Which is better to u, Chinese or American food ? 🤔 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

@sstronaut Go to any casual Chinese resfaurant and ask for an authentic menu, I highly recommend the char xiu.

@NativePortlander1970 I often get Chinese, I'm pretty sure they only have one menu

@sstronaut You're always given the Americanized menu at Chinese places, ask for the authentic Chinese menu.

@NativePortlander1970 I will, but I'm pretty sure they don't got them

@sstronaut I have lived all over the United States over the years, EVERY casual Chinese restaurant I have gone to has had an authentic menu of traditional Chinese cuisine.

@NativePortlander1970 I said I'll do it, but you can't seem to accept my opinion

@sstronaut Your opinion means nothing when it comes to facts.

@sstronaut If you have a few Chinese friends with the right contacts, you can get invited to chinese restaurants where your friends order "off menu" special dishes specially prepared by the chef.. Its very different..😷

@NativePortlander1970 Oh got it, you are a know it all, whom thinks their opinion is a fact, got it, not wonder you are being so stuck up

@whowasthatmaskedman I honestly haven't seen many Asians of any kind around here other than Asian restaurants.

But when I worked in the big city, the guy whom originally trained me was from Hong Kong.

I know it had to be very different, but that's why I said I don't think I'd know what they are.

Other than I was traveling for work once, and went to a Chinese restaurant and walked in and it was like I was in a different world. Everyone was speaking Chinese, it look like everyone else in the building might have been Chinese. Looked like lots of people ordering duck. I walked out as I didn't understand a single word, and I was looking for something fast and that looked like a long slow sit and enjoy place to eat

@whowasthatmaskedman What's your favorite authentic dish? I love char xiu myself

@sstronaut Like I said, you need to know the right people..I am fortunate to have had that opportunity...😷

@NativePortlander1970 I have no idea what it was called ( dont speak Mandarin) But a whole perch prepared 4 ways, still on the bone was a standout..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman When I was a kid in the 70's my Dad was an RN in a nursing home, one of the residents owned a really nice casual restaurant in a Portland suburb, he let every staff member eat there for free once a month on a day of their choosing, I always got char xiu

@whowasthatmaskedman I think my Dad always got something like that, he loved fish

@sstronaut 😂
