kaetaa, is there a chinese food you'd recommend trying if someone gets the chance?

There aren't any restaurants where I'm at, but out of town there definitely are

2016-11-16 15:17:37 UTC  

ruu: region matters

2016-11-16 15:17:49 UTC  

hmm. well chinese food and western chinese food are totally different. so, if yo usee some authentic chinese food, id have to say to try soup dumplings. They are like little steamed buns with meat inside and a little soup. so you suck the soup out, and then eat the meat with vinegar

What I absolutely love about Asia (I only visited Chinkapore, though) are the affordable restaurants and great street food, which makes sense since people don't cook that much at home (in Chinkapore you usually work till late)

2016-11-16 15:18:11 UTC  

if you're ever in fujian you should try their noodle broths

2016-11-16 15:18:19 UTC  

and fish balls

2016-11-16 15:18:21 UTC

byte: yeah, I know region makes a huge difference, but I think if I tried hard enough I could find anything in LA

And that sounds really good kaetaa, I'll have to try it one day

2016-11-16 15:19:35 UTC  

yeah; "cafeteria" and greasy spoon type places used to be prevalent in the west when people actually worked for a living but they fell out of favor for expensive restaurants

2016-11-16 15:19:36 UTC  

sucks

2016-11-16 15:19:37 UTC  

Fish balls are good

2016-11-16 15:19:46 UTC

2016-11-16 15:19:55 UTC

My gf saw it online before we went and put it on the to do list. Supposedly had giant gyoza and a lot of types or something

2016-11-16 15:23:12 UTC  

is it that bad

2016-11-16 15:23:19 UTC  

In the end it was really expensive for small portions, closer to a chuck e cheese than amusement park

2016-11-16 15:23:40 UTC  

the worst part about going to chinese places is the language barrier for the actual good food

2016-11-16 15:23:47 UTC  

If they said the gyoza was bagged but fried well I would believe it

2016-11-16 15:24:03 UTC  

helps to go with a friend who can speak the language

2016-11-16 15:24:07 UTC
