Whichever chocolate box scraps are left on the shelf at Big W?
at least that's what i ended up going for, lol
I can never decide what to get my mom. I can't afford to get her a modern iPad (because she's been wanting one) and I can't afford to get her a modern smart phone (300-500 doll hairs).
I just usually tell her to go buy buy what she wants and I'll pay for it but she hasn't said anything. Mainly because she has dementia.....

Haha sorry I was leaving work and just got home.
So I had lunch with a co-worker. He's never been to a real Chinese food place before so I figure this is a good time.
Y'all.... I scooped rice into the rice bowl for him. This kid took the rice bowl and dumped it onto the flat plate...and then starting pouring SOY SAUCE onto the rice.
Soy sauce. When he has stewed pork belly and stir fried spare ribs and even Kung Pao chicken (that's the dish he wanted).
Ahhhhhhhh hahahahahahahahahahaha fieiciiejeheb cjehhde.
Also the plaza is super Asian so there is basically only one white person there per hundred Asians and JUST our luck the only other white people in the plaza sit at the table next to us, look at what we were eating, and proceeded to order every single dish we had. They were straight up craning their necks.
It was glorious. Plus I got a good eval, so yay.
Oh oh and I forgot the best part.
He started trying to eat it...with chopsticks.
My pokerface game got upped to Nightmare Mode today.
on a flat plate!??!??!?
like honestly sometimes I put rice from a ricebowl onto a flat plate if I want it to look nice and shaped and stuff, usually with like chicken rice or something, but whawhawhat
well first time i guess

First world problems, but the cafeteria downstairs today had both ribs and fried chicken. First time I see either one, and now they're both on the same day? =\
Obviously I chose ribs.
Fishman's?this lobster is so decadent
You chose poorly. You should've gotten both.
Man, mixed flavours are so good for HK egg waffles.
I mean I love the original too but sometimes it's good to mix it up. A place in Toronto does that shit alongside soft serve. https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/902221530/wooffles-cream/
They have a special one right now that is HK as fuck. Regular HK egg waffle folded in half, inside is peanut butter, sprinkled with sugar and condensed milk. So delicious.
Nice. I'm going to go in late August/early September. Can't wait!
Kinda relieved that none of my family live in Surabaya. Still a tragedy, what happened, though. I remember when the Thamrin bombing happened two years ago and I was scared out of my mind because my grandma and aunt occasionally go there to do some shopping.
Yeah, it's legit. I got the garlic lobster miso broth, with soft shell cream and quail eggs.
Non-spicy.
Non-spicy.
ugh i was just gonna do a bahn mi for lunch but now i don't know.
i probably shouldn't bother getting anything too tasty though, severe cold. I've just been eating jook for the last few days. Surprisingly I managed to make it alright...
That reminds me, when you guys make jook, chicken drumsticks or pork bones?

I went to this place called Mints & Honey in San Carlos/Redwood City this weekend. They had pretty good toast. You might want to try it Septimus Prime
Whew at that Japanese eel thread. I'm not saying that I think doing that to eels is right or anything, but the general discourse being like "Japan is full of barbarians" is some casual racism.
Just shows how racist this forum is towards Asian things as usual.

Granted I didn't have time to read all 8 pages, but the first and last page read to me more like "this is fucked, why you doin this Japan," more than "typical dog-eaters" Maybe I missed out on the good stuff though.
To be fair, I think there's nothing wrong with condemning the societal choice. I call the modern Middle East a medieval society stuck in the Dark Ages, so I'm of the opinion that if it quacks like a duck, you call it a duck. I don't think there's a problem with people objecting to east Asian pockets or societies that consider eating live suffering animals okay.

I agree, but I see people using it to generalize Japanese people as a whole. Plus the word "barbaric" is colonial language which has been used to condemn non-white cultures for quite a long time.
yeah but we Japanese love the word "barbaric" too, my grandma would let it slip from time to time lol. Hell, when the Dutch and Portuguese traders introduced their food in the Edo period it was called nanban ryori ("barbarian cooking").
Hehe, I dunno, the meta of that thread amuses me more than offends me to be honest
The French Laundry is a 3 Star Michelin restaurant.
So expect really expensive food and small portions.
It was probably a couple hundred dollars easy.

Is the small proportions a thing for Michelin starrers?
Because I've never seen one that serves decent sized meals to its clientele.
Michelin-starred places focus more on tastings, meaning their plates are small portions that focus more on an artistic blend of flavor, texture, and some artistic spin (like mixing ingredients which may not normally go together).
That food was insanely good, and even though the portiob size of each dish was really small, each person gets every dish, so you still end up with enough to eat.
Yeah, it was not cheap, but it's worth doing once.
Ooh jealous. Husband recognized Keller's apparently very iconic dish ("oyster and pearls") that put him on the map, as well as the salmon.
I'd like to go someday too!! Looks good :D
Fair enough, but this forum has a horrible track record of being racist against Asian people so I'm really not inclined to give anyone the benefit of a doubt.
Which is why I'll never take this forum seriously when racism issues are ever discussed.
Imagine if I went made a thread and declared that Americans are racist gun toting maniacs who shoot poc's on sight, Id probably get crapped on with shit like "Not all Americans" or people will start playing the blame game on the NRA.
Yet in threads like the one you mentioned, so many people are quick to make blanket posts about the entire country itself. It's even more blantantly obvious when it's an Asian country.
It also helps that there's probably only one Asian moderator (Bronson but I could be wrong if anyone knows if there's another one)
Anyways, it's always been clear that the "woke" people here are quick to crap on Asians when it suits them with no consequence.
Slayven is a smart dude, but when I saw he had an ERA mod tag I knew it was gonna be okay here. Posters like Deepwater at least call out other posters on hypocrisy and call it like they see it.
Ooooh yeah, Szechuan
Eggplant yum. Tofu and crab roe.
Amazing fish
Lotus and pork bone soup. Not spicy so a good palate cleanser between other bites.
Beef in chili oil.
Cumin lamb.
Tea tree mushroom
I love mapo so so much
There's spider who frequents this thread too.
I've never been to French Laundry but typically with up scale fine dining restaurants, you get tons of courses so you still leave full and satisfied.
