Chinese is the nationality, the culture, and loosely used as an umbrella term for the broad language family. You can't really speak in Chinese, the language spoken by him in this video is Mandarin.
ngl this turned out to be a nothingburger for me. Got there by around 5:30 on a Sunday and managed to place an order at 6ish. The menu was 50% sold out. They do not have an option to sample, nor any seating. We got the soft serve and 2 scoop ice cream, vanilla + caffe bianco. Both were meh, tbh there are so many better ice cream places in NYC. And to top it all off, they don't even want you around their property after they hand you the ice cream.
This line wrapped around the block is for Caffe Panna in New York, known for their Mango Sticky Rice ice cream.
Would you wait in a line like this for some ice cream? Not me.
Hulu or Ululudhwani is used to ward off evil spirits and welcome divinity during weddings, festivals, and births in many Indian cultures. I was today years old when I realized it actually comes from Arabic Zaghrouta. Thanks to Sabrina Carpenter's coachella performance.
Unfortunately, many desi people don't realize that Indian food in Western countries often refers to the Indian subcontinent. Bengali cuisine, for example, is part of Indian regional heritage regardless of whether the chef/owner is from India or Bangladesh. Desis who prioritize love instead of hate might eventually get the much needed perspective on these cultural overlaps.
Living in the Northeast, desis are constantly mourning the lack of real tropical staples like custard apple and guava. Anywhere else, they swear the local apples are watery, smh
Dude who hasnโt lived in the US and therefore doesnโt know that that American fruits and vegetables are renowned for tasting bland. Agriculture in US prioritizes production and shelf life and not taste. Most apples including the sweet Fuji and Honeycrisp apples taste watery.
To the cheapskates or the brokies from NYC: โSkip the subscription or the free trial that needs your credit card.. tune your antenna to WNBC 4.1 to watch Superbowl. Free, crystal clear, and zero lag.
@TulikaBose_ Cheap carbs such as rice and lentils will not go for a premium price, doesn't matter even if you add 21 more ingredients to it. That thing is free from a langar.
To all you FOMO shoppers panicking today.. please relax and know that Chinatown businesses will still be operating tomorrow. It doesnโt matter if itโs a snowstorm or a cinematic apocalypse, if the earth is still spinning, the bao is still steaming.
Been there done that โ the brokies who can't pay $25 for a drink wait by the Brooklyn bridge at midnight every year for NYE fireworks knowing it's not happening ๐คฃ
It never crossed my mind to look at property tax as the tax on unrealized gains of appreciating property value. It actually makes sense, but then there is capital gains tax upon selling your property. So basically it's double taxation on middle class who'll be living off their entire life investment when they can no longer work, sigh.
@JBlunt1018 A 2nd generation Indian (parents born in Pakistan) carrying the same last name have to pledge their allegiance to India. But a 2nd generation American (parents born in India) carrying the last name Patel should still pledge their allegiance to India?
