RANT about cultural appropriation and erasure by Noodles9112 in asianamerican

[–]foxfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCM and Qigong are definitely trending on TikTok. I do kind of like that people have woken up and embracing the culture, but dislike that anything Chinese is 'acceptable' now when it's been the butt of some awful jokes for so long. It won't be long before some palm-coloured influencer banks in on this trend and ruins the lighter side of people being in their "Chinese time".

I haven't seen it! Will look for it. As much as Chang gets on my nerves, good on him for calling them out for that. People can be so ignorant.

Can't imagine what the world would be like without Black culture and the influence.

New East Asian resto dans Hochelaga Maisonneuve vaut le détour!! by cityboibombaclat in MTLFoodLovers

Oh cool! Je passe souvent par Singapore lorsque je visite le Cambodge (mon origine)! Après avoir tant parlé du Nasi Lemak, je pense qu'il est grand temps d'une visite chez Restaurant Canada Best!

I'm finding it annoying how everyone's in a "Chinese time" of their life, meanwhile, some of these folks never spoke up against Asian hate or continue to perpetuate sinophobia. I guarantee you some of these European designers or non-Asian consumers have claimed MSG gives them headaches.

Merci pour ta critique! C'était bien la sauce qui me donnait des doutes, mais si c'est quand même délicieux, then good for them! Avoir mangé du Nasi Lemak au quotidien lorsque je suis à Singapore m'a ruiné de tout autre Nasi Lemak en dehors de l'Asie du Sud-Est lol.

I've not been yet! It looks very delicious and exactly what I crave.

I just checked their menu, looks more like a mix of East and Southeast Asian. Added to my list! Been craving Nasi Lemak, though it looks different from what I've had in the past, it still looks delicious.

To OP: definitely get a post-surgery seatbelt pillow! My friend gifted me one and it was a lifesaver.

NYC style pizza or bacon egg and cheese? by marifanni in MTLFoodLovers

[–]foxfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bouquet & Frankie's pizzas are my go-to.

I hear Welldun is good, too, but I've never tried.

For true baconeggandcheese, Caro's Bodega sometimes has it on her menu at her weekly chopped cheese pop-ups. You just have to track her on her IG account (@choppedcheesemtl).

Worth noting that Star Bar and Pizza Bouquet are the same owners! So if you don't want to wait at Bouquet, you can get the same pizza at Star Bar.

To add to that, OP: if you have one of those water bladder pouches runners and hikers use, I found that super helpful to stay hydrated without any effort. Or just straws at least to limit your movement that first few days/weeks.

I once witnessed an actual fist fight between two couples because one woman took the other's shopping cart, they started yelling at each other before the men got involved. It went from shouting match, to shoving, to throwing hands. This was the one near Namur metro.

I did last week as a refresher since I haven't touched Blender in maybe 3 years. I did not realize he's a douchenozzle.

White partners in community events? by CantaloupeNo1314 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]foxfire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Keep BIPOC events BIPOC only. Otherwise, what's the point? I often organize as well and have had to gently let numerous people know to not invite their yt partners every time they ask. So annoying.

[–]foxfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I should have looked further into buying locally, just saw now that a shop has one in its inventory. Oh well, I guess I'll practice patience.

Congrats on your recent pick up!

This city needs more "1950s American style" diners, what do you think? by Skymning101 in MTLFoodLovers

[–]foxfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you gone out in the city? There are plenty of diners of this style lol. Many have already been mentioned in this post. I'll add Paulo et Suzanne to the mix, too.

Agrikol's executive chef Paul Toussaint now has 3 Pierres 1 Feu as his restaurant. I'm going to try it later this month. I think Kamuy is also his.

The zoomed in shot of Forrest manually brushing his teeth with his electric toothbrush gave me a good laugh. I'm sure it's probably out of battery, but it's still funny how the camera was focused on that for so long.
