Thank God for my face.

Isn't a lot of what we consider "Chinese food" in the West -- i.e. westernised Cantonese cuisine -- basically what HK cuisine is, except more British?

We've recently made a conscious decision to go out for Cantonese once a month or so. Takes us back to our formative years before what passes for Chinese in this country became wanker food.

Yeah, mall food courts have kind of ruined it tbh, since now that's what people actually expect, just with more sauce and salt.

That's a concerning pitch map. It seems like India just seem content to bore Australia out.

a bowling attack with 3 debutants and a combined experience of 4 Tests against two of the best batsmen in the world at home on a road. Can't really expect them to do much else.

In NZ at least, we are starting to get more Chinese restaurants that are dedicated to foods of a particular region, Sichuan being the most prominent example

Rice + vegetables passes for Chinese here

It will generally have its origins in the Guangdong area but adapted for Western taste buds. And Guangdong cuisine is essentially Hong Kong cuisine (Hong Kong wasn't really a thing until the British claimed the port).

But there are some Hong Kong foods that have arisen due to the British influence which aren't really Chinese food made British, but British food made Chinese I think

That sounds great tbh.

If you must know I had MILF head last week purely based on my face (Tinder).

Imma let you finish but Pakistan had one of the best tinder teams of all time just a couple of weeks ago

 

[Athlai]

Wait, yall actually don't know what Hong Kong food is? WTF

There's more of that here too, but still definitely far from the norm. And obviously all this changes completely if you go to Burwood or what have you where Chinese migrants have set up.

this this this this this this this this

never really do i have "chinese" food, in the way most westerners know it at least. all about getting down and dirty with the most authentic chinese streetfood places the city has, and when you're in the know, there are a few. much better than the westernised MSG + salt hubs that gwailous fall for every time. you get some really poppin and obscure flavours and ingredients tbh

I just assumed so but yeah I think he did confirm one time

You've gotta be ****ing kidding me. Such a nothing ball and a nothing shot.

What a waste of a double hundred Smith.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I assume in Australia these are things like "soy sauce" and "sesame oil"

 

[Spark]

I'm kind of not surprised by that tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Smith. That's woeful
