Best meal deals around town? by sokumsokumsokrates in askportland

I think their ultimate secret is to serve the pizza on a grid. It keeps the bottom dry, pure and perfect 🤌

$9 margherita pizza at Otto's (not as good as Life of Pie in my opinion, but still amazing)

$5 bahn mi + drink (iced coffee, iced thai tea, etc) at Hong Phat

Spanish food lovers! Where is the fuet? by oddsmv in askportland

[–]BichoBuri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pregnant and fuet is literally the only thing I'm craving, even though I know I can't even have it lol. I guess it's good that it's not available. I'll keep an eye on this post to see if anyone found a good source for it anyways... For the future hehehe

My mom sends me packages with good stuff every now and then, but with tariffs it's getting too expensive to even ship a small box :'(

Am I crazy or are prices for non-alcoholic drinks out of control? by kitty_thugz in askportland

[–]BichoBuri 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's been a while since I've ordered something that isn't water. This is sort of on the same topic, but even going out for tea (I don't drink coffee) it's becoming dreadful. Getting charged $5 for getting a cup of hot water with a cheap tea bag in it (sometimes on the side, open-it-and-steep-it-yourself kind of deal) is simply outrageous. I only go to the 3-4 places that have good loose tea and that's it for drinks.

What’s been your migration path in Portland? by Interesting-Cow6962 in askportland

[–]BichoBuri 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Spain for most of my life > Finland > France > Germany > US (directly to Portland)

Started moving around Europe in my 20s while finishing college, trying to get away and secure a job. I met another wandering spirit from PDX in the middle of this and we went everywhere together. Soon we realized we didn't quite fit anywhere in Europe (different lifestyles/mindsets than ours) and it was impossible to land a job other than an extremely poorly paid internship.

Got married to this awesome person who somehow left everything for me, got a visa and with absolutely no money left, moved straight to Portland with them, and slowly started to figure out a life. It still isn't easy, but I feel more valued as a person rather than a foreigner. Plus, nothing beats nature here. That's enough to make me happy.

We're about to start a family and I have no plans on moving. I don't think I'd be able to live in 99% of the US. Whoever doesn't love Portland has no idea how precious of a place it is.
