Another delivery from Spirit Bistro

I am slowly going down their list of menu items haha I'm basically trying everything so you don't have to =P

First off, this is the classic Cantonese soy sauce chow mein. Typically, this is eaten (in the motherland) during breakfast or brunch hrs, & usually (but not always) eaten with congee. The congee is mild in flavour while this has a fragrant/semi-pungent taste so the 2 oftentimes go together. Eat a little bit of noodle, eat some congee to reset the palette. The noodles are also stir-fried so it's 'dry', & congee is soup-y so that's another reason why they're consumed together.

I can tell you that . .. the fragrance is much stronger than it taste.

It looks quite dark but it was actually kind of bland. Not overly bland but for me, it was. For my parents, esp my mom, it was just right.

The 2nd item is flat rice noodles with beef in black bean sauce.

Aroma & taste was . .. 90%!

The negatives:

the onion & some pieces of celery were too raw for me. Great for those who prefer a good crunch.

Separation of the noodles needs improvement. However, of note, was the fact that this was a delivery order so it was packed inside a take-out box. It is reasonable that some noodles are stuck together BUT there were chunks of noodles where the center of the chunk were not coated in sauce (ie: still white/pale), which means the noodles were not entirely separated during the cooking process, so not the fault of it being in a take-out box.

Nonetheless, excellent amount of toppings!

Recently, I got to join a bunch of fun Bay Area foodies for lunch at Far East Café in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown! Far East Café is one of Chinatown’s oldest restaurants, dating back to 1920, with beautiful vintage details like antique lanterns and Oriental paintings adorning the walls, and boasts a clientele of both locals and tourists there to chow down on yummy Cantonese cuisine. On the menu: • Yi Fun Won Ton Soup • Salt & Garlic Chicken Wings • Curry Tomato Beef Chow Mein • Fookin Fried Rice • Dried Pan Fried String Beans with basil and minced pork • Vegetable Egg Foo Young • Longan Martini • Oolang Tea It was all delicious, but my personal faves were the beans, egg foo young, and the chicken wings.😋 📍 631 Grant Ave San Francisco, CA 94108 If you’re looking for ideas of great places to eat in the Bay Area, be sure to follow: @the_happyepicurean @ahostin_sf @jennymeets.world @thehungrycurator @yayarea.foodie @katheerinnaeats @djtravels2020s And for all things Chinatown, @sfcma 📸March 25, 2023 #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscofood #sanfranciscobay #sf #howsfseessf #alwayssf #ilovesf #chinatownsf #sanfranciscolife #sanfranciscoliving #food #restaurant #restaurantsofinsta #restaurantsoftheworld #restaurantsofinstagram #sfrestaurant #sfrestaurants #foodie #foodies #foodiecollab #foodiegram #chinesefood #cantonesefood (at Far East Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqdrEwWPfQ3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

what’s your favourite kind of takeout?

cantonese chow mein + chicken corn eggdrop soup or oxtail + rice and peas + coleslaw have been two staples lately

apparently in vancouver, if you start speaking chinese or mention regionally specific dishes the cooks and waitresses can do a bunch of off the menu stuff. one of my *local* friends told me that in downtown atleast, the menu is for tourists and such. but also the waitress at this patio/restaurant serving sichuanese food offered me and the comics squad i was with canto style lemonade ice tea (off menu) when i asked about cantonese style chow mein. the place was expensive but also the area was a super wealthy area w like expensive condos that encroaches on the gay village so it was a sacrifice we had to make for good food. their baat jan chow mein is still not as good as my dad's at my uncle's restaurant tho 🥺!

i also feel like i get a leg up for being toisanese bcuz that's the og chinatown language so like ppl who are cantonese will think fondly of their grandparents who speak toisan/some ancestral hick language, or there will be toisanese ppl working there and it's like "wow! you still speak, good for you!" even if it's horrible chinglish... anyway 💅🏼 my ethno-cultural heritage as toisan who visited vancouver privelege is showing ...

「What is 『炒芥蘭』？」 「…食得嘅…」

What is 『caau2 gaai3 laan2』？sik6 dak1 ge3

“What is ‘fry Chinese broccoli’?” “…something to eat…”

《女人俱樂部》 (2014) 第廿集

*炒芥蘭 ～ Slang term, apparently came from the football (soccer) world. Refers to when players (accidentally?) kick each other in the legs (usually the shin?) and collide together. In other words, ‘play rough’.

Well, it's not as if 「炒芥蘭」 was something embarrassing! Wonder why he was reluctant to explain? Maybe he just thought it a bother? (his girlfriend is — scripted to be — an overseas born and brought up Chinese so her Cantonese is supposed to be not good) Or is there something more naughty with this term that I am not aware of? Hmm…🤔

But why 炒芥蘭? According to Chinese Wiki, two possible explanations:

The shin where players usually get kicked, is one of the roughest parts of the leg, thus likened to the rough stalk of the Chinese broccoli.

炒芥蘭 (caau2 gaai3 laan2) is a possible bastardisation of the English phrase ‘Charley Horse’, which is an informal expression to mean cramping or stiffness in the legs.

I doubt the Charley Horse explanation though, that seems pretty contrived!

Oh and 炒 (which means literally ‘to stir-fry’ — as in ‘chow’ in ‘chow mein’) can be used colloquially in Cantonese to mean ‘collision’.

E.g. 炒車 (caau2 ce1) ～ literally ‘fried car’, means ‘to have a car crash/accident’

Recently thought of this scene from this series again, the expression 「炒芥蘭」 had been baffling me but I kept getting distracted (by other stuff) and forgetting to look into it each time! 😅
