What I really want to try is some Tonkotsu ramen, which is pretty much ramen in a pork bone-marrow broth.

I've had real Ramen before. As in Ramen from a streetside stall.

It's...underwhelming. Having tried several different flavors from several different locations they all taste fairly similar broth-wise and only differ a lot in the side dishes and the meats.

I have tried authentic Pho in Hanoi and Chinese La Mian as well. And they are clearly superior in taste AND variety. I'm really big on soup noodles so having found something I can be ecstatic about is a big thing for me.

>>49253845
I can't indulge in glorious Nippon food because I hate seafood. Feels indifferent man, but I'm a bit reluctant to ever travel to Japan for this reason alone.

>>49253298

You know what I fucking want right now?

A delicious goddamn Banh Mi.

Also, San Jose California is known to have a significantly large Vietnamese population. I just fucking love their food, cheap and delicious as fuck.

>>49253910
I really want some ramen. This is partially because it's been a solid 3 years since I've last had real ramen. I miss California...

>>49253929
Banh mi is fucking delicious. There's a place quite a ways away that sells 6 for $10. I'll occasionally indulge myself and eat nothing but banh mi for a several days.

>>49253910

The flavor in Ramen is nearly entirely from the broth and meat.

If you eat Ramen with mediocre broth, it's going to be mediocre.

Tonkotsu Ramen is a broth made by boiling pig bones for 3 days, it's thick and full of goddamn flavor and bone marrow. It's the only Ramen I want to try if I ever visit Japan.

>>49253954

Do want! A few months back, I acquired several pounds of beef tendon. Went and bought some beef stew meat and sour mustard, stewed the meat together, and ate beef tendon noodle soup for the next 2.5 weeks. Fuck yeah.

This thread is more civilized and entertaining than half of the other ones out there.

>>49254015
Ramen is a loan word from Chinese, because the food itself is an import. The Japanese version is more well known the world over due to the Japanese invention of cup ramen.

Protip: The locals try not to eat THAT much seafood because of all the pollution in the waters around Qingdao. But yeah, we do have great seafood. Walking the boardwalk after a meal of sauteed razor clams washed down with a cold Qingdao Beer? Heaven.

I miss Chinese streetvendor food. There is one restaurant around here that does it decently, and it's $2.50 per skewer, which actually isn't too bad a deal, really.

>>49254576

I got to Pho Kim Long in Milpitas and Pho Saigon in Cupertino, mostly due to location and how much closer it is to my house/my friends' houses.

I've always wanted to just go pho-hopping and try out the best place in the city. I've already done it with Banh Mi hopping, and the best place I believe that sells it is here:

You should go the Jiro-sushi (3 michelin stars) and eat their sushi with soy sauce and wasabi.

They will stab you in the face.

>>49254560

Yeah No Reservations is pretty good. I just wanted to point out that this guy goes really in depth regarding the actual food itself is all.

>>49254537

Canadian Lanzhou bro here. A few friends and I attempted to make it a while back. We seasoned some meat using salt, cumin seeds and powder, and some ground hot peppers. Put them on a skewer and BBQ'ed them with a gas stove.

They came out decent, over-seasoned, but decent. But still nothing compared to the professionally seasoned and coal-BBQed version in China.

>>49254706

>Korean
>Superior

Nope, your food is just as tasty as everyone elses. Gotta love me some short-rib BBQ and stone-bowl dishes.

>>49254680
>$2 a sandwich
Why haven't I been here yet, holy shet

>>49254706
Japanese cuisine is one of the world's great culinary traditions along with French and Chinese. Earth agreed, don't bother them about it.

>>49254600
The first time I went back to China with my mom and dad after immigrating, we went out to this one dumpling restaurant with my maternal grandparents, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, and 2 cousins. We stuffed ourselves with seriously the best goddamn dumplings I've ever had. (We're northerners up in Shandong, so we take our dumplings and delicious flour-based foods seriously.) The total? With drinks, tip, and a private room and server, it came out to about $16 converted to RMB. Curse you, floating conversion rate!

>>49254576
>mfw I had to move from the Bay Area to the cultural wasteland that is Dallas
Actually, we do decently for Chinese and Indian food, but it has nothing on California.

>>49254706
>>49254777

You motherfuckers.

Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Phillipino, whatever the fuck.

Regardless of where it is, it's all fucking tasty. Stop this shit at once.

>>49253497
>>49253666
Haha oh wow.

>>49254820

I remember I went to visit my mother's cousin in Dong-bei, he owned a restaurant/spa hybrid building.

We ate some of the most delicious Beijing/Peking Duck there, and then just chilled in the bath-house with free massages all around.

Definitely one of the best days when I was on vacation there.

Yes, we were served traditional Peking duck like this. No rice, sauce on the side, Duck is slow roasted, thin Chinese pancake rolls all around.

>>49254576

Ah, fuck, is this the pho place in San Fran where you eat a challenge bowl the size of 4-large pho bowls?

Pro tip, eat a shit ton of grapes the night before you take the challenge. It digests fast and expands your stomach out, so you can shove more stuff in.

And by a lot of grapes, I mean around 5 pounds of it. Also eating around 4-6 hours before you go to sleep.

>>49255077
I'm pretty sure those who have their photos taken, completed the challenge

>>49254938
>skin still on meat
Okay, so Dallas actually has a fuckawesome Peking duck place. The restaurant specially orders ducks from New York fattened in the foie gras way. You usually call in 24 hours ahead of time so that your duck can be slow-defrosted in the fridge. When you get there, your duck is deep fried. The manager's son comes out with the duck, cuts off the skin in deliciously brown, crispy pieces and then carves the juicy meat in bite-sized portions. The bony carcass is then taken back to make a rich broth with vermicelli and sour mustard.

It costs like $40 for a duck, but it's well worth it if you go with other people.

>>49254680
In college, there's this crappy pho place we went to down in Mountain View because they were open late. Broth was only "okay", but being able to have pho with a car full of your buddies at 3am is quite the convenience.

I got so damn fat during college.

>skin still on meat

What's the problem? The skin is awesome.

I had ramen at a place called Ichiran in Osaka(Dotombori) once.

It was...so good. Oh my god.

http://www.ichiran.co.jp/index.html

>>49254991
THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME.

Will have to wheedle my friends into going there next time I'm in SF/Oakland to visit friends.

>>49255148

>He doesn't eat Peking duck with the skin on

Honestly, it's a matter of personal taste. I prefer the skin because of that fucking crisp texture and extra flavor.

Fuck, you guys, this thread is making me hungry and resentful of my boring flavorless heritage at the same time.

>>49255205
You're supposed to have them separate. For each of those little bing, you put on the sauce, scallions, slices of meat, and slices of skin. Wrap it up, and enjoy! It's crispier and tastier this way, though it requires a super-fatty duck in order for the skin to not dry out.

>>49255301

>slices of meat, and slices of skin.

If you're putting both of those things in anyways, what's the difference if it's still on the duck?..

>>49255301

Shit, you're right. I think that's how it was prepared for us at well.

It was 4 years ago, I have a tough time remembering.

Man, I miss a good old fashioned Chinese breakfast. Freshly boiled Soy Milk + You Tiao.

>>49254057
>California
>real ramen
I have bad news for you.

>>49255371

The skin is considered more of a delicacy, and enjoyed on its own.

>>49255371
It's testament to how fatty the duck is. Like the duck in >>49254938, for example: The skin is thin and adherent to the meat with no fatty layer.

I can't describe to you what this duck is like. The skin basically becomes this substantial, crispy armor covering the entire duck. It's crazy.

Apparently a lot of street vendors in China near the seaside serve skewered Squid, though it's seasoned exactly like skewered lamb (Salt, red pepper, cumen seeds).

Pretty tasty, in all honesty.

All other meals disgusts me. Sushi is food designed for a race of smart people with superior taste.

My goal in life is to become rich enough to afford high-end sushi dinners once a week.

>>49255401
Eh. There's at least a small population of Japanese people over in the Bay Area. SF even has that weeaboo-infested Japantown.

>>49255395
>You Tiao
Oh god, that's so good. When I go back to my parents' house, we'll sometimes go for Chinese brunch at a little diner and have 豆腐脑 and 油条. Delicious. Deep-frying makes everything better.

>>49255495

The duck that I eat is Skin > Fatty layer > Meat, and it's pretty damn delicious. Eat it on a plate full of delicious sauce, none of that wrap stuff.

>>49255401
Cali is the closest to legitimate overseas cuisine you can get in the continental us. If you disagree, you probably haven't lived/stayed here for a long enough time to know where the good food is.

Peasant tier food here, this is like the equivalent of Chicken Nuggets in America.

But it's fucking delicious

>>49254706
Korean food is good is you want to die from food poisoning. In the streets, they don't even wash the dishes before they serve the next client with them.

>>49255721
That's not pork.

>>49255743
You don't clean a barbecue each time you use it. Same thing.

>>49255679
Well, for Japanese food, Hawaii is probably even better.

But California is a lot more accessible than Hawaii for most of us.

>>49255785
I've heard it's amazing there although I've never been personally. I know a girl in one of my classes who's family owns a Japanese restaurant in Hawaii though.

>>49255781

>You don't clean a barbecue each time you use it.

Hell yes you do. What the hell are you doing to your meat son?

>>49255939
No, you don't. It's not the same thing as not washing plates though.

>>49255939
Giving it flavor.

>>49255939
You don't need to do it, but most people do because having your meat stick is annoying.

However, you're not supposed to clean your skillets or other cast iron pots.

>>49256012

What the hell are you doing to your cast iron?! Damn straight it needs to be cleaned and oiled after use. If you meant don't use soap / detergents, then say it.

I've been thinking about this lately: is it possible that he was saying "Gilgamesh," but in Engrish?

Why? Because you get half a boiled egg and some seaweed.

>>49256299

That's what I meant. You wipe it off and oil it, but that's hardly what most people think of when you say "clean your pots".

Fuck you /a/, I don't go to /ck/ this late at night for this very reason. Too late to go out and all thats left to eat here is whisky and cereal.

>>49255781

Oh my fucking god I'm rock hard

So I have this friend who did JET for a year on the west coast of Japan. She told me that she'd eat sashimi and sushi every day for a few bucks on her way back from school because that's the cheapest stuff they had there.

I cried a little on the inside.

Message from Gintama staff.

all you can eat sushi for $30. rapes my wallet every time

Japanese sushi is so big!!

>>49259472

Really? The place I goes to has All you can eat sushi for $16.95.

And it's not like a sushi buffet, it's a sushi bar where you just order as much as you possibly can.
