A family meal two decades in the making
One of the things I learned when I went back to Taipei after nineteen years absence was that my moms still got lots of family there! My uncles and just everyone over there in general were super friendly to us and helped us with everything. I felt a bit guilty after the trip because I waited so long to go back. Sometimes you don't need a reason to visit the mothership. Sometimes you should just go, and afterwards, realize it was calling and sending out a 'come home' signal the whole time. E.T. had it right, I did not. But my lack of awareness never is an excuse not to stuff my face with more food. A few hours after our awesome xiao long bao meal at Din Tai Fung, we had dinner with the family. It was at this place that used to just...

Sandwiched Review: Eating sandwiches at Sandwiched
Life imitates art. That's the saying, right? Growing up the way I do, the way I look at the world works as follows: If I see a fancy restaurant make a familiar dish, then the fancy restaurant is trying to copy the familiar dish to 'elevate' it for an average joe like myself. It never occurs to me that fast food sometimes does the same thing. I was reading on Freakonomics.com about copyright laws for the fashion industry. For the fashion industry in the U.S., it's normal for knockoff companies to make stuff fashioned after what's hot. It should make sense for restaurants to do the same thing. So when I saw the chicken schnitzel sandwich at Sandwiched, I immediately thought of the chicken sandwich at Burger King. Check it. You have a submarine shaped bread, fried chicken, some greens, and boom! Super awesomeness. Sure, the...

Filet o Fish is buy one get one free now
Filet o Fish is back! That's right, better than ever. Actually that's not true. Since it's McDonald's, it's probably same as before because they're robotic and precise like that. I'm not sure what inflation was last year, but if it was like 4% the way it was during the awesome times, I would bet the sandwich gets 4% smaller. But seeing as inflation isn't doing much lately, I'm going to assume the 2012 incarnation of Filet o Fish is exactly like last year's. In the New York City the deal we get is buy one get one free. At the one nearest to me, that came out to $4.13 tax-included. And if you use a points credit card that values points at around a penny per point and one dollar = one point, the deal is even better because then it's $4.09. Do I count...
