like most geeks, nerds, and hackers, i too like spicy and asian food.
while not necessarily spicy, chinese bbq is very much asian.
and the best thing is: last week while shopping for office supplies we found one chinese bbq take-out place right next to the office max down at the stoneridge mall in pleasanton.
the place is in between the tri valley seafood reastaurant and the 1+1 chinese supermarket (which i just can’t find on the internet or even the yellow pages, must be an underground store :p).
it looks like the chinese go there too, which is a good sign ;)
you can score a nice meal with 2 bbq items (two kinds of pork, duck, chicken) and either of the two styles of noodles or rice for under $7.
even better is the amount you get, which is good for at least two meals.
anyways, if you’re not up to getting the bbq chinese style, i mean: the whole duck is hanging in the window, just waiting to get chopped into little pieces; this might not be exactly what you’re looking for.
yesterday, after watching the new bond i even got a little extra.
2x bbq & extra vegies for both & two crab soups on the house for even less than what you would usually pay for 2x bbq.
looks like they had a good day.
and here’s the question:
why even bother cooking if you can get chinese food for less money than it would take if you’d prepare it yourself?
i guess i’m really gonna miss all the yummy asian food back in germany :/

but there’s one little downside: i can’t stand those artificial friendly waiters… thank you sir… do you want anymore water sir? Do you want anything else sir? Is everything fine sir?
STFU AND JUST LET ME EAT, WILL YA! :)
none of those at the asian
none of those at the asian places i go to.
usually the only thing you get is a iced water or a refill for your hot tea.
they don’t ask, they just look at you, you give a friendly nod back, they refill, you thank em, they leave.
and since i go to places where there are actual chinese serving chinese food, koreans serving korean food, japanese serving japanese food, etc etc pp; they wont even try talking to me unless it’s the part that involves ordering and paying ;)
i’m loving it!
(wait, that was the franchise employing all the mexicans)
still one possible point of failure /debug
Thats good to hear but i fear one more spot of f*ck*ng up a perferct meal:
Chlorine Ice Cubes for pure inner cleansing. Everytime i got one of those softdrinks with more chlorine in them than in any given shady motel swimming pool (guess there are more germs in the 2nd one though) i felt like i should get out my swimming gear and blow the life guard whistle.
ye it kinda sucks
ye it kinda sucks, but i’m getting a feel of it.
sad but true. the mind altering drugs in the tap water are getting me! help!
anyways, my first week here my boss took me out to a place that served awesome sandwiches. and as always, i take my soft drinks without ice cubes.
that day was the first and last time i’ve ever drunken sprite in the US.
the sprite alone tasted chlorine-ish.
yuck.
i wonder if anyone ever
i wonder if anyone ever looked into the side effects of chlorine binding with other chemicals …aaaanyways. at least your white clothes stay bleached :)

someone needs to learn to click “reply” and not mess up the threads…
afaik most Asians regularly go out to eat because it’s so cheap and fast. They don’t have the time nor a large enough kitchen to cook for themselves. The richer ones probably have reals chefs, but the rich ones don’t count…
exactly, that’s what my
exactly, that’s what my coworkers told me (both asian)
“well, that’s what happens when you go out with asians, they eat all the time”
haha
i kinda like that :D
