Asian ERA |OT| We don't AGE
- Thread starter Pet
- Start date
About to head out for the night. Date night! This weekend is gonna be studying and chores though. I changed one of my classes to P/NP earlier today, so I'm feeling a bit better than Thursday.
I know people said the title was really clever, but it just hit me what it really meant! Great job, Pet.
Just got accepted here. Good to see some familiar faces though I mostly lurked before. As a contribution here are some food pics from some of my memorable trips.
You ain't alone. I live in northeast Ohio where rednecks are the norm and I stick out like a sore thumb. Whenever I travel it feels damn good to be in a diverse area and that weight feels lifted off my shoulders.
Before DC I was in Houston, and before then I was in Nebraska. Obviously in Nebraska, there's very very few Asians so that was a bit weird in hindsight. I used to shrug it off. In Houston, I felt out of place for entirely different reasons, having grown up in Nebraska for so long, I didn't feel like I fit that well within the Vietnamese community so I felt kinda stuck in between. DC is probably the most comfortable place I've been in so far. Since most people are transplants, everybody brings a little bit of something here.
I usually lurk more than I post but the shiny new forum is pretty exciting. I'm Canadian-born, and of Chinese and Filipino descent. I spoke Cantonese as my first language and find it a little sad that I lost it all after starting school. Luckily, I still got my food vocab - always a high priority.
Y'all new folks are disappointing us older folks :shakes Millennial Hmong fists:
Where them food pics at?!?!!
Just kidding. Welcome welcome. Nice to see so many new and old lurkers. It's time for us to unite and help each other no matter where we are ^_^

Hey all, previously lurked the old thread. Asian Australian here with my KFC contribution.
Another DMV'er, awesome. Just moved into Columbia Heights from Ballston, at the Elliott School at GW for my master's.
Hey guys! former lurker here as well... probably as good a time as any to officially join the community.
Loved the title of the old thread btw, I actually have had a lego stormtrooper keychain since forever... been obsessed with them since watching A New Hope way back when.

My bad, here's a stock photo of dinner tonight. Mom hooked it up and the stomach pain was worth it.
Hi Asian Era. I never posted ever on the old forum. Mainly just liked to lurk and read. Anyways, repping Hmong people from the good ol' Midwest.
Oh shit! Nyob zoo dude! How's it hanging! It's pretty rare to see another Hmong person online in terms of video game forums, lol.
Yeah most definitely rare, lol. I'm gonna attempt to not be such a big lurker this time around.
Asian Avenue is where everyone "learned" how to code html. Maybe I should say borrowed instead, lol.
Lol. That's okay. Asian Town was a mistake. *Insert Miyazaki quote*
It's essentially where the ghetto ass Asian kids hung out and tried online dating for Asian teenagers (and start gang beef, lol).

I didn't take pictures of my food today, but I split a Boba Tea for dessert. In honor, I'll post a pic of one off of the internet.
Bubble tea is so much better on the West Coast than in Chicago. I need to visit LA again sometime
I miss Chatime. All of the ones around San Francisco closed.
I did have sea salt jasmine green tea at 85° Bakery though.
I can't believe in Taiwan, all these drinks are like under $1. Feeling so ripped off paying $4-5 for a drink lol.

Try some Bay Area boba. They're 1000% better than what LA's got. Less ice, more flavor, still cold generally.
OMG, another Aussie! City? (Or town... or cattle station...)
Good to see a lot of lurkers taking this opportunity to join and post!
Is there a good place in the US (Atlanta here) for oden? I get that craving for it so much every once and a while, and even though it's not that difficult to make it at home, it would be super nice to go somewhere that makes it better. I can never get the hard-boiled eggs just right.
LIES AND SLANDER.
Come to think of it, I never tried boba when I was in SF. Do you have any recommended places? I usually get coffee but I'd LOVE to find a place that does a good, simple, strong milk tea (with black tea because I'm a purist >=o.)
Also, if you ever come down to LA... well, just get less ice in your drinks :D. Also, we have some of the most legit places, because hello we have the most Chinese/Taiwanese in the entire US.
I never lie! :(((
Honestly, I never got milk tea in SF before. Just around where my parents live, and they usually never last for a month (exaggeration, of course). By the time you get to your hotel or wherever, the shop's probably shut down lol. There's always new ones popping up and going, but Tapioca Express is always there.
