My fave Tenderloin bánh mì spot that I would never recommend to anyone unless I know (1) they don’t hate homeless people (2) they are comfortable with spaces with no English at all (3) they know how to behave respectfully towards elderly Vietnamese people who use this space as a community space and not just a restaurant.

Bánh mì with a fried egg

Being here means there are snacky flavour profiles that make sense to me (cheese wasabi)

First hour of 20 hours of travel before I get to eat delicious food, enjoy tropical weather and see my loved ones.

I’ve decided my first meal when I arrive will be ‘zi char’. Zi char is 煮炒, also known as ‘dai pai dong’ in Hong Kong, the type of Chinese high heat cooking that warms the hearts of pyromaniacs.

Until then, there’s TSA, airport experiences, airplane food (thankfully not terrible on Singapore Airlines), and travel anxiety (I hate covid-era travel, obviously)

At Hungry Ghost Festival, you’re supposed to burn ‘hell money’ for your ancestors so they can spend it in hell. Someone created a website for those of us who don’t want to / can’t start real fires

Sync for #Lemmy just dropped and it's miles apart from any other Lemmy client I've tried.

Unfortunately for my iOS friends, it looks to be available for Android only.

I'm trying a Korean "coffee tea bag", which promises to "fill your all day with fragrant coffee". It is... underwhelming.

The Owl bags from FairPrice are much better.

The #Lemmy interface is usable but rather clunky. Voyager (formerly wefwef) is much nicer

What the X just happened?!

hmm, we just found out that there’s food outside our door from last night… it was delivered wrongly and the grabfood rider didn’t come back to re-deliver to the correct person? 👀 sorry, Vicki, you paid for dinner but didn’t get it…

the order was made at 9:07pm so it should’ve been delivered at around 9:30pm? but it’s still outside our door at 7:42am 😅 (the note from Vicki said to simply leave the food outside the door hence we didn’t know and couldn’t tell grabfood rider it’s the wrong address)

My cultural programming (from Southeast Asia) means the hotter the weather, the hotter the beverage and meal I crave (temperature and spice levels)

The Apple TV series ‘Drops of God’ based on the manga of the same name is unexpectedly good. Probably the best mass media I’ve seen about wine culture that isn’t just about ‘oh look nice wine, sommeliers are cool, France is great, etc’

(The creator of the show, French-Vietnamese writer Quoc Dang Tran, is certainly someone to keep an eye on!)

How does one try to encourage a sustainable work culture that's so rooted in hierarchy?
