Nihonjin1051's trip to Philadelphia Chinatown!

[ahtan_china]

Have a nice trip.

Come to texas and have the best BBQ

The name of the restaurant was Helena Wu's. Name of the dish was 臘味煲仔飯




Really? I didn't know they grew this in Florida. Btw, fresh lychee is the best. Its good for your skin and my Zhonguoren 'mama' (my buddy's mom) told me apparently it does wonders in helping control blood pressure and cholesterol.

Any Chinese members from Guangdong can you please confirm this is real 煲仔饭？I'm afraid not....not even look like a little bit. Sorry NihonJin.....

Come to texas and have the best BBQ

Nice

You don't have to go to Chinatown for Lychees. They are grown in Florida.

Cool, I live in Fl.. I can get them here.

Actually, I like Kansas City BBQ more.

Longans taste far far better than lychees。Much healthier too（full of vitamin, protein, calcium and no cholesterol！）。

Are longons similar to lychees ?

It looks just like any other Chinatown here in Australia.

I was thinking that the prices were cheaper until I realized that they were listed in pounds instead of kilos.

Actually there are quite some differences between the two. While Kansas folks use a mix-wood, Texans use Oak primarily for the choice of wood. Gives it an evolved taste

And I like the spicy and Tangy tomato sauce over the the tomato sauce with molasses kansas guys use.

Sliced beef brisket is my fav although I do like the ribs in kansas style

You can keep me talking about food all day

I like alder for smoking steak and ribs.I like Texas brisket as well. I hope I can live in Texas. I want to work as a programmer there.

Yes but less fragrant with a round seed instead of the lychees longeroval seed

 

[Luca1]

@Providence do you have an egg for smoking? Or do you use an offset smoker?

Best place to get relocated would be San Jose. But I think there are some tech firms in Fort Lauderdale also ?

lol, here's the trick, bro, if you speak to the owners in Chinese (or for me, in my broken mandarin) they'll give you discounts. Seriously...what's up with this Chinese preferentialism ! lol! jk jk!!

Silicone valley is too expensive... I like to keep more of my money instead of giving to the bank.

Longans ! These are awesome ! But I don't think they're in season yet? You know what was also selling at the Chinese market ? Rambotans? Cantonese folks call it Huong mou daan . They were all sold out tho, unfortunately. Seriously i think its a Chinese culture thing where everyone goes out on Saturdays or Sundays to buy veggies & goods? The whole place was packed.....literally....
