Finally! Another Tempura fan.

Is anyone brave enough to try Natto? :evil:

Not a chance.

Kimchee rocks.

The only other Asian food I've eaten is pretty much just Americanized Chinese food, which I love.

That's just fried bread dough. Gluten is the protein that makes dough stretchy when you knead it.

Mongolian barbecue kicks ass. The place I go to has one dish they serve to you skewed on a sword if you ask.

american chinese food rules in the right places - i know a little place that for not much money, makes a great sweet and sour chicken plate. Damn... *yum*

I like everything but vietnamese. Pho soup tastes like crap, same with that chilli fish sauce.

Anyone try anko before? It's a sweet bean paste that's usually inside a bun. The Japanese love that stuff. I think it blows.

I seriously live for teh asain food. I'll eat pretty much any dish served up that is asian. Sushi and dim sum being my favorites.

LOL... there's a lot of Asian food I'm sure that typical Western people would find ...um... unpalatable. I wonder if you'd take that statement back. :D

Truly excellent authentic Asian food is so hard to find in America.

I love red bean flavoring. I tried it once on a whim, and I think it's delicious. Dorayaki with tea is something I can definitely live with. Red bean flavored boba is also awesome.

The grocery store here used to sell canned red bean paste that we made some delicious things with over winter break, but they seem to have stopped carrying it. That, and the delicious canned eel with fermented black beans they had, too. Well, I'm only here for 4 months. The asian grocery stores in Boston will keep me stocked up on that stuff.
