I'm not sure if we're still updating our food guide, but for my last dinner before I leave for NorCal (sad face), I went to this place in OC called Cafe Hiro, and it's pretty great.

I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to eat, but hopefully when you come back and visit we can.

I think the food up in SF is pretty decent. Let us know which places are good there.

No worries. I know you're most likely swamped this week. I'll actually be back on weekends for now, so let me know, and feel free to hit me up if you guys come up (I won't know shit).

I've been craving this lately although I haven't had it in years. Fried dace with salty black beans swimming in oil.

Ah what the hell, I clicked this thinking it was the graphic design thread still.

But I am Asian, so uh, I shall inform all of you that nam khao is the lord of all cuisine.

Had no idea there was an OT for asians. Are we primarily NA-centric here?

I made a couple ice cream flavors/variations last night:

- Burnt Milk and Tea with Toasted Rice
- Burnt Caramel Milk Tea

I really enjoyed the burnt milk flavor. It was not supposed to be burnt... I fucked up, but it ended up being really good. I'm trying to figure out how to recreate the flavor without just straight up burning the milk again. I tried to just caramelize the sugar and make it slightly burnt, but it led to the second flavor, which was not very sweet at all. Might be good with raisins though:

Thread goes on to also break down AAPI into its actual groups and demonstrate the problem with lumping all Asians in together

White men are going to be more culturally homogenous on average simply because their families have been in the country longer. I wouldn't expect that of first or second generation Asian Americans.

You mean Asian-American? Doesn't really look like it. Though discussions do frequently happan around US based events looking at the thread. That's inevitable though. (If that's what you mean)

I need to start posting since I don't think I ever did on GAF.

What's everyone's feelings on ube? Personally it's my favorite flavor ever since I was a kid and I'm glad the forum is unintentionally ube-themed!

First no Shang and now they're changing the villain

Is it even Mulan anymore?

Eh...what is Mulan really? The story was originally a poem that didn't really tell you a whole lot other than she took her father's place in the army, fought for 12 years and got to a high rank, refused rewards and returned home.

Granted, a witch sounds pretty dumb in the context of the story, but it's not like the characters Disney added to the animated movie was true to the original story either.

I love taro. Hated it at first but it grows on you. And taro flavored anything tastes great.

Yeah, I'm not surprised they're changing it, but still

So back in elementary and middle school (in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the record) all of my Asian friends (mostly filipino) used the tag "aZn" or something very similar in all of their online tags.

This was around the year 2000 (I know this cuz we played a lot of Age of Empires 2 together) and literally all of them, even the ones that weren't friends with each other, male and female, did it.

Was this an isolated incident geographically or was this a common thing? Just sate my curiosity.
