American Chinese food. I want a Number 6 with crabpuffs and an egg roll.
Punjabi pizza.
sausage gravy and biscuits, actually crispy bacon
Kebab pizza.
– Fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce – Mu shu pork at Chinese restaurants
Hk style Roast pork with crispy skin
Rendang beef that isn’t a curry dish
Steamed prawns straight from the ocean
the kfc regional menu from my home country
proper spicy food
I felt joy finally finding a Panda Express only to feel deep sadness in learning ginger beef is a Canadian fake Chinese Chinese food.
Just fish and chips, really. *Proper* fish n’ chips from a chippy. A dirty great pile of chips all glued together and with a massive fish slapped on top, all big enough to feed a small army.
And now I’m hungry.
#MEXICAN. FOOD. TRUCKS.
Andouillette AAAAA
I’ve got surprising good restaurant choices in my area (large city, outside Tokyo).
American Chinese food, for one. I have a great Chinese place by me, but Japanese Chinese.
I have a good Mexican restaurant near me, and I know the owner personally, makes good tacos and nachos… but I’d like some chile rellenos, tamale, and Mexican rice and beans–or something like that. I can make, generally, most of that stuff… but it isn’t the same experience.
American Italian food, served family style. This is one that I tend to make a ton of at home because ingredients here are plentiful for it.
Sometimes I’d like some American bakery stuff, or hispanic bakery stuff. Not the deadly sweet frosting, but solid and heavy cakes, substantial cheesecakes and whatnot. Many Japanese sweets are heavily french inspired so they’re light, fluffy, super soft…
Artichokes
Probably South American food overall not many here and hard to import im guessing. But sushi, ramen, tempura I miss when I go overseas so it is how it is.
Caribbean rotis and doubles!
Chick Fil A
In rural Japan you can’t get much. Even in Tokyo you have like one of these places in the entire city.
American Chinese food (Panda Express is a joke)
Halal carts and food
Chinese Dim Sum with the carts
Pho (99% of the pho I’ve had in Japan is not good)
Regular Mexican food that isn’t over priced tiny tacos. And underwhelming to most but oddly enough I miss the hell out of Quiznos or other hot sandwich and philly cheese steak shops. Also Del Taco….sweet sweet Del Taco….
Authentic Mexican food that I don’t have to cook ðŸ˜
Soft shell tacos, and Indonesian sweet chili sauce.
Some good ass southern food. I miss pigs feet and collards. Ive been thinking about looking into growing some collard greens in japan. I live in the burbs of Osaka and havent been able to find anything besides this Cajun place
I do like karaage but I do also miss a good southern fried chicken.
A parma and a pint.
Costco fries that came with gravy.
Italian Combo Sub/Grinder/Hoagie and Bacon, egg & cheese on a Kaiser roll.
Food in Japan is off-the-charts good, but yeah, good Mexican food hard to come by.
Artichokes (esp. artichoke hearts dipped in melted butter, mmmmm)
I love ice cream and I really miss American sundae places.
Like Baskin Robbins is fine, and some places have sundaes, but not like America. I want a 1200 calorie peanut butter Sunday with Reese’s cups and chocolate. Killing yourself with fatty goodness is the American way 😂
Fucking feijoada
I miss Pho.
I know there are Vietnamese restaurants in Japan, but they (the ones near me anyway) feel somewhat Japanified or something.
No. Im not Vietnamese. I’m Aussie (I love the Vietnamese food near where I live) I also lived in Vietnam for 2 years.
A decent poutine with actual poutine cheese and poutine gravy.
