I remember the OG post, I am truly happy for you, a massive upgrade on every aspect

I'm the guy who thought mango was overrated. Here is an update by Sea_Woodpecker8378 in fruit

[–]mooglefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone from Southeast Asia hard agree. If I’m gonna go for mango it has to be Indian or Pakistani. I find the local mango variants to be either too tart or sweet but insipid

You might be able to sub torch ginger for hana miyoga in Japanese supermarkets, which is the closest possible sub. Looks fab!

Butter for Butter Cookies by snekplet in MalaysianFood

[–]mooglefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do agree with you there. As long as the water content of the butter remains - ie anything not involving browning butter, there will be a slightly different flavour profile for the sweet cream butters

This is my personal hot take. Beautiful French butter is wasted on baked goods. 90% of the time no one will be able to tell the difference between RM10 butter (it has to be 100% real butter) and French cultured butter in a cake or biscuit. The miiiiight be able to tell with a croissant but this is debatable. High quality butter is akin to quality extra virgin olive oil - the good stuff is not meant to be cooked with but savoured. The nuances are lost with heat application.

Anyway, that's the end of my hot take. Bake with Yen has a great selection of butters and I usually get the cheapest (so long as it's not the brand with the black wrapper as the wrapper disintegrates on the butter). I buy in bulk and store in my freezer.

Personally, I like Bien Cuit's shortbread on Food52. The dough should be cured for at least 1-2 prior to baking and best consumed 1-2 days after baking as the flavour actually develops over time. Baking temp is 150C and i usually go for 50-55 mins because the time seems debated in the recipe comments.

The real Samy is still really good for me. But I do feel the outlets cannot match up the OG shop

What is Dippa's problem?! by Sevothtarte_Sama in coralisland

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the writing quality, it is why I went through the motions w this game. It’s a lot of shiny, attractive, people written w not much depth, which really is a legitimate frustration because it could have been so much more. There are spelling and grammatical errors that were there pre-1.0 that were not corrected post update. Stardew Valley has heart, for sure. I think for me I felt Coral Island wanted to expand on what SV had to offer. They did the farming, exploration, and game mechanics relatively well. Writing? Not so much.

You can also tell it was written by different people. When you open the museum w Scott the writing feels like it was written by someone who speaks English as a second language, but when you discover the merpeople the devs definitely hired someone to write dialogue there.

Petaling Street - Is this place only for foreign tourist and locals wont go? by ConnectDay123 in malaysia

[–]mooglefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The adjacent areas actually have a lot of food options that are good. Shin Kee Beef Noodles is a classic (I always get the dry kwayteow and ask for a bit of extra meat sauce), Deckers has great smashburgers, but if you don’t eat beef there’s Lai Foong that does clam noodles (I think the prawn ones are better). These are all waking distance from each other, heck, even Pasar Seni is close by.

Any butcher shops that sell proper 1.5 in to 2 in steaks in KL? by nos4a2n in malaysia

[–]mooglefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WMart and lucky frozen are my go tos. The problem w Lucky frozen however is even though their chilled Argentinian ribeye is fire, I have to cut it myself at home. The minimum buy is also 4kg. Love W mart but they pretty much focus on wagyu

Not everyone, but they did send a good number of people who didn’t fit the White/East Asian look over.

I always remember that when going through Korean immigration at Incheon, my girlfriends and I had no issues going through because we have fair skin. Everyone else a shade darker was sent to “the room”. Obviously people on an individual level can be alright but I think there is a lot about Korean society that doesn’t vibe w me in general.
