the peak of chinese cuisine. spicy, savory, umami, numbing. the perfect accompaniment to a steaming bowl of fluffy white rice.

They don’t have umami in China. They have a Chinese word for savory.

Mmm, yes, that's what I want from tasty food, A REDUCTION IN SENSATION.

On that note, black pepper is the only peppercorn worth a damn. The rest are memes.

Not gonna lie, that looks pretty miserable, while OPs looks pretty tasty. On the other hand, it's also not swimming in chili oil, so kind of a wash.

i prefer keeping them separate tbqh. i like having a separate bowl for the rice. i also like making mapo tofu in a clay pot so it stays hot during the course of the meal

You need to check the definition of "meme", you fucking retard.

Hint: Foods are NOT memes.

My favorite local chinese restaurant had 2 menus (they were hong kong style), and the patrons were locals who were chinese as well as a serious takeout business. I did occasionally order from the 2nd traditional menu, usually the eggplant and bitter melon choices, but most of the weird items were the various dozen or so soups. I don't need fish maws in my soups, personally.

Foods can be memes though. Remember the bacon meme? We currently have a "douse everything in sauce" food meme.
