So there's Ramen, Tom Yum, and Laksa for me whenever there is soup!

On the non-Asian side, I do quite like a taste of the mushroom soup, though I don't particular drink that too often.

Does rice porridge count? That one dreadful thing I have to eat when my sense of smell and taste are botched from a fever. I don't like it. >,<

Laksa is 1000000000% goodness

Agree, also there are a ton of a different kind of laksa (e.g. laksa Singapore, laksa penang, laksa sarawak, lakso, thai laksa, laksa bogor, laksa tangerang, etc)

I've had them breaded and fried, and raw on the half shell.
I prefer raw, but you need to know they are very fresh and from a reputable source.

In the restaurant next to the fishing port,fresh oysters just caught!

Had some Marmite-flavoured Walkers crisps today. They were quite nice. I've been eating Twiglets for decades, and these were very similar. Maybe slightly less strong than Twiglets though, Twiglets have more of a kick to them.

Interested to see what sort of fusions they created.

It's a Japanese/Cajun Fusion.

Sounds nice, I can already imagine the selection of dishes they’d serve.

When I hear of Chicken Noodle Soup I think about the collab between J-Hope (BTS) and Becky G

I got raw oysters from a carnival cruise. They had butter & mace, and apple mignonette. So good!

I don't really know any other type of laksa but the type I usually eat would probably be counted as Singapore laksa.
The soup is just perfection.

Fuzhou also notable for its fishball，other than that in Putian, Fujian they also has henghua noodles (興化面). I personally like henghua noodles.

That's also a nice dish too! My gf has told me that "no meal without noodle soup, or excluding soup is unacceptable!" :lol2:

Again... I should try the Fishball again... But I want my Lanzhou noodle soup first

The other noodles I love is Stewed noodles with mutton.I love mutton soup.It has a strong aroma and can stimulate taste buds more than beef broth

most of the Chinese food you get in the states is Cantonese, and it usually comes from the folks who fled China when the the PRC took over.

She has accused me of being a Sichuanese... or has told me that Northerners food are too dry... I tell her as a joke that Beijing food is the best... She'd then claim that Fuzhou food is the best

I like cold noodles too, and other noodles! I remember a dish in Shanghai with seafood? I can't recall the name of the seafood, but it was during the buffet and it had the sweet-sour taste? I can't recall the name of it. :unsure:
