I love these! I had some left over and decided to do the same, just oil and salt and they are as addicting as popcorn!

Thereās a great food court near me. Itās dangerous though. Want Shanghai? Done. Roast pork? Done. Singapore lahksa? Done. āCanadian Chinese food?ā Nope, not happening.
Itās an easy and delicious way to spend a million dollars. Order one dish from each place.
And dim sum at 3am is hopping. At least it was precovid.

@Foreigner that reminds me of the time I went to Pacific Mall.

Iām taking about first markham place but pacific mall is a very close second. Thereās a guy there who pulls noodles by hand. You can hear him slapping them on the counter halfway across the mall.

You see that all around here. The Bay Area is the staple for food in general I feel especially Asian food. My go to AMERICAN Chinese restaurant is called Handpull Noodle. But the best noodle around here is the GLASS NOODLE.

One has the choice.
It depends on the mood. If I had to choose right now it would be a mee goreng and maybe a rendang.
Shit thereās a place around the corner that does only tofu dishes and their ma po is delicious and will burn your face off.
Even grocery stores make decent dim sum.
And stupid me ate a kielbasa sandwich for lunch
Edit - and Iād have a halo halo for dessert because itās so hot.

I miss the Vegan Thai place on Danforth near Greenland. Run by a family and the elder gent always suckers you into getting their pumpkin soupā¦ which was sooo good it wasnāt a hard sell.
Being allergic to fish and not eating shellfish there is so much great food I canāt try in the city but this place made glass noodles with tofu āshrimpā and other such fixings so good Iād get 2 orders to make sure I had it around for a few daysā¦ maybe.
Best part was there was a Halifax Donair joint a few shops down the street so I could order a Donair, go pickup tomorrows Thai food, and eat the Donair that night

Iāve only been here once but it was a very good experience.
Rastafarian vegan food. Very tasty.
A hop skip and a jump
I said āI donāt know what to order could you just do me a selection?ā And they gave me a bit of everything.

Now weāre talking. What do you know about Masakan Padang, temanku?
2 Likes
Not too much really. Thereās some overlap but in a different lifetime I was married into a Malay/Chinese/Philippine family.
A quick google reminds me of nasi lemak, fermented shrimp beans, and various curries/coconut stuff.
Man I love those little fried anchovies.
I think mee goreng might be Indonesian/have an analogue.

Yes, sir. Rendang is also from the Padang region of Sumatra, Indo. Youāre a savvy guy mentioning nasi lemak. Lots of crossover between Malay and Indo culture, cuisine, and lexicon. If you ever find yourself in that part of the world, a meal at a Masakan Padang is a must. Just think of a buffet, but all ethnic cuisine and CHEAPāš»

Cheers man it sounds great. I expect I would try a few dishes and go āI know exactly what this is.ā
Mrs Foreigner almost married a guy from Singapore so we both share a love for the cuisine.
I used to get enlisted to make hundreds of lumpia for gatherings. Never did get the hang of it and they were all ugly 
Weāre spoiled for food in this city. Not just reasonable facsimiles of food but actual great stuff. Except Jamaican patties. Iāve never had a good one outside of Jamaica.

Iāve heard great things about the culinary offerings of Toronto and Vancouver (I think I remember seeing youāre from the former). Thatās always a perk of a quality location imo. If you love food, and a vast array of cuisine, it helps to have options. Weāre blessed here to have incredible Vietnamese and Ethiopian due to the large number of immigrants. Drive a couple hours west and you canāt find either.
Singapore has amazing food also. Not just local, but slamming Indian, Arab, Thai, Malay, and the list goes on. One of my favorite places in the world.
Dude, cheers to you for even stepping up to make lumpia in masses. Those of us that donāt have Filipino hands canāt roll them as quickly or uniform. Always A+ for effort though.

We are very lucky in Toronto. In Vancouver I had sushi from a convenience store that might just be the best sushi Iāve ever eaten. From a convenience store!
Vietnamese is good too and there are lots of Korean places popping up that are great.
We are spoiled for choice. Like thereās the Malay place that is good and the Malay place that used to be good.
Iāve spent time in the southern US and Central America so every once in awhile I want to eat their food too. Thereās a Salvadoran place that is authentic, cheap, and exactly what I was looking for. I have high/impossible expectations so itās nice when they are met.
My parents used to force me to eat āweirdā food when I was very young so my palate has always been open to new things.
Iāve got Sichuan peppercorns in my pantry. Itās the only anesthetic food I know. It hides the heat of peppers so you can eat more
Cheers man - I could fry them no problem but the roll/tuck, no go. I would eat them as fast as I could make them and thatās a no no

Regular Mac & cheese and a big spoonful of your favorite Patakās (mine is Madras) curry.
Oddly great!
