Its funny, I love Asian food, primarily Chinese, but Viet and Thai as well, they make excellent soups. But when our kids moved out my wife and I cant order their food without ending up eating leftovers for a week.
Their portion sizes are like they're designed for an Asian wedding or something, completely impossible for 2 people and I hate wasting food.
"Dinner for 2" will feed like 6 humans. Its madness.
"I'd like some fried rice please. No, I dont intend to feed the entire Southeastern Asian Peninsula, they can keep some of it for their own purposes."
This is 1 order of salt & pepper seafood? Are you serious? What...did you scrape the entire South China sea for this? Am I putting some fisherman's kids through College? What is going on here? No reasonable pair of humans could eat all of this!
Same with going to Dim Sum, I love it. the food is delicious. But when you only order 3 dishes they start looking at you like they're suspicious.
Only 3 dishes?
I cant order more...you're going to have to roll me out of here to a Hospital after this as it is, I cant have more!
My wife used to work with a Chinese man and on weekends he would invite us along with his elderly father to Dim Sum, again, which I love.
"This is the real Dim Sum!"
But the looks we got when we stopped at 3 or 4 dishes? It was like we had 3 heads.
How can you eat all of this? This is so much food!
These guys were like 110 pounds a piece and they'd just pack it away. I have no idea how they could eat that much.
Whereas me? I'm just thinking: "Just take me into the park and roll me into the river...I've had a good run. If I die on dumplings then I die on dumplings...etch it onto my tombstone."
"Here lies Locke. He loved Dumplings. They did not love him back. Thems the breaks."
