When you're served this, they come intact like that picture, and you're supposed to break them up and toss them into the stew.

thanks.

man, vancouver is 90% chinese but the food will never live up to the shittiest mainland china backwater, i think.

and this is why NYC can never have great chinese food. even in flushing. THE END.

greatest country in the world

LOOK at that

think I told this story before on ILX but the spiciest, hottest food I ever had was in chengdu - some 特辣 chicken wings that had me on a vision quest, for reals. and normally I don't back down from spicy food. I think they used a ghost pepper or the chinese equivalent.

I remember sweating profusely, my vision getting dizzy, stumbling across a city square during a very cold winter day with a starbucks frappuchino in one hand, a bottle of water in the other, double fisting. took about 20 minutes for the spiciness to wear off. jesus.

that blog post about chengdu is otm though - as china's people get wealthier the food is getting shittier. I had more disappointments in my most recent trip to beijing (this past winter) than I did in all the previous times I had been back. china should look to hong kong as a warning to what happens when your city gets overrun with franchises.

otoh taiwan is still great and they are pretty rich! taiwan has the best street food in the world.

in fact taiwan may have the highest concentration of great chinese food in all of the world. love taiwan.

I mean, I get it! when you become middle class you don't have time to worry about food. you are staring at a computer screen all day. and you can actually afford a house and to create a good environment for your kid to live in. but it still makes me sad, a little bit. china makes me sad, sometimes. godspeed

I’ve been so obsessed with Szechuan cuisine lately it’s redic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_stock

Apparently I did not take any pictures of the amazing food I had in Chengdu :(

would love to go there.

There are claims of master stocks in China that are hundreds of years old, passed down through generations of cooks in this way

wau

I am really fucking hungry now

Like Thailand made me think "this is fantastic, but some Thai food in the US is also decent"

China: "I have never had anything like real Chinese food before"

I guess Thai food travels better than Chinese food for some reason? idk

dayo, what was the name of that place you were repping for by philly?

someone told me it's that the thai food most tourists have is the one that's served in tourist destinations, which is... tailored to fit the tourist's tastes.

I've been to an area north of phuket where no tourists go, and the thai food was definitely different than what I had experienced, but it wasn't that mind blowing. could be that that area was relatively impoverished
