no thanks, that's what the liquor is for
In non-explicitly-about-food news, I'm going to HK and Taiwan this summer. Not the first time going to HK, but is first time in Taiwan.
I'm gonna eat a lot.

Yeah I have to truck to SoHo after work today in 9 degree with windchill and get these little fuckers:
I once tweeted that even if the Laduree truck overturns in Damascus half of NYC's population of Asian females would still be there.
Then stand in line ...ugh *shudders*

Seeing as I don't really eat sugar; I'm pretty sure my Sugar God manifests itself as a blend of your avatar at the moment and the Asian-GAF thread....
Wait. Holy crap. It makes sense. I can't believe we didn't realize it...
Bunny is the avatar of the Sugar God. ALL HAIL THE BUNNY AND HER SUGARY GOODNESS.

Fountain Valley? The Torrance one is way better.
They're supposed to be the same, but Torrance > Fountain Valley > Rosemead, for some reason.

This! I didn't know there was one in Soho. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's in Soho.

I've never heard of Laduree. Maybe I should check it out if there's one in NYC.

Does anyone know a place to watch Detective Di Renjie with English subtitles?
I think macarons originated from Laduree. I even have their dessert cookbook.
... I should make desserts more often.

Starting to get into Fresh Off The Boat. The shit is incredible. "Look she's cutting the pieces equally because of communism," I wanted to punch her right then and there.
Fuck, I want some food now.
I always want food when I open this.
Anyways, can anyone peep this and let me know what they think?

Yep. They opened a location in the States maybe...5 years ago? Got dragged there a little after its grand opening of course. They have two locations - 72nd and Madison and the one in SoHo. It's almost always packed with teen/college Asian girls, so you're bound to hear a few..'interesting'...conversations while you're waiting in line. I get agoraphobic thinking about it. Luckily I only go twice a year -- for my girl's bday and valentine's day.

I remember my first time hearing about orange chicken. I was like what the heck is that
Westernized Chinese food is pretty blehh.

I'm sure porn's banned in a lot of Asian countries. Pretty sure it's the same deal in China.
Daikokuya and Yamadaya are great alternatives.
My take on this is the younger Americanized generation are Elitist about what real Chinese food is while the older real Chinese families don't care and thinks it's not bad.
It's funny to me because my very Taiwanese parents love "fake" Chinese food.

Holy moly, was it legit!
So, we went there (no pics, sorry), and it is probably the best shabu shabu I've had. It was like getting shabu shabu and omakase at the same time.
I got the A5 Wagyu beef, and my wife got the beef and seafood combination, with clam, oyster, A5 Wagyu beef, and live king crab replacing the frozen king crab. The beef had the consistency of butter.
They started us off with kanpachi, a soup, and crab meat chawanmushi, and after that we had our main course, followed by udon and rice soup, followed by creme brulee and banana pie with ice cream for dessert.
They even gave my wife a flower for Valentine's Day (which is awesome because I fucked up and didn't get flowers)!
The bill, though? After everything, it was $355--definitely one of the most expensive meals for two I've had.

True story, my brother stepped on a sea urchin while in the Czech Republic. Let's just say the scene wasn't pretty
Thank you for giving me nightmares. Thankfully I suck at swimming and the ocean has no need to claim me for food at the moment. =D
This was my exact impression. That one grandpa seemed open to it and ended up enjoying most of it. Not gonna lie, I like that coconut shrimp they make!
I think the elitism came from the fear that non-Asians would mistake Chinese take out as authentic Chinese food. For the most part I'm surrounded by people who can distinguish so I don't have that problem. There aren't that many Panda Express around me but I'm not against ordering take out. I equate it to fast food; sometimes you're just in the mood for it and you don't want to cook.

Real Chinese food does taste better.
Looks tasty. Too bad the eggs are hard boiled, I much prefer a medium boiled egg myself.
Goes for any type of food, really.
Indeed. It's just fast food. It's not like Cafe de Coral is much better than panda express.

So are all those Chinese restaurants(in the US) owned by Chinese immigrants suppose to be "real Chinese food". Or are these immigrants basically just using the same formula that's been successful for decades now?
I ask this because my bro worked at a place and Germans owned it for a little while and their were German engineers there. One of them told my bro that this wasn't authentic Chinese food like the kind he had back in Germany. Funny thing was that he couldn't get enough of it lol. So I was just curious about that?

Ehhhhh I think it is, unfortunately :/
Chinese food is slightly different from country to country as they need to cater to the people there. In the US, it's General Tso's or Chicken Broccoli. However, most places you can order "off menu" and get more authentic dishes.
I hope y'all appreciate pink boba
Is it flavored?
I actually have a love/hate relationship with bubble tea...
