【开水白菜】
在周恩来几次三番的盛邀之下,女客才勉强用小勺舀了些汤,谁知一尝之下立即目瞪口呆,狼吞虎咽之余不忘询问总理:为何白水煮白菜竟然可以这般美味?
boiled cabbage. floating in a clarified broth made from pork, game, jinhua ham, dried scallops. properly made, this is one of the best things you will ever taste.

I used to really really love bacon. Then I was into ribs. Nowadays, the pork shoulder braise is the highest form of pig I know. I want all of them.

i was reading about vegetarian food on this thread. i have a long story about eating vegetarian food:
in guangzhou, i'm either sick of or unimpressed by cantonese or southern food in general and quite often, i seek out a lanzhou lamian place. they're pretty standard across china, despite being operated by usually muslim chinese from different ethnic groups and regions-- like, the menu is fairly standard and the pictures of the dishes on the wall are pretty standard and there's usually a picture of the blue mosque in istanbul or wherever the blue mosque is, and quite often oversaturated pictures of western chinese grasslands and super blue-green lakes, but the way that they make the actual food might not correspond to the picture on the wall, so you might get cumin lamb and it might be crispy slices of lamb dusted with cumin or it might be a briefly stewed dish with tomatoes and tomato soup and lamb mixed up, but you can order cumin lamb, no matter where you go. i like that standardization and maybe when i first went to china, i liked the sort of refuge from chineseness or at least chinese food and it was cool to hang out with a bunch of guys that were very much on the outside of chinese society in important ways and could barely read the menu at their restaurant and quite honestly maybe it's like americans hanging out at irish bars in shanghai or something, really stupid but i did feel that way before and i did appreciate the foreignness of those types of places, anyways right now i just like the chance to escape the cantonese love of rice starch products and sweetness and i want CILANTRO and vinegar and spice and products made from wheat. most of the lanzhou lamian restaurants in guangzhou are run by people from qinghai, which i know nothing about and have never been to, and it can be interesting to talk to the people running them, at least, and it's cheap and it's always good, and even my bougiest chinese friends will usually agree to eating at a lanzhou lamian restaurant because they think of them as "clean" and less likely to use recycled cooking oil due to muslim dietary rules and that's their theory not mine and fuck it, i'm not going to eat a 50 rmb bowl of ramen in tianhe when we could go get some pulled noodles and drink some sweet tea or coca-cola out of a little glass bottle with a long straw and look at pictures of the tibetan plateau and it's about 12 rmb at most for a bowl of noodles and a half hour sitting in air conditioning.
the other day, in a haze of hangover depression and self-pity, i took the wrong street coming home and came across a street that had a few restaurants on it, somewhere near luoxi metro station. i went into a lanzhou lamian restaurant, looked pretty standard: girl from qinghai working the front of house. i noticed that it was particularly clean and along with tidied up variations on standard lanzhou lamian restaurant pictures, there was a big banner on the wall that was talking in vague terms about how eating green food, healthy food leads to a healthier spirit. i also noticed that the menu was a bit strange. like, there was no "beef pulled noodles" or anything, but just a generic "lanzhou pulled noodles." the only time the character for meat occurred on the menu was in 肉夹馍, meat in bread, which i think should always be made with really greasy boiled for hours in coffee-colored broth pork belly and raw chili peppers and cilantro but in these types of places involves a sort of dense flatbread and generic stirfried beef. i got that and i got "braised noodles," which should have been listed as "braised beef noodles." okay. when i got the bread and meat, i thought it was okay but the texture was off and i opened it to discover it was stuffed with tiny cubes of mushroom and a pressed tofu product. my suspicions were confirmed. i had somehow managed to find the only vegetarian halal fake lanzhou lamian restaurant in china. and when my noodles came, they weren't even pulled noodles and were floating in a slightly sweet tomato broth and the meat had been replaced with a multilayered bean curd product.
the usual patrons of lanzhou lamian restaurants, single men silently eating plates of noodles and lamb under buzzing fans while pretending to check their cellphones for messages from people that won't ever message them, were replaced by a group of chatty older cantonese-speaking ladies that had brought some kind of fermented yeast drink to accompany their meal and talked about eating vegetarian food during their meal. i felt deeply out of place and dissatisfied and confused.

i never saw this phenomenon before but everyday when i arrive at work i get off the metro in tianhe and for a couple square kilometers around the metro exit mouth there are people holding signs saying they'll buy mooncake coupons and you can buy the coupons they buy at a discount and regift them, i guess. i'm honestly not sure how it works.
― dylannn, Tuesday, 17 September 2013 08:44 (ten years ago) link
i don't know. i've only eaten one meal in the last three days and am so hungry that i would eat any food product offered to me right now so it's hard to write what i hate about mooncakes but
sometimes too dense, too oily, too sweet but i understand thatthere are many types of mooncakes and i've just never had the right kind.
― dylannn, Tuesday, 17 September 2013 08:45 (ten years ago) link
I've never eaten a mooncake for the same reason I've never eaten a rainbow or a unicorn. No matter how hungry I am I could never eat a monet...
