Thread 21401126

I've visited all of these countries, here are my thoughts on their cuisine.

>>21401126 (OP)
what's so great about Singapore?

I feel like these threads always conflate "How good is the food in country X?" with "How good are the cuisine(s) that derive from places in country X?" which are really quite separate questions.

so not trustworthy no matter how unique or novel his opinion

vietnamese banh mi chao is pretty good

>>21401126 (OP)
Where's best korea on the list?

>vietnamese banh mi chao
You mean a sandwich with an 'exotic name'

B-b-but . . . .

>>21401157
Singaporean cuisine is like a mix of everything. It's not really unique BUT, their chicken rice clears everything.

>>21401243
its a really really REALLY good sandwich

>>21401259
hmmmm looks like the blandest dish one could possibly come up with, but maybe it tastes different than it looks?

>>21401271
It does look bland but they cook the rice differently (not really sure what they do), so the rice itself is very flavorful. You can seriously just eat the rice by itself.

Yellow people don't season their food.

Swap China and Vietnam as well as Japan and Philippines and I'd agree. Vietnamese restaurant food is good Vietnamese home cooking is challenging for foreigners.

huh?

>>21401157
Laksa is top tier noodles

You don't really "experience" Filipino food in a restaurant setting. You have to know someone from there to personally cook for you. Restaurant culture is dead in the Philippines.

Lame cope out for countries with subpar cuisine.

>>21401126 (OP)
Bump china up to S and I agree. Cantonese and Vietnamese foods are my favorite bar none.

>>21401126 (OP)
How dare you put 日本 so low on the list, they are easily S tier

>>21401126 (OP)
I think your list might be upside down, friend :)

t. weeb that thinks ramen and cold fish on rice are the peak of cooking

>>21401275
Here’s the secret
>rice cooked in broth
So easy a baby could do it, and yet people insist on cooking rice in water

>>21401597
Their sushi and ramen were great, but I also enjoyed lots of other stuff like a simple bowl of soba noodles made by some old guy in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. We hiked up there and ate at his small restaurant that doesn't even look like a restaurant to my gaijin eyes. Anyways, it was amazing

>>21401609
no one asked for your gay anecdote. japanese food is bland

>>21401597
>cold fish on rice are the peak of cooking
depending on the quality of the fish, it may well be. there's little in nature more tasty than fatty raw tuna

>>21401603
>>21401275
wouldnt that just make it an asian risotto?

>>21401626
You don’t know what risotto is, do you?

oh come on filipino food isnt that bad

>>21401630
rice prepared in broth until it absorbs its taste?

>>21401638
Baka malaka, no

>>21401634
a plate of pagpag for this connoisseur

>>21401597
>japanese food is only ramen and sushi
ngmi senpai, this is why your list sucks ass

>>21401647
its not all, but together with Japanese-style curry and gyudon its probably the the most actually eaten stuff

>>21401662
How many chain restaurants have you tried?

>>21401777
dont try to flex on me with obscure weeb knowledge. the most commonly eaten takeaway food in Japan *are* ramen, gyudon and Kare raisu. maybe also yakitori and tempura. thats really most of what there's to it.

>vietnam above China, Thailand, and Japan

It is unironcally the case with Flip food. The closest thing you can get to taste authentic flip food as a tourist are low-class eateries/diners and they are absolutely garbage compared to the averahe Flip homemade cooking. Restaurants are treated as pure novelties or only made for the tourist's pallete there. They never really took off because virtually everyone knows how to cook.

South east asian food is overrated
there I said it

There's a mom and pop filipino market in my neighborhood that sells cooked food sometimes, the stuff I've tried from there is top-tier comfort food. Some of it looks pretty bad though 2bh.

>>21401855
Why didn't you come to Japan and try any of the chains?
Have you ever really been to Japan? Or were you scared in the hotel because you don't speak Japanese?
And we don't often take ramen or tempura home with us, because it's food we enjoy freshly cooked.
If it's tendon, we would take it home.

>>21401855
Why did you come to Japan and not try any of the chains?
Have you really ever been to Japan? Or were you scared in your hotel bed because you don't speak Japanese?
Besides, ramen and tempura are foods to be enjoyed freshly cooked, so I don't often take them home with me.
If it were tendon, I would bring it home.
