Aujourd'hui on utilise cette formule de façon allusive à propos de toute chose considérée comme exotique ou provenant d'Asie; on pourra dire par exemple the new restaurant offers a menu full of Eastern promise with the emphasis on Chinese-influenced food ("ce nouveau restaurant propose un menu plein des saveurs de l'Orient avec une forte influence chinoise").
