How does everyone here feel about mainland Chinese immigrants?
I was just reading this: http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...ation-architecture-20140511-story.html#page=1
I live there. The article frames this new expansion as a good thing, but really it's a new type of gentrification, and it's pushing out older residents, who cannot afford the ridiculous housing prices.

Hi all, Indian (Parents born and raised in Fiji though), 22,
Date women of all races, my family at all levels is cool with it tbh.Speaking of dating, are you guys dating asians too or other races? and how's your family reactions?
oh shit, never met another fiji indian before.
Not only Asian, but a fellow Taiwanese-American raised in very similar socioeconomical status with very similar family education, background, and culture.
I think my parents are really happy about it.
As for who I've dated in the past... uh, mostly Asian, a couple of others colors but those never lasted very long (usually because they were guys that dated my exes and I didn't want the drama, or they were guys that apparently had yellow fever and nty).
It depends.. frozen? Fresh? etc
Usually the package says. But, if you're talking about buns in a rice cooker, I usually just put enough water to float the steamer pot. That's how I steam mine.
These were frozen. The package is in Chinese from a place in NY, there's no directions. I went 13 mins and they seem OK. I bought bamboo steamer you use in a wok so I use that to steam stuff now. They tasted good, I need more now.
I hate microwaving frozen stuff :/oh you steam yours. i just pop it in the microwave lol.
Sadly I didn't own a rack for my pit so I bought the bamboo instead :lolI don't have a bamboo steamer, so I just go with a plate + rack + a wide pot.
Ooh we have pork blood sausage (I think it's pork) in Taiwan.. it's a kind of street food! The ones I've tried were mixed with glutinous rice. Not my thing, because I can't get over eating blood, but a lot of people seem to like it.

HK people do it too. Beaten raw egg + soy sauce usually in a separate bowl, though they'll add other stuff too. So good.Pork blood in hot pot is dope.
And backslash, here's something maybe only you will understand. Whipped raw egg as a sauce base for hot pot. Apparently it's a Taiwanese-only thing because all my other Chinese friends think it's weird and gross.
Ahhh my grandmother used to slaughter chickens in front of me, drain the blood, and serve me soup with chicken blood in it x_x. I was like... 6.
& yeah, I've had the whipped raw egg sauce, but I prefer the peanut variety (I think it's Thai inspired?) for my hotpot . It is a Taiwanese thing, though, apparently, when it's mixed with shacha sauce.

I actually disagree with using raw eggs during sukiyaki if only because the flavour of the broth/sauce tastes really good as is.Sukiyaki too
Thoughts on bitter melon? Used to hate that stuff, but now I can eat it and actually don't mind it!
I used to loathe it, now I mildly dislike it but I'll eat it. From what I hear people tend to like it more the older they are

Bitter melon doesn't really have that bad of a smell.
or much of any, really I don't think
Sup Asian GAF, just discovered this thread about 5 minutes ago. Some quick info about me. I'm Hmong American, if you've never heard of Hmongs then just watch Gran Torino. I'm one of those kind of Asians. It wasn't a very accurate portrayal of Hmong people when it came to certain things but it's all cool, we got our 15 minutes in Hollywood and at least a few more people know that we exist compared to before. Besides that I gave myself this name over 10 years ago when it came time to creating a PS2 user name to play Madden 2003 online. I wanted to use a stereotypical name that would indicate that I'm Asian so I came up with this and I've stuck with this ever since.
Now for a story I want to get off my chest. This past March I got married, but only traditionally and not legally. I have insurance with my current job and wanted to enroll my wife. I explain to HR at the time that I wasn't legally married so if it would be OK. They weren't sure but said I could probably do it. So I did it and finally a month ago I got a letter saying she would be removed unless I provide proper documents. So we get legally married and bring in the paper to my HR lady. I told them that I did say I wasn't legally married before but she refuse to acknowledge that this could be possible and that if any one of them heard it they wouldn't have allowed it although it happened. But it didn't end there. She kept asking if we got married in this country. I was completely baffled and confused and explained to her that my wife and I got traditionally married but not legally. But she keeps going on about talking to someone who got married in another country and says that she thinks it was me. My wife then finally says that we got married right here in North Carolina.
Anyways she finally faxes the document to the insurance company and we leave. We proceed to go on about what the fuck she was thinking. We're both standing right in front of her speaking in perfect American accents because you know, we're both born and raised here so why the hell would we got back to Asia to get married. That shit cost a ton of money, unless she thinks we're Mexicans or that she's Canadians. I can't figure it out and the entire thing was confusing and she seemed pretty ignorant about more than just that. She refused to believe to believe what I had to say but kept assuming that I was this other person when I never confirmed it until my wife finally did because we were getting annoyed by what we think she meant by it.
They smell depending on how they are made I think. I normally don't like the ones uh stewed? No idea what the word is in English. The ones cooked with the salty eggs is good stuff though.
