I think it's about selecting things you might like .. you'd probably like these wraps if they were on the menu .. steamed sea bass is wonderful! Broth soups too. A lot of the food doesn't have much in the way of spices .. and has no heat from them, more fragrance. They use cornflour as a thickener which is GF. The USA has a bigger GF lobby than here, and Asian food is one of those often recommended by GF groups. And as Lucy says, it can be very light.
I remember spending years saying "No olives for me thanks" and removing them from any dish served with them. Then one day I tried an olive again .. it was marvellous, and I wondered when my palate might have started to appreciate them .. and how many I'd missed out on!!
