Pretty much this.  I regularly tell restaurants around here "not Minnesota spicy" or when I'm traveling "not white people spicy".  None of the Asian or Latino restaurants give a shit, in fact most times, they'll recommend different spices.  Black (barbecue) will still hesitate unless I'm a regular, then I just tell them to put the hot sauce on the side.

Yeah, they won't get offended if you tell them you mean the real spicy. Especially if you are/become a regular.

They're just afraid of some cac making a mistake then bitching about it, for similar reasons, that's why the back half of the menus are never in English to stop some cac from ordering off it not knowing it's actual Chinese food, not Chinese-American food.

Once they know you're cool they won't give you any trouble. "On the side" is a good way to ease your way in.

I do agree with porkbun that black places will be more leery of this than immigrant places though. There was a creole place in the city a decade or so ago that me and another cac friend would go to, they only made two dishes a day so there were no real choices outside of that and we'd always get stares from the customers when we went in until the woman started saying "hi boys" and signaling to them it was okay when we came in. :lol

There's a slight difference. Whites don't spice their food at all and black people laugh at them, which is funny to asian immigrants watching usa black people toss store bought pre-mixed lemon pepper seasoning and hot sauce as if its some huge culinary flex.

Depends on the whites, Italians use a lot of spice (as well as Greek, Hungarian, Spanish, French). Not spicing food seems to be more of a northern European thing, not just a generalized white thing...

That was (sort of) my point. Everyone's wrong and people all over the world season food in different and good ways.

My dad used to be just like that, "white people food is so bland", hence the joke, but he just grew to realize it's different.

It's just silly when black people drag whites for not seasoning food, when they clearly do.

it's just anglo """cuisine""" that needs to be laughed at

Black people are like that because we over-season food with salt and sugar which is why so many black people while proud of their “seasoned food” also did young to heart disease and have feet cut off due to beetus

This thread has me confused.

Are we using spice/spicy and seasoned interchangeably? I don't care for super spicy food (i like a little spice, not to the point where it covers the actual taste), but i don't see how that relates to using other kinds of spice/seasoning.
Maybe i'm losing something in translation here.

Food that’s spicy as fuck man.

The seasoned topic just comes naturally. What Esch was saying is that black people tend to brag our shit is better seasoned than white peoples and that white people don't season their food. They also act like they can handle spicy food when their idea of spicy is usually just hot sauce. It’s related to different cultures seasoning differently and having different spice thresholds.

Tbh you also adapt to tastes over time, back and forth.
When on a diet a couple of years back, i used to eat veggies with almost no condiment (little to no oil, very little salt) and at first it tasted like shit, but over time i got used to it, and started to become more sensible to flavors.
Same goes for sugar on sweets and desserts.

Title: Re: How do I tell the Asian restaurant to make spicy food?
Post by: porkbun on September 18, 2019, 01:44:56 PM
Depending on the vegetable, you may need very little in the way of seasoning.  I have a vegetable garden and I will eat most of the stuff from there plain and it has tons of flavor.  I think a lot of what people eat is so overprocessed that it becomes basically bland mush that you have to add a lot of salt, hot sauce, etc to get any sort of taste.  That's what happened to me.  I used to think Taco Bell was spicy (yeah yeah I know heresy) until I went to college and had to eat shit cafeteria/fast food all day every day.  At that point I learned about different condiments/spices and would bring them in to make the food at least edible.

A lot of "ethnic" food is basically cheap stuff that people have learned how to spice to make it taste like something other than wet veggies/tough meat.

I’m a weeb but Japanese food seems the worst of Asian food from my experience.

Thai curry > Japanese curry
Vietnamese flan > mochi

Japanese food is okay. I said nothing of its spiciness. But I haven’t seen any evidence Japanese food is better than Thai, Vietnamese, or Indian yet. Japanese food just seems better marketed. But hey maybe it tastes better on the west coast, Hawaii, and japan. I love sushi but that’s about it.

And spiciness is absolutely a flavor. It compliments flavor actually.

The strength of great Japanese food imo is not powerful spicing but intense care put into ingredient prep, cleanliness, and quality. That's why kaiseki, shojin ryori and sushi are best Japanese food to me, it takes that philosophy of insane attention to detail to a limit.  The more.... casual food isn't as interesting to me, though a lot of it's good too.

Yeah I like the formalized artistic nature of some Japanese food which is why I love sushi. Their more modern stuff doesn’t impress me. I do like matcha ice cream tho.

I’d like to try Melopan tbf.

My main issue with Japanese food is the modern popular stuff that are always hyped up. Like Ramune isn’t that good, neither is pocky, ramen, mochi. I just end up disappointed. I’m not even big on miso soup. It’s okay but I prefer the soup at my Vietnamese/Thai places. Their curry is okay but never leaves me wanting more.

The Indian curry places in Vietnam are top notch, we have a very large Indian population in SA so I'm very used to curries, but those were just next level Indian food. The problem in my town is people make food for whitey, while if you go to Durban they make it so spicy you can blast off right into space if you merely smell it, i mean like why should ordering a bowl of vindaloo be a life threatening experience?  :doge

Shabu-Shabu is fine, in my opinion.

A lot of Japanese cooking seems to focus on water or using it in their cooking. It depends on how strongly you can "stomach" that, I guess, but I'm fine with it.

Today was the last straw and I decided to stop going to my (formerly) favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

I go there at least once a week or twice a month. It's by far my favorite restaurant and they make the best pho/spring rolls I've ever had. I always tip well. One time for Christmas a few years ago I gave one of my waiters that I was on first name basis with a 20 dollar tip. I even tip when I do take out. A dollar or two to support my favorite place.

Today I ordered curry chicken and asked that there be less coconut milk, and more curry, and make it thai spicy. I get it and half of it is milk, it's not spicy at all. It tastes more like milk than curry. I sit there and wait for someone to come to my table. No one comes for twenty minutes. Back when the place first got started, people checked on your after maybe a few minutes after getting your meal to see how it was. Nope. When I finally got a waiter, he looked at me despite not eating my food and looking dissatisfied, and was about to walk off before I asked for him to come.

I asked them to spice it up and they kind of just gave me a big cup of chilli oil.

I mixed it in and ate it. It was okay. No one came to give me a check.

So I decided to go to the front and pay there that way. Keep in mind, they had plenty of wait staff and the place was only a quarter full.

The past few times I went they would still give me cold treatment despite being a regular. Dude would just hand over my receipt without so much as a thank you for coming. My service was substandard. My orders are gotten wrong all the time. Last time I asked for chicken pho and extra spicy with some flan as a dessert. Dude came over with a meat lover pho with extra flank. No flan. I had to completely redo my order. It's like that every time I go now and despite the fact I keep giving good tips (5 bucks or more for 12 dollar totals) they still don't seem to ever recognize me and give substandard service.

Today when I went to pay, for the first time since I was a teenager, I wrote 0 next to tip. I tip ALL THE TIME even if the service is horrendous because of the fact that black people often don't tip. Today I wrote a small note explaining that they had lost a customer. Keep in mind that this was at 4 pm on a Saturday, when they're usually full. Seems they're losing more customers than me.

Looks like I need to find a new place that sells good pho.

Sounds like management changed. That shit happens.

Had a vegan place I would frequent at least once or twice monthly, like you. Owner sold to a new one to move to another city/state. Owner makes the same food, which is good, but the service is subpar: Owner is a total asshole to customers/etc.

Long-story short: Place closed down within a year of the owner (after a 3 year celebration party where they anounced the change in owners!) sold the place.

Then like the same place is still a vegan place that got took over by new owners that took forever to make shit and lost customers to where they closed down and now it's... back to being an Indian place that the old-old-old owner bought it from. :/

Anyway, that's to say this shit happens all the time in the restaurant biz, hon.
