Mexican fusion dish and apparently they didn't do a very good job at it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No never heard of asian salsa, pretty sure there is no such thing so must have been a bad idea specific to the place you found it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is no such thing as SALSA in Asian cuisine!
Are you talking about chili paste or sambal perhaps!. Sambal is YUMMY!
But it is NOT Salsa!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
