Asian desserts fucking suck lol, only the west has made good sweets

This is topologically equivalent to a crepe
You know that, right

>>21441710 (OP)
The west is also fat

Milk candy is delicious and Asian in origin. There's also
uh

nothing else comes to mind. Huh

Yeah well when your reference food is plain white rice then everything contrasts as delicious ambrosia

>>21441712
No it isn't.
>>21441710 (OP)
Correct, though we make pretty good adaptations of western sweets.
>>21441726

man i love me those sweet red bean filling that these slants put in their deserts

>>21441748
And you've clearly never made either, nor American pancakes for that matter, if you think the batters are really that similar. I guess black forest gateau is a crepe too lmao

Come to Malaysia, the fattest country in Asia. We like to eat our pancakes with peanuts, bananas, chocolate and cheese

mochi is good thobeit

>>21441812
Come to Indonesia, where we didn't even bother with the pancakes and just batter the pisang, goreng it and serve with coklat dan keju.

>>21441817
Come to the Netherlands were they take Indonesian food and just bread and deep fry it.

the western desserts i had in japan or south korea were much tastier and more refined than the crappy desserts in us

>>21441828
except for Cinnabon, r-right?

>>21441827
That's just Indonesian food lmao
Seriously, pisang goreng is already battered and deep-fried.
>>21441829
Dear me, no. They never taste as good as they smell.

>>21441736
Yes it is.

>>21441834
Wrong.

>Asian desserts fucking suck lol, only the west has made good sweets
They suffer from lactose intolerance. I went to a really lovely korean cafe and bakery in NYC's ktown, and the recipes were classically french, but with dairy substitutions such as the sweetened bean pastes. A for effort, just 2nd tier no matter what.

Milk candy is delicious, and I adore the honeydew Milkita the most. But, it's a miniscule amount of dairy, which is all you see in asian cuisine.

>>21441843
I don't get that Koreans are lactose intolerant, their modern foods are full of cheese and whipped cream

>>21441854
excluding central asians, they are the only asians who have traditionally consumed dairy products despite having no contact with the west.

>>21441854
Cheese has almost no lactose, it gets broken down by enzymes and drained off during the cheesemaking process. Most people can consume a little bit of lactose especially when paired with food even if they're lactose intolerant, so you'd have to consume like a quart of whipped cream to maybe have an issue and by that point you'd be more likely to get an upset stomach from all the fat first.

Lactose intolerance mostly just matters when drinking fresh milk, everything else is less likely to cause problems.

>>21441741
Anon... These are Portuguese... Like tempura and japanese bread

>>21441863
anyone can drink lactose, you just shit liquid afterwards
it's not peanut allergy

>>21441817

>>21441741
pathetic weeb at least get it right

>>21441723
Mochi

>>21441710 (OP)
Asian seems a bit broad here. Chinese deserts are a lot different than Japanese.

>>21443409
Extremely overrated. Sucks unless it's filled with ice cream, and even then ice cream is much better as is, as a sandwich, as a popsicle, as ice cream cake, in a sundae, on a brownie, or on top of a pie than it is as mochi

>>21443418
Are you telling me these peanuts are coated with Japanese?

>>21441710 (OP)
Tried the red bean paste bun for the first time. It was very disappointing after how much it was built up in anime. Just a very grainy mildly sweet paste.
I'm sure part of it had to do with it being made in a factory and shipped halfway around the world and sitting for weeks to months.
I bet a fresh warm one would taste better, but I'm still searching for that asian treat that really hits. Everything but raman so far has been disappointing.

>>21441710 (OP)
They are too sweet for me but knowing the cornstarch chugging babies on this board you should be all over middle eastern desserts

Well, we have flan, and our flan is made with both eggs and milk, not made from a box mix that omits both.

>>21443471
Honestly, take it from a demichino: red bean paste is garbage unless homemade. It's easy as fuck go mane from scratch, too, and no: it doesn't specifically have to be red mung beans. You can use red kidney with little, if any at all, discernible difference.
I make it vegan, not for any particular reason other than we've always got coconut oil in the house and seldom ever have lard. Just boil the beans, press them through a sieve to deskin them then cook in a pan with a little coconut oil (or lard), sugar, water and a pinch of salt. That's literally it. I have no idea what the shopbought version of something so simple is so awful but it is.
I spread that shit on toast, stuff it into crepe rolls, stuff it into compressed rice (lepet isi selai kacang merah), eat it as a layer in shave ice or just eat with a bread roll. It's good shit homemade. I use vanilla sugar in mine, which makes it uniquely delicious but do what you want.

>>21444253
PUDDI PUDDI MOTHERFUCKER

>>21441710 (OP)
Asians make good bread, I like its subtle sweetness and fluffiness, but yes, their desserts, for the most part, absolutely suck. Jap desserts are terrible (niggas eating beans lol), all of SEA eats soup (lmao) for dessert and Koreans have some of the worst most flavorless pastries imaginable. Chinese make ok ones, the cream stuffed buns are pretty good

Wagashi is one of the only things I like about Japanese food actually. They're very pretty and tasty but underrated. They are dying out in favor of western desserts even with Japanese people. Everyone's always favoring West about everything, even the Japanese. Sad.

>>21441710 (OP)
In Asia, desert is mostly just fruit

>>21444550
You'd think they'd be sweet but they taste like mealy chestnuts

>>21441710 (OP)
Have you tried their cup of beans?

>>21441828
I heard otherwise, they are less sweet though and some people prefer that

>>21441712
the topology isn't the issue, the fact that it's filled with fuckin bean paste is

>>21443511

Mexico calls it Japanese Style.

Lactose is the sugar in milk, so heavy cream and cheese are safer. Skim milk would make them explode since all the milk fat is taken out to make heavy cream

Also chinese jujube cakes are top tier and I'll Hiroshima anyone who disagrees

>>21441741
They literally call these Portuguese tarts in China.
>>21441710 (OP)
All Asian pastries are modeled off European ones. Taiwan was a Dutch colony. Hong Kong was a British colony. Macau was a Portuguese colony. Qingdao (formerly spelled Tsingtao) was a German colony. Ever hear of Tsingtao beer? Europeans brought pastries and beer to Asia and Asians loved both.

I thought so as well until I tried mochi and specifically the red bean one. God tier.

The west will never make anything even close to equivalent to this

>>21450865
it's mid. ice cream mochi (american invention) is significantly better.

>They're disgusting
lmao this is some advanced form of shit taste, who tf hates sweet bread of all things?

>>21441710 (OP)
mochi is kinda alright but that's it.

our desserts probably aren't sweet or greasy enough for Westerners to enjoy.
also we just tend to eat fruits for dessert.

>>21451622
imagine saying that when koreans add way too much sugar in just about every dish.

Southeast Asia is the place for good desserts

>>21451484
>>21451622
Nothing to do with sweetness, I just don't like dry cookie type stuff, same reason why I also don't like Mexican pastries. I like rice cooked in coconut milk like they do in Thailand

>>21451678
Melon pan is just normal bread, but the crust is made out of cookie dough, the ones you buy from the store taste like stale bread covered in cookies, it's dry alright.
Ideally you want to make it yourself and eat it fresh out of the oven, then the bread is very airy and practically melts in your mouth, the cookie crust is just there for the initial taste as you bite into it, the bread is what makes the dish, and it will already go dry by the next day so gotta eat it fast.

>>21451668
>no roti aiskrim
Bad list.
And if we're allowed hot desserts, I quite like kolak campur. It's a sweet, pandan-flavoured coconut milk soup with various fruits and sweet tubers. It often has banana (pisang), sweet potato (especially purple one; ubi), palm fruit (buah lontar), pumpkin (labu/labu kuning; omitted if using orange sweet potato) and jackfruit (nangka).
Since it's palm sugar sweetened, it's suitable for vegans but vegans are terrible, awful people and don't deserve to eat something as good as kolak.

>>21451494
It's plain bread with sugar cookies glued to it. I hate sugar cookies.

>>21451757
>I hate sugar cookies
Understandable.
Normal unsweetened bread goes well with sweet things when fresh, like bread + watermelon is a classic combo here in Europe and using cookie crust is basically the same concept, and it's a more nuanced taste than normal sweet bread that is sweet all around. It has to be fresh though, so store-bought ones tend to suck.
I wouldn't eat sugar cookies on their own either desu

>>21443476
baklava, my beloved

>>21451755
They sell this at the Asian store here, it's really good. Sometimes I buy the mix which also has jackfruit, red beans and some white palm fruit.

I tried that red bean paste today. It was in asort of hot dumpling.

>>21445770
There's also chocolate flavor, custard, etc

>>21452006
And yet there's not a single westerner that would assert a chocolate croissant is anything more than a mid dessert at best even though it's still significantly better than the weeb equivalents.

>>21451869
Oh I forgot to add it was fucking disgusting.

I've always found it rather interesting just how differently the east and west utilize beans. East is mostly sweet in paste form while west is mostly savory such as in chili. The only western bean paste I can think of would be hummus, which is still savory. Pretty neat how much of a difference you can make by just dumping a truckload of sugar into a dish. Like I feel like it should be possible to make a sweet hummus but that also seems extremely wrong.

Not the people who created hummus, for one thing, you blithering fucking retard. They merely brought it to the west.

good stuff

>>21452759
I can't remember. I didn't buy them again. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Thailand has great desserts. Sweet mango sticky rice in season is incredible. The way they eat coconut ice cream is excellent, too. They make a bunch of other ones that I can't pronounce or spell or even really describe that well besides just saying that Thais understand texture in their desserts and use a lot of fun things to chew on. They make this stuff that's basically cold sweet coconut milk with all sorts of "toppings" floating in it and it is awesome.

Cake is overly light, boring, and un-satisfying in 90% of the stores I bought them from in South Korea. All the "frosting" is whipped cream or thinned out urmine.

They made really good chocolate chip cookies and decent fudge brownies in most of the coffee shops though.
