Chinese cuisine has had a deep impact on culinary traditions in Southeast Asia, where the lack of certain ingredients and access to new ingredients along with the culinary knowledge of local people led Chinese migrants to modify traditional dishes and to invent new foods. This process brought the cuisine of southern China, considered by some writers to be ""the finest in the world,"" into contact with a wide range of local and global cuisine's and ingredients. When Chinese from Southeast Asia moved on to other parts of the world, they brought these variants of Chinese food with them, completing a cycle of culinary reproduction, localisation and invention, and globalisation. The process does not end there, for the new context offers yet another set of ingredients and culinary traditions, and the ""embedding and fusing of foods"" continues, creating additional hybrid forms.
