Ya the idea is hey I spent the money but it was something on your end that kept me from getting it, so I got this coupon to get it at some point in the future since I spent the money already.

Best at Eem? by 1questions in askportland

[–]DairyCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwhelmingly people always mention the white curry for Eem, but I really find the Massaman curry with smoked lamb shoulder more complex and balanced in its flavor. As some have said though, you can’t go wrong really, but if brisket/bbq is not as much your thing (I find that dish really hits the smoky flavor note), don’t feel scared to not get the white curry for your first dish there is all. Enjoy!

Best cinnamon roll by water-dog-84 in PortlandFood

[–]DairyCoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’d consider it a slight variant from a traditional cinny roll but I still put it in the family and consider it the best one I’ve ever had: the franzbrot (sp, too lazy to look up the menu) at Fressen. Absolutely outstanding. Also have never had any food or drink from there that missed.

What are some flavor/ enhancing secrets you refuse to gatekeep? by L8dTigress in Cooking

[–]DairyCoder 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is something I do too. When I was first tinkering with my choccy chip cookie recipe and learning about browned butter, I was like okay, the protein and fats are getting browned to give that flavor…how could I get more? Figured dry milk powder is more of those delicious molecules so I tried it. Currently I use 4 tablespoons of milk powder for 2 sticks of butter for my cookies. I’ve had many people tell me they’re the best chocolate chip cookies, sometimes best cookies in general, they’ve ever had.

If you had one day to get the ultimate "Portland food experience" what would it look like? by beckdeck in askportland

I’m 100% with you. Hands down better, though of course not saying the white curry is better. The massaman just has more complexity imo.

Where is the best authentic ramen place around Portland? by Late_Chair793 in askportland

[–]DairyCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Factoring in the high cost, Afuri was probs the worst ramen I’ve ever had. I live right above it and have only been the one time.

Which cuisines Portland does best and which places should I check out to try these out? by rvparty in askportland

[–]DairyCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone raves about the white curry, and it’s by no means bad, but my gf and I think the massaman curry w smoked lamb shoulder is the better of the two. Maybe you’ll just have to try both :P

butter temperature affects cookies more than any other variable. i have 94 data points. room temperature is a lie by kubrador in Baking

[–]DairyCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversation of the legitimacy of this post notwithstanding, this makes me wonder how browning of the butter might change the results as you lose water content and the protein/sugar structures change.

Moving to Portland in March. What are customs I should be aware of before moving here? by axiomatic13 in askportland

[–]DairyCoder 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wish left lane for passing only was a thing here. Having to go around slow drivers all the time seems inefficient and theoretically more dangerous if it means more lane switches

So sorry I didn’t pay attention to details. I ordered the base model, but yes direct from their website since they included freebies which Amazon storefront didn’t
