    I noticed Kewpie now do a Sriracha Mayo - why? are people that lazy?

    I like some pork in my burgers as well.

    Also quite like chicken mince with the whole SE Asian vibe. Chilli lemongrass ginger lime

    Larb burger?

    There are a ton of youtube channels, magazines, websites etc that claim to provide fast "weeknight" recipes, and I don't think that a single one has ever washed a vegetable. Watch me prep this x inspired slaw in two minutes!

    A recent trend in American sources is to add honey or sugar to dressings, braises etc, which is just completely unnecessary and downright trashy. There is so much bad cheap restaurant food that made even more dull by adding sweetness. I know that it is a restaurant trick to add a bit of sugar to a sauce etc, but it a shitty one. A lot of food in mainland China is very bad, and ruining dishes with sugar is typical of that. They even add it to kimchi before serving.

    After all of the talk about Peaches I went there for the first time on Friday as I was in the area. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles, and not knowing how hot the spices were decided on the "hot". Very tasty but not as hot as I was expecting. Holy Cluck will be the choice next time.

    I made something like this tonight:

    Took about 15 minutes and served it in wraps with coleslaw mix and dressing. Pretty good.

    @Bones Good man. Maybe make Jacques Pepin's bean salad, a nice lentil ragu, or a roasted ratatouille to go with it.

    I got pretty excited.

    Chinese cuisine question:

    I recently had dumplings filled with cowpeas (aka black-eyed peas), which I think was the shell and pod parts fresh plants, does anyone know what they might be called? They were very good.

    Been in Malaysia Had the best single dish of my life in Penang from a Michelin bibbed street stall. A Laksa but with a broth of salted herring rather than coconut cream. The depth of flavour was amazing just kept on developing. The char koay teow with duck egg was damn fine too. Malays really know how to enjoy their food.

    What's the name? I'll definitely give it a shot next time I head over there.

    @Nepia It's a very descriptive name - Penang Road Famous Laksa.

    Just beware it's not actually on Penang Road! 5 Lebuh Keng Kwee

    Thoroughly recommend the food tour

    $60 for food in Malaysia? Oh wait, that's the food tour. Probably the single best tourist activity I did in Vietnam was the Hanoi Walking Food Tour (was about 10 years ago so $20) so it's always good to see if other food tours can measure up.

    Went to the BBQ Hut in Mangawhai at the weekend. Good operation run by a decent bloke.

    However, they had some home made fermented hot sauce - pineapple ghost pepper. It's rocket fuel, but has good flavour. I have a small pottle, it will last me some time. #heatlife or something 🙂

    @Machpants Bad habits in Paihia has.cracking food, much appreciated.

    I don't think I really get the concept of what kind of retailer they are, but hey looks like it works!

    The lamb shoulder burger was fucking phenomenal, Bonesetta was stoked with her popcorn chicken tacos too.

    100 odd bucks for those, two hazys and 3 wines. Absurd value.
