莴笋 is another example of a chinese vegetable that is very hard or impossible to find in the states. my parents tried very hard to grow some last year and were only able to harvest enough for half a meal. : (

it's available in vancouver... locally grown, too, as i understand it. there's a hunan restaurant here that has a dish of 炒 eel, bacon (super smoky eerie white hunan bacon) and wosun.

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.

but yeah dylannnnnnnnnnnnnnn is otm when he says
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.

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.
― dayo, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 03:20 (fourteen years ago)
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.
― dayo, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 03:21 (fourteen years ago)
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.
― dayo, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 03:22 (fourteen years ago)
in fact taiwan may have the highest concentration of great chinese food in all of the world. love taiwan.
― dayo, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 03:25 (fourteen years ago)
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
