I looked up winter melon tea too.
I recognize the yeo's brand from the soybean drink. XD I am not too adventurous when it comes to trying new things though. I like to stick to my standard asian drinks of soybean,mango,lycee, pink guava, or coconut juice. .___.

All this talk of greek food is making me hungry for baklava. But the only place that I can find it is at Walmart around the holiday. Unless I make it myself and that might turn out into a disaster. Not to mention labor intensive. We do have a Pita Pit in our city, maybe they will have some there.

Indian food is good when I'm so inclined. Butter chicken and chai are the two big things I like. My uni had an all you can eat fund raiser thing for a school in India. Just little things like various pakora, chai in a pot (a student made it from a recipe on the internet) and this bright orange sugar dessert that looked like neon light tubing that I couldn't get the name of. I returned several times for more tea and to bring some goodies up to my room mates.

Japanese curry with rice is great. It's my go-to (when I actually have instant rice) whenever I don't want to go out and/or get campus food.

I went to an indian buffet once. The only thing that really stood out for me were the curries (Tikka masala), naan bread, and the dessert, Gulab jamun. It was tasty, but very sweet.

The existence of so many different types of naan bread is something I find really cool xD. There aren't many salty bread-things around, normally. I guess I can find some in Asian bakeries, but those aren't plain/normal/everyday/usable-as-rice-or-something looking.
I started liking Japanese curry before I ate it from watching anime of characters eating a plate of curry on one side and rice on the other at their schools xD. I think one of my favorite Japanese dishes is omurice <3 | ||||

I'm never sure how much ethnic food I have is actually authentic, since, with the exception of a couple trips abroad, everything I've had has been local so for all I know it's been Westernized to a degree, but from what I hear about some places the cuisine is pretty close. A childhood friend of mine who taught English in Japan has given me the run down on a good Ramen place to go so I'm going to try that when I'm in the city, next. | ||||

Ohh ramen <3
The only thing I know I've had that's authentic is Japanese food--since the Japanese food that I like I've tried there. I've only ever had Japanese curry in Japan, and omurice once in America and twice in Japan. Convenience store onigiri tastes a lot better from a Japanese family run store here in America than from Japanese convenience stores though :o | ||||

There's an observation in social geography that immigrant populations can often have or put more effort into some things than they would back in their country of origin because a conscious effort is made to hang onto it. For example, Cape Breton Fiddle is a style of fiddle playing that has gone extinct back in Scotland and now exists in Cape Breton because of the efforts made my Scottish immigrants to keep it going. There might be more effort put into traditional food by an immigrant because of sentiment, or perhaps because it's not as easy to get the ingredients and one wants it to be worth the effort.
Foods and such can change from little things like local supply. For instance, colcannon is an Irish dish with potatoes and cabbage. It is also listed as being made with bacon, but that didn't happen until it arrived in North America because of the easy access to pig meat here. When I had it in Ireland, no bacon. | ||||

That's really interesting :o. It makes sense too, since a culture's suddenly something that's really a part of someone's identity.
