Feng zhua (chicken feet, although the Chinese actually says phoenix claws), ha(r) gow (shrimp dumpling), siu mai (pork dumpling), fried pumpkin in salted egg yolk (no clue what the Chinese name is), ngau cheung (beef rice noodle roll)actually Knight613 can you name those dim sim/yum cha dishes cos i never remember the names and i really should learn
the dairiest product chips (fries) should be near is sour cream
chips (crisps) go okay dunked in milk though
As for ketchup, I... I like to put tomato sauce on rice sometimes.
Don't look at me like that; plain steamed rice can be real boring
Mentioned it in here the other day. I'm suspicious of my results because it says 0% Spanish (meaning a near perfect Southeast Asian side), but who knows.edit: Has anyone here taken a DNA test before? Thinking about doing one...
My grandma coerced me into getting one once because she's big on genealogy. Mostly the results matched expectations, except for a small percentage of Austronesian that snuck in somewhere on the Chinese side.edit: Has anyone here taken a DNA test before? Thinking about doing one...
so my connection with china is fairly tenuous in that i'm a first-gen aussie, my parents are... i think third-gen malaysian-chinese? So even within Malaysia the chinese-ness so to speak already became kind of a reach. The main thing that seems to have survived is the food, CNY of course, and oddly enough a lot of the funeral traditions. So I don't have this void or desire for Chinese culture in me beyond, you know, feeling to some extent embarassment at not being able to speak proper chinese or not knowing the food etc.
I think probably on-average I know more asians than not, but not to the extent they comprise my entire friend groups. I dunno how it is. Honestly, I think I relate more to being asian-australian than I do to being asian or more specifically I suppose chinese (and definitely more than being Malaysian).
Honestly I'm more interested in Japanese and even Korean right now than learning Chinese, btu that's partially just a it's-very-difficult-to-learn-multiple-languages-at-once thing.
Sweet & sour sauce for the fries dip, get with the program y'all
only thing going on my fries is ketchup
only thing going on my chips is lemon (or vinegar)
When an Asian restaurant named Yellow Fever opened more than four years ago in the unassuming Southern California suburb of Torrance, some people were perturbed but kept their opinions to themselves. After all, they thought, how much harm could a single fast-casual restaurant do in a strip mall?
The business expanded, opening another location a few miles northwest on a bustling boulevard in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles. Yet it was only last week, after Yellow Fever opened a third location as part of a Whole Foods 365 store in Long Beach, Calif., that criticism overflowed on social media.
"WAS 'ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME' RICE BOWLS ALREADY TAKEN, @WholeFoods @365byWholeFoods????" Jenny Yang, a comedian and writer in Los Angeles who grew up in Torrance, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
Yeah, I've done some desk lunches recently, too, actually. =\I find that true in general for me, also septie. But I had to be at desk cuz I had to wait for a call. Worst.
How is your son btw :>
That looks yom!! There's a poke place plopped outside one of my go-to study areas at uni but it's kinda pricey for the portions given so I've only been once ;___;
I heard he did this to some girl, so that's probably something to keep an eye on eventually.
10 dollars is my sweet spot for lunch, easy to justify if it's healthy and uses good ingredients.pokes are expensive but healthy and nom~
that one was $16.50 for a bowl... but i've found another place recently that does 'em for ten bux * ___ * per bowl * ___ *
