kung pao chicken is also everywhere in china/taiwan. fried rice. american chinese food is obv southern in origin, mostly cantonese or sichuanese, maybe fujianese, and was adapted for what could be sourced in USA. meanwhile in china those cuisines also kept evolving on their own path. its not like it wasn't chinese cooks making it all along. but yeah it developed for the american pallet I.E. sugar and salt, chopped into small pieces, served on rice. but its not like sugar isn't present in chinese food. americans put salt on sushi they really are psychotic about salt that much I'll give you

it is funny that in china little chopped up stuff served on rice is only like 20% of food but whatever its still not that dissimilar. the quality of chinese food in USA is just very low by design, to make it cheap for a ton of food, competitive

Yeah the weird hyper sweet stuff mostly comes from Hong Kong and you can find it readily in Hong Kong style restaurants in Beijing at least. Crab Rangoon is fully American though

Nobody can answer the difference, but you can just go to a nearby Chinatown and go to a restaurant with mostly Chinese customers and menu mostly in Chinese. But yeah the American Chinese cuisine is really Cantonese cuisine which is one out of 8 Chinese cuisines.

I just got food from a local restaurant far from any Chinatown where we got 红烧蹄膀 and 糖醋莲藕. It's not too crazy. Just look for places where they leave the head on the fish.

the funny thing is it goes both ways and western food especially in taiwan and japan are also interpreted. nothing wholly unfamiliar but like. Spagetti where the noodles are almost in a tomato soup rather than a thick sauce. Pork burgers with eggs and mustard. American Breakfast looks like this. And lots of corn chowder. usually has buttered toast or a croissant as well

steak is almost always well done in taiwan (they do ask what level you want it done though) and served on a sizzling bed of spagetti noodles with a side of sunny side up eggs

I will say Chinese street food including buba tea put too much sugar in them. But street foods nowadays are mostly industrialized fast food. You go to youtube and look at the street food videos all over the world, they are 80% similar. Also go to a western restaurant inside China to eat a steak, the meat is alot softer than the American style. Same thing for the pizza douge you buy in China, its softer than an American pizza. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 02:00 on Jul 22, 2023 |

Sticking eggs in everything is always a good idea. My favorite "comfort foods" I've ever had are omusoba and omurice. But you can just throw some scrambled eggs in pretty much any savory dish and it seems to work. Chinese is probably my favorite style of food in the sense that I can just select completely random stuff from the menu and get at least some enjoyment out of it. I did this a lot senior year in college when I lived in Chinatown. It doesn't have some of the few hard-to-place characteristics that can make me outright dislike food.

"beef slaughtered more than 30 months" means the cow was at least 30 months old, equivalent to "Prime" and "Choice" cuts as defined by the USDA

I've always had the impression that a lot of the sugar chicken type American Chinese food was a little more Fujianese than Cantonese in origin, though American Chinese food overall I'd agree has more canto influence

Eminent DNS posted:I've always had the impression that a lot of the sugar chicken type American Chinese food was a little more Fujianese than Cantonese in origin, though American Chinese food overall I'd agree has more canto influence I am not a Fujianese food connoisseur, but I am pretty sure the few distinctive sweet and sour dishes are all Cantonese. Also most old timey immigrants are Cantonese and Taisanese (part of Canton). However new takeout restaurants are dominated by Fujianese. Their menus are generic Americanized Chinese but have some Fujian favors. Edit, I just google some famous Fujian dishes, all the ones I recognize are Hakka dishes. Hakka people are moved everywhere, but they are counted under Fujianese cuisine.

Ytlaya posted:I went to PF Changs a while back, and the food I got had a completely insane amount of sugar/salt (or at least tasted that way), even for American restaurant food. And I'm not exactly someone with a low tolerance for that sort of thing - I'm fine with fast food, etc. I assume thatw what the local place I ordered from did because it wasn't sweet at all.

It's literally just a matter of looking outside and asking, "Is the sky blue?" Some people have their brains broken so badly that they think the answer to that question is fake.
