The real Asian Street Food was not the Michelin Bib Gourmand awarded Oyster Omelettes I had in the morning

Nor a similarly Michelin awarded pork innards noodle soup that seemed to be hit so hard by inflation that they served us this in a huge bowl (we paid extra for the egg too)

But the random unsung street hawker hero you'll find at a random 7-11 or convenience store all around Asia (except Singapore because ) in the wee hours

Who might be smoking and talking shit with his buddies at the side but still notices you looking and asks you for your order

Whose menu probably made in notepad is simply "chicken", "pork", "beef", "seafood" with rice or one of the 819 types of asian noodles

Who then whips up the obvious choice of seafood instant noodles on the grill and tells you to frick off to the 7-11 first if you don't like to wait

Whose fricking culinary masterpiece hits you right in the nose when you take it out of the takeaway bag and into a proper bowl

Who mogs your cooking because your supper avoidant wife finishes half the bowl when you offer her a bite

Whose mastery of cooking 4 types of proteins with 820 types of carbs you'll never beat because you were never from the favelas

Sadly the only proof I have of him existing is this random chopstick, wedge of lime and random thai/asian seasonings in a non-descript plastic bag, but IYKYK

This post is fricking gay and unnecessary but enveloped my soul as I had the first REAL asian street food meal ever since fricking covid broke

And I still vividly remember it being a warm and comforting bowl of congee that I had while severely hungover/drunk in Phnom Penh a couple hours or five after midnight

That's why I know how to make congee: https://rdrama.net/h/food/post/229447/marseyitsoverwerebackchingchon-chiobus-silky-cantonese-congee-recipe

They even help to keep Asians relatively slim because:

• The serving sizes are just perfect

• 50% of the time it'll give you the shits anyway

!goyslopenjoyers plz try the asian goyslop if you ever come across it

God I feel like just taking that walk down a dark alleyway just to order another bowl right now

Neighbour did I really longpost over a $5 bowl of instant noodles

Worth it

Frick it I'll just do it for the pics brb

They were literally just cleaning up when I reached FRICK

AT LEAST I have some more proof of his existence

And the name of his stall is literally just "pad thai" bro I love you but that's not gonna help even if your genius was operating in Finland or something

But at the end of the day the absolute balls to call yourself "pad thai" because you know that you're the best and deserve it

Ok I'm going to bed sad now because it's like some love story where you missed "the one" by 5 minutes due to longposting on a orange cat enjoying homo forum good night

Also I should have lied that the noodles had thai estradiol or something so the !jannies would pin my effortpost but alas I guess that would be too many posts for their tastes thanks

Lmao suddenly thought of the "Sorrowful Rice" dish

went back tonight and was shocked but not really surprised that it was packed full of locals another testament to the chef's skills

gonna dig in now with some thai whisky for the full thai experience too, the place also makes oyster omelettes so I had to try since the Michelin ones were pretty meh

Update: Pad thai was amazing as usual and they should stick to that IMO oyster omelette tasted bad to me but maybe that's their style since I didn't like the other ones too the noodles though O M G

edit: alcohol purchase hours are so weird here because you're allowed to buy booze from 11am onwards till midnight except for a 3 hour period between 2-5 pm lol

something to take note of if you ever come to thailand

@chiobu was taunting me with delicious singaporean food while i was away from my kitchen, now that i'm home i made a bowl with his marsey on it + tried my hand at the recipe i've been thinking about for 2 weeks

original recipes: https://www.singaporeanmalaysianrecipes.com/bak-chor-mee-singaporean-noodles/#recipe https://www.singaporeanmalaysianrecipes.com/bak-chor-mee-singaporean-noodles/#recipe

my mayo version with subbed ingredients i could find here:

(most of the ingredients + marinating meats + soaking shrooms, u don't actually need 5 spice i got it out on autopilot)

120g flat egg noodles (dry), i used half wide, half thin

ground pork:

50g ground pork

2 tsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp white pepper

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

sliced pork:

50g thinly sliced pork

1 tsp soy sauce

MSG MSG MSG

white pepper

broth:

pork stock from my freezer, ~1L (to make your own just boil bones and water)

1 bunch spring onions, use the butts

10 black peppercorns

1 star anise

2 tsp salt

MSG MSG MSG

2 tbsp dried spicy anchovies

shrooms:

30g dried shiitake

250 ml water

2 tbsp soya

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp chinese black vinegar

1 tsp sugar

toppings:

LARD

spam lmao

soya

chili oil (the fermented kind with peanuts :drool:)

shroom liquid

chinese black vinegar

broth

fish balls i made an undetermined time ago from my freezer

chopped spring onion

instructions

night b4:

soak shrooms in hot water, cover

day of:

meats: marinade the meats in separate bowls with the ingredients called for

stock: put everything from the broth category into a pot except the anchovies, cook for at least an hour, skimming if you notice blech on top. add anchovies, cook another 15 minutes, strain and keep stock hot

shrooms: put all the stuff from the shroom category in a pot, simmer for an hour or until the liquid has mostly absorbed, keep warm and keep extra shroom liquid

noodles: cook in boiling water silly

toppings and assembly: fry spam in lard cus you're a fat piece of shit, slice some shrooms, put fishcakes in your broth and cook them for a few minutes, put your meat in a skimmer in the broth and cook for ~1 minute (or until done to your liking) while stirring it around with your chopsticks so it cooks evenly, serve all of it over noodles along with however much vinegar/lard/chili oil/broth/shroom liquid that you like, add spring onions because vegetables means it's healthy

notes: would make fewer shrooms next time (maybe 15g) as my ratio was off, would figure out what pork i'm actually supposed to use (this actually a lie i would use spam 100% of the time because spam is the best), maybe use less fish sauce with the shrooms next time, i bet vinegar in the ground pork marinade would go hard

compared to the photos from the recipe i don't think i did too bad! < theirs mine>

overall 10/10 so glad i prepped extras so i can have it for a few days, no clue how people there stay while having this easily accessible, thank you chiobu for telling me about this!!!!

I was excited to try this especially since it even got the @pizzashill seal of approval. Unfortunately they only make it as a variant of Coke Zero. I can't stand aspartame

!sodadrinkers !goyslopenjoyers Why did they do this to us?

Also has anyone tried the cookies?

There is this fast food chain called nandos. They had a buy one get one free offer. So I got myself the full nando's chicken and one extra free. I live alone and I already feel full before I am finished with the first chicken. I don't have a fridge and I need to be able to finish all the chicken. Is there any technique like doing something that makes me more hungry fast or a resting method where I can finish it all with 10 minute breaks or something like that?

Btw chicken skewers from Nando's are decent, the full chicken the problem is just like every other fast food franchise out there after the initial years their food quality went down, and right now no flavor exists within the chicken itself beyond the skin. I remember a time when the chicken inside used to have a cheesy texture but now that's gone too. Still better than how fricked the KFC chicken bucket is right now.

I am also sticking to a only keep trying new food if you eat outside rule, and so far chicken soup, chicken keema lasagna from oven story, and oven story pizza (cheese burst) are the best items I have found so far.

Wendy's burger is also good but as others have already pointed out before on this hole, wendy's is amazing sometimes, and decent other times. I would still consider wendy's in the top 10% of burger places.

In India there is this other franchise called Burger Singh, I recommend their burgers, go for the 2 chicken snackers combo. Those are good, small, and filling.

Overall my system is adjusting to trying out a diversity of food and am starting to more and more rely on fruits and vegetables. They just are more dependable by the end of the day and can taste filling at least if not the best flavor wise. Even sugar intake has fallen to normal person levels ( not fat ).

Life improves. Let me know if you have a solution for my problem. Thanks in advance.

For all you knights in shining armor: most kids are forced to be meat eaters. You have to make a choice for your kids one way or the other, and if you are vegan but healthy, there's nothing wrong with raising your kids vegan. For some people this might also be due to their religion, Hindus for example are strictly vegetarian.

Non-vegans force their kids to be non-vegan too, because that's just how they raise them. Now, you might say "but they give their kids a choice".

But is it an informed choice? Do non-vegan parents show their kids / inform their kids about the violence and cruelty that is standard, legal practice in animal agriculture? Do they show them the terrible conditions 99% of farmed animals live in, the maceration of baby male chicks in the egg industry, the forced impregnation of dairy cows and the violent killing of animals?

Do they, at the very least, discuss the ethics of eating meat / animal products with their kids and explain to them that it is not necessary to eat them (i.e. they eat meat for taste pleasure and convenience only)?

No, they don't.

If they did, I can guarantee you that more kids would want to be vegan or at least vegetarian. Many non-vegan parents even try to stop their kids from going vegan / vegetarian.

And this doesn't even go into the actual ethical component. Let me ask you this - why should (vegan) parents be forced to pay for unnecessary exploitation of and cruelty towards animals, just for their kids? What you say is vegan parents "forcing" their kids to be vegan is just them not paying for products whose production they are morally against. Vegan parents do not physically stop their kids from consuming animal products. They just don't purchase those products for them, as they are against unnecessary exploitation of and cruelty towards animals.

Its about Ethics in Food Production sweetheart

Shitty parents always finding ways to abuse their kids. Can't beat the shit out of them anymore? Okey then. Let me treat you like a rabbit during the time they need the most nutrients...

Now I'm triggered at 3am. Thx reddit.

redditors are literally fueled by ragebait

in this case, your daughter might not be vegan

You can be vegan by force

so if a guy r*pes me, that makes me gay?

A forgotten bag of Cheetos left inside Carlsbad Caverns might have seemed trivial to the owner, but it had an outsize impact on the cave's delicate environment, rangers said.

Ad

The cheesy snacks were dropped off-trail in the Big Room at the national park in New Mexico, rangers said in a Friday, Sept. 6, news release on Facebook.

A photo with the release shows a crumpled Cheetos bag on the rocky cavern floor.

"To the owner of the snack bag, the impact is likely incidental," rangers said in the release. "But to the ecosystem of the cave it had a huge impact."

"Softened by the humidity of the cave, (the corn-based snacks) 'formed the perfect environment' for fungi and microbial life, rangers said.*

"Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations," rangers said. "Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink."

Rangers spent 20 minutes cleaning up the mess and removing foreign molds from the cave.

"At the scale of human perspective, a spilled snack bag may seem trivial, but to the life of the cave it can be world changing," rangers warned.

The Big Room is the largest single cave chamber by volume in the United States, according to the National Park Service.

Established as a national park in 1930, Carlsbad Cavern is "one of over 300 limestone caves in a fossil reef laid down by an inland sea about 265 million years ago," rangers said.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park is about a 300-mile drive southeast from Albuquerque.

OK but is it good? Can any one tell me.

After his first McDonald's meal in 1967, Fujita was amazed by its efficiency and popularity. After selling imported bags and shoes, Fujita seized on the opportunity to start McDonald's franchises in Japan in 1971. His strategy for selling McDonald's to the Japanese people involved the following statement: "The reason Japanese people are so short and have yellow skins is because they have eaten nothing but fish and rice for two thousand years... if we eat McDonald's hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years we will become taller, our skin become white, and our hair blonde."[1][2]

"I slice up my garlic, but first I chop up the bacon, and get all that fat going, then I put garlic, some chili peppers, and then a lot of water and a little chicken stock and I let it go for a while, before I put the greens in. And then, right? So, you get that going and all that flavor, and then I put the greens in for a couple hours, then I do vinegar, and then I cheat and do a little Tabasco."
