:marseychef: Exotic Comfort Food from the Far East for the rdrama.net commune - 虫草花鸡汤 (Cordyceps Flower Chicken Soup) :!marseychingchong:

So one of the major negatives of Singapore is our fricking weather, where a thunderstorm could erupt suddenly on a scorching hot day. That coupled with how everywhere's air-conditioned because frick the heat means that we alternate between hot and cold temperatures the whole day... and I guess I finally succumbed and got the sniffles or covid or something, which was coincidentally after a trip to our fake snow city. Speaking of the fake snow area, how the frick are people able to wear masks outdoors in the cold? It was such a horrible experience, and I can't believe people are actually advocating for it. :marseybongosnoo:

Much like in the West, a chicken soup is our go to for comfort food for when we're feeling under the weather, so maybe we're not that different after all. Then again I remember how cordyceps are literally a parasitic fungus that grows on caterpillars as I slurp them down, I guess we might be that different after all... Hmmm yummy

So dramautists, what's your favourite comfort food? Any unique ones in your culture that people should know about or try?

The classic American comfort food is mac & cheese and maybe fried chicken lol. Burgers could also probably be considered comfort food

Some Lebanese comfort foods are kibbeh, kafta, and maybe kousa? Kousa is hard to make though so I'm not really sure that it's a comfort food. I would say hummus as well but that's not really a full meal

Yeah I love hummus too but it's hard to find some here that's as good as you can get in Lebanon. I've tried to make it myself and it still didn't really taste the same, but maybe I'm just shit at making it lmao

There's also baba ghanoush which is another pita bread dip/side dish but it's made from eggplant and not chickpeas. It's not as good as hummus imo but it's still pretty good
