Miso pork belly and fries; The bowl of industrial waste like thing is spinach oatmeal with pork sauce, plus nice "Koskue" gin which has been kept in shelf for 2 yr.

[AoRun]

Let me see your Christmas dinner

[AqD]

What's yours? I miss Filipino food!

[AqD]

Stop being lazy everyone, I need more food choices to fill my empty life!

There is finally some real Cantonese restaurant I found:

On the bowl is eggplant baked half a hour then cooked with leftover meat sauce and tons of spices and then cooled by freezer - my best veggies since the restaurant doesn't have real veggies imported from HK >_<

edit: well not as good as their noodles..

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

honey marinated pork is fine, but not fat enough. should be 1/3 to 1/2 fat
curry balls have too much meat and not elastic, curry is good though, not the watery HK type
fried dumplings are too wet and not browned enough, 1/5 by japanese standard

[AoRun]

ok, do you eat this?

[AqD]

I used to! They're lovely as long as there is no :: left inside.

But they don't exist here. Nobody sell animal organs.


The closest food is smoked pig ears from Russia or somewhere east, it tastes similar after cut up into bits

[Akar]

What about long pig ears?

[Inkie]

Those are all amazing Inkie, wow

[AqD]

Cheers! I do consider food one of the best reasons to live in Osaka.

Sure, gyoza are piss easy to cook, albeit time-consuming to prepare if you're handmaking them.

Oyakodon (the one with the egg-yolk in the middle) isn't hard at all.

Kusa Nabe ('Grass hotpot', the one with the mountain of greens) is, just like any other Japanese hotpot, extremely easy. Just throw stuff in the pot and boil it down.

I forgot the name of the other chicken dish with green onion and raw egg but I'd imagine it's not hard if you have the right ingredients (specifically very fresh chicken so you can eat it rare).

By the looks of it, I would starve to death in Japan.

I failed gyoza repeatedly with the small russian dumplings - they're either browned and hard, or not browned enough and wet. Only crystal dumplings can succeed because they still taste great if the non-browned side remains wet.

Kusa Nabe - no good veggies here...

no raw chicken! although I heard pork or beef can actually be consumed raw here; still seems risky.

By the looks of it, I would starve to death in Japan.

Blasphemy! They have the best "western food" (yōshoku), like sweet thick curry with meat sauce and fried pork with stuffed bacon and cheese 🤤

now I'm hungry again...
