san franciscans are getting gentrified and sinkified, thanks the over-arching arms of the pap-inspired elites of sg. :biggrin:

its hard to replicate the characteristics of a sinkie,u gotta be poor enough to ride the poverty stench of a mrt,yet desiring the face and dignity to live the life of the atas and bourgeois by paying $6.80 for a bowl of laksa and $1.80 for a cup of coffee.

Have noted there is always a tendency for the dishes to be "Americanised", whether in terms of portions, serving and taste, for those Asian restaurants.

"poshest and largest" and "chinese restaurant" do not go together in ang moh land.

when talking about chinese food in western culture,it falls somewhere between junk food and dog food,cheap,satisfying and incredibly unhealthy like having a sundae covered with gravy and butter and sprinkled with deep fried bacon strips dipped in chocolate syrup wrapped in a taco filled guacamole and refried beans.
