Yup. It’s like people who go to Starbucks when they tour Asia. removed, you’re on vacation, go see something new.
Comment on Anon visits the Philippines
don@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Anon is a complete fucking idiot for not simply walking into a random Filipino’s house and politely asking for some homemade Filipino food. Idiot anon goes to the McD’s of the Philippines, and calls it a day. Filipinos have many insanely tasty dishes, and dumbfuck anon chooses garbage. Dinuguan (AKA chocolate meat) is my absolute favorite.

Imagine using an instance that censors ‘bitch’

huh?
VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
“Bitch”, I assume. Fits the context, and I think it’s on lemmy.ml’s forbidden word list.
TheBat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What a bitch-ass move.
f314@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m not sure whether I’m more mad about the fact that they censor the word “bitch” or that they didn’t use [redacted] as the replacement…
Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Lemmy has certain words that are hard-censored. Like hard-coded into the actual code base. I think both the r and f slurs are among them.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s the instance, not Lemmy in general.

Nah, it’s definitely valid to get fast food abroad, even if you have it at home. Sometimes they have wildly different things that you can’t get at home, or in the case of Jollibee, it’s straight up not available at home (unless home is LA). You should probably sample the more wholesome local cuisine too of course, but it’s perfectly alright stop at a Burger King in Tokyo to try the new Garlic Hokkaido burger or whatever, if that’s your jam. Let people enjoy things.

There’s jollibees in most major us cities now.
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Not… Really. I didn’t realize how much they’ve expanded as they’re definitely in more than just LA now, so I was wrong there, but they only have locations in 14 states. There’s major cities in way more than 14 states.

fair enough haha, is there an active 07scape community? I only know of one and it’s 90% updates shared by the mod, one of the few things I miss from reddit

Do this and get what looks like boiled eggs, crack open and it’s an aborted bird inside.

Run screaming in terror to Jollibee :)

Hard pass, balut is goat. Sorry, mate, I eat balut every day they come by, just like taho in the mornings. It helps if you have locals teach you how to eat balut, but some can’t deal.
And hey, all aussies love marmite, yeah? No true aussie hates the taste of a bit of marmite and buttah on toast, right?
Taho in the mornings and balut in the evenings makes the world go round. ;-)

Um, dinuguan is blood soup (root word is literally blood). I like it, but it has a pretty niche appeal, and you’ll be hard pressed to find someone that’ll serve it to a westerner.
But yeah, do yourself a favor and find a “carinderia” (or karinderya, depending on region) which roughly translates to “cafeteria” but is usually run by a sweet lady making as close as you’ll get to homemade cooking. Some dishes to try:
Or branch out! It works kind of like Panda Express where you point to the dish(as) you want (called ulam) and they’ll add rice (I recommend asking for extra). It’s cheaper than any fast food chain and way better.
frunch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This sounds awesome! Wish we had places like this in the States
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dominican places in Brooklyn can be like this. Awesome and cheap.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
The concept is becoming more popular I’m the US I think. I just found out a bunch of Puerto Rican ladies essentially run a similar concept near me recently.
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
We do, Panda Express
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No
odium@programming.dev 2 months ago
Panda express is as corpo and soulless as every other fast food restaurant.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just don’t go to the Karenderia. It’s run by a white woman that thinks she knows what she is doing, and wishes to speak to your manager.
