I used to take semi-regular trips to Ningbo for work and know the exact mall you are talking about. I am definitely trying to hit up that sushi place to see this poo poo in person next time.

You work in toys or crafts? Ever stay at the intercontinental? My boss stupidly tried ordering a vodka tonic from a waitress in the restaurant there and it took about one hour and a dozen people to figure out the request. Everyone in Ningbo is like aggressively confused.

Edit: I tried to use a credit card in a gift shop once and the cashier literally ran away.

how is philly cheesesteak even a recipe, sliced steak with cheese spread on bread is what you do when you're drunk as hell at home and desperately need something in your stomach before you sleep.

The weirdest aspect is that everywhere you encounter a "Philly cheese steak" it is a beefy cheesy sandwich with green peppers. But in actual Philly, America's 5th largest city, a cheesesteak will never have green peppers. Ever! So you travel a bit and you start to question your reality. "Does a cheesesteak actually have green peppers?" The rest of the country is gaslighting Philly people. And why?? I don't know why. It's not a better sandwich with green peppers.

There's nothing with onions in it that isn't improved by green peppers.

Beside also just wanting to be able to poop after eating a pound of meat, bread, and cheese but that's secondary.

Green peppers (all bell peppers, actually) taste like sour mold. I have no idea why anyone willingly eats them.

No, I work in automotive and we have a supplier just outside the city. We always stay in the Howard Johnson on the east side of the city when we go since they have a rate deal with the supplier. We also have a interpreter/chaperone from the supplier when we leave the hotel so we don't really have any issues. We get treated really nicely because my parent company has a huge business deal with them, and one of the Japanese managers who goes with us has in laws in the upper ranks of the PLA.

I've only used cash when I go except at the hotel, and the big international chain hotel loving struggled to use my card in all but one trip.

Shake Shack Japan stopped selling Chicago style hotdogs and I genuinely had a negative reaction like you would if you lost your wallet.

Philly Cheesesteaks outside of Philly are significantly better since no cheesewiz, especially with Green Peppers or Jalapenos. If I can get some mushrooms up in that even better.

I had a NYC dirty water hot dog and it loving sucked rear end. It was like a Bar-S hotdog on a half torn bun. I'm still really upset about that and I am completely convinced I just went to the wrong hot dog cart. No way it could be that bad.

Mushrooms on a cheesesteak bump it up to another level.

do you really have to put cheese wiz on a philly? that poo poo looks like the opposite of what i want to put on any decent meat i purchase

though i kinda think it would be fun to get some sodium citrate like the serious eats mac n cheese recipe, get some quality cheddar or gouda or something and make "homemade" cheese wiz for cheese steaks

It works. It hits the flavor profile. Don't question what works.

But sure, why not? It's your goddamned steak.

Dandywalken posted:

Nah wiz def isnt mandatory
It isn't, but if you're going to be going to go for duplicating it, or if it's your first ever, it's best to go for the benchmark first.

Once you have a sense of the flavor & texture profile, Then go wild.

zedprime posted:

I don't know if the chipped fried meat is necessarily meant to be decent meat. It's a few extra chops away from being downright loose.
No. Don't gently caress with the meat.

It's ribeye, and it's chipped. Nothing else tastes right.

Is there a name for the psychological phenomenon that is getting really particular about sandwiches?

I wanted to be very sanctimonious about this not happening in the culinary capital of the US, Louisiana, because our main dishes are like sure, add a raccoon, it'll probably be fine. But then I remembered there are fights about the correct bread for a po boy which is otherwise the least creative sandwich you could put together in New Orleans.

The cheesesteaks were fine. Obviously not exactly Philly but they met expectations.

Things I learned:

- Thin out the wiz somehow. It was delicious but too thick even after heating it up

- Next time get mushrooms. I'm a moron for forgetting that

- Use a flat grill to cook the meat next time. We just got a new outdoor grill and I don't think to use it yet lol. I think it has a flat grill attachment/option

- I know green peppers aren't a thing with cheesesteaks but my wife and I like them. First sandwich had just onions and wiz but I made another half sandwich and added peppers and it was fine


They will definitely be better next time.
