I can’t agree or disagree - I’ve only spent 36 hours anywhere south of Taichung - and I was working so likely ate Taiwanese bentos/bian dang - which honestly, I don’t care for. It’s probably like when people tell me they don’t care for the HK cha chan taang sandwiches with corned beef and egg or luncheon meat and egg…

Sure you’re not seeing Dico’s? I can’t remember having seen a KRR at all - in the past 10 years I’ve flown through Beijing, Shanghai (both Hongqiao and Pudong), Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi’an, Xiamen, Lanzhou, Kunming, Shenzhen, Shenyang, and Harbin, but I haven’t been to many cities below second…

Say what? They definitely do.

I wouldn’t make either of those arguments. I think the best Chinese food in the world is in Vancouver, second Hong Kong, third Taipei, fourth Los Angeles . . . before getting into actual Chinese cities. Also, there’s a lot more salt and oil used - not even with the lack of trust in ingredients.

One thing I’ve learned is that people can have great relationships with minorities, friends, co-workers, etc. even marry or have kids with . . . and still participate in racial oppression through support of institutional racism, even unknowingly. It’s why the “I have black friends” is no defense of racism.

Obligatory.

Maybe they shouldn’t have started the conversation with “Do you speak-a my language?”

Oh you mean like they’ve had in Changi/Singapore for at least the last 20 years?

Now I really want a sandwich. That sandwich specifically.

Lies. Traffic is too bad in Houston to go above 45 mph.

Lies.

Wait . .. what? Here’s my Asian credentials: 40+ years as an actual Chinese person with time in Los Angeles, Bay Area, New York and Houston, 7 years in Hong Kong, 8 years in China. Dozens of trips to Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Korea (both Koreas), Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.

Lacob’s “Light years ahead” interview for me.

My favorite NBA team next year will be “The Field” (and that’s not just because my real favorite NBA team is trainwreck driven by a bearded stepback shooting fool who thought it would be a good idea to date a Kardashian last summer)

Well, the Kings are ahead of the curve in their draft strategy for that 3 center lineup.

And he can smuggle Bill Barnwell out too in a mass of pick and roll gifs and a treatise on how the OKC switching defense will change by adding Oladipo and losing Durant.

As someone who spent a substantial amount of time enforcing brand standards, seeing all the cards together just sets me on edge. Ugh.

The Supreme Court has ruled against prior restraint.

Oh God, it even has a watermark!

They’re a better than super market hot dog that gains a lot of extra points for being eaten in a ballpark. However, if you have tickets to the club level, you can get grilled Dodger dogs.
