I'm here in Indiana, but 16 miles is about the distance from my house to the nearest fast food, except that one dairy Queen in my town but they are so shitty that I'd rather go hungry.
I'm from Ontario (Canada). I couldn't pretend that 30km is far even if I wanted to, just don't feel right. Also who measures distance with km/miles? That's a __ minute drive not a "29.6km drive", or am I weird?
Edit: This heavily depends on locale and local speed limits.
Edit 2: I was giving an example of time for me, I'll fix it so it can be a fill in the blank with your own time of travel for 30km.
have you ever been sitting in traffic and you out a window and see someone walking their dog next to you and just sit in the same spot and watch them slowly go through intersection after intersection into the sunset? Feels pretty good.
As someone who lives in a place that is very population dense and probably has a higher than average proportion of foodies, I would pass probably hundreds of restaurants. Honestly the food options here are ridiculous, but in the best possible way. But yeah I'm pretty sure that whatever restaurant my heart could desire is within 16 miles.
Really, it depends on the roads.
I've lived in Texas most of my life. Driving 16 miles is nothing if it's on a highway or feeder, and even on major streets/avenues it's not bad since traffic lights are generally spaced fairly well.
Now that I live in the EU driving is a pain in the ass in the cities since it feels like not a single road is straight and unless it's a major road there's not even round abouts.
Haven't been to SE Asia (yet) but I imagine it could be more like that where it's just constant high-alert when driving when CO pared to driving in the states
As someone who lives in Asia (South Korea), it's actually comforting how this goes the other way.
I asked my student to name an Italian food and they said steak.
Why? Probably because "steak & pasta" places are popular, but it was just so funny to me that *steak* was considered Italian. You can see the weirdest combinations and things that are absolutely *not* Western being described as such. They're just as oblivious to our food as we are to theirs, sometimes.
Don't get me started on how "bread" means "cake" (Don't eat the garlic bread...) and how some basic ingredients like vinegar or butter are so much worse(imo) etc.
It's fine and normal for foreign food to be worse and more expensive, but I also just love how they have the same problems we do. It's genuinely comforting how they also just seriously mess things up like we might.
...Except when they put tomatoes in a fruit salad. They genuinely don't understand why it's wrong (to me).
Then when I say I prefer tomatoes in Balsamic vinegar, they act like I just said I dip my bananas in soy sauce.
I taught in South Korea for a year nearly 20 years ago and still remember getting very excited when I found out there was a “Mexican” restaurant in Itaewon. I had the same thought after I went for the first time.
“At lease Americans aren’t the only ones who mangle other cultures’ cuisines”.
>Don't get me started on how "bread" means "cake" (Don't eat the garlic bread...)
Did they not historically have bread? Did they not bother developing it because of the prevalence of rice?
I'm not a historian, but this question gets asked occasionally so my understanding of why most Asian cultures didn't come up with bread is that it was too time-consuming and energy intensive to prepare in the "western" way:
Grains like wheat (which need temperate conditions and long days) were historically successfully grown in northern China and the food from these regions reflects that in dumplings and bao, which are not leavened (or, not heavily leavened like, say, a baguette). In the more tropical areas (even-length days, hot and humid) rice grows better, and cooks quickly, so it became the obvious staple of most of Asia. Nobody had the time (or climate) to maintain a starter, a fire, and all the bowls and pans bread requires. Rice is easy.
(And on the other hand, rice doesn't grow well in Europe - not humid enough, too cold most of the time) and the more you process wheat, the better it gets, so making the effort to get to bread was worth it, I guess.)
They made noodles which is a time consuming and energy intensive way of eating grain so I'm not too convinced.
I think it's more likely that they came up with a way of eating grain that wasn't bread, it's a famous story that someone took noodles to Italy from China, so Europe didn't have pasta before it was introduced.
>...Except when they put tomatoes in a fruit salad. They genuinely don't understand why it's wrong (to me).
Well FUCK. You just made the whole "Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad." thing racist.
" I asked my student to name an Italian food and they said steak."
Steak is literally the main dish in florence "Bistecca alla Fiorentina" a huge t-bone steak
Tagliatre is another big dish across Italy its a scliced up steak you share.
Your student was spoton Italians are big on steak.
> Italians are big on steak
So is *everyone*.
Maybe my point wasn't clear, but steak isn't Italian in the same way as pizza or pasta.
It'd be like if I asked you to name a Japanese food and you said "sandwiches".
Yes, they eat it. Yes, they have their own variants, but that's not a "Japanese" food.
That soup looks about as related to risotto as schwarma is to a burrito, and as an american, I am all for naming shit the wrong thing just to piss off europeans.
Just don't let the Irish off the island with their idea of American South West Food. If I see another burger with Jelly, Bacon and ranch dressing I'll die.
I fuckin love this guy. It is literally like listening to my work mate hahaha. Exactly what he says about us walking an extra 100m to another place that is slightly more expensive hahaha
I would easily pay for his sisters meal for that price. Though my salary would be 1/5th of what it is were i live now in Malaysia. And the price of the meal only 4 times as expensive.
Im sorry, no one is addressing this. Where does a cooked meal cost 2 or 6 bucks?!?
Where I live a steal would be about 16 bucks, and I'm not talking anything remotely fancy. A regulat mcdonalds meal costs about 17 bucks here. A children's meal would be about 13 bucks.
This is in Malaysia. The $2 plate of rice is typically around $7-8 in the local currency (ringgit). The $6 plate might look cheap for someone in a country with a stronger currency, but in a local context that is quite expensive and not something the average person can afford regularly.
Its still a type of rice. Just made with wine and broth usually instead of water. And you have to stir it a lot while you make it. But it tastes pretty good.
Idk if it's translation or part of the joke.
I can't get over how he showed a plate full of a variety of stuff and said it was rice. Is that just part of the joke. Or do they see rice as the main part of the meal and literally everything else is a side?
well in malaysia, when we said that we're eating rice (literal translation of makan nasi), it means the nasi campur/chap fan/mixed rice dish where you have a plate of rice and choose your own adventure meal
people loves the chap fan because it saves time, easier to serve, and you can eat according to your taste and budget. so go ham with it or save money, you can get the price as low as $1 (with plain water) in some places. which is why it's a popular meal for the locals
so yeah when we said rice/nasi; we actually meant the chap fan/nasi campur/mixed rice
Malaysia. not the popular tourist spots, but local neighborhood/restaurants near offices/colleges that offers cheap food for everyday man
if you see trays of food like in the video, that means it's the chap fan/nasi campur/mixed rice stall. take a plate of rice and choose your favorite dish to eat along with it
I sometimes drive that because the town(small city) I live in has terrible service and food locations. Only decent options are the 1 local steak place and 2 Chinese spots, other than that, every place sucks in this town.
2 Steak places do that cheap 3/4 glass of ice and gives you 1 refill only for an iced tea. 4.50. Food is charred and small portions. Worked at one of them for 6 months and the unsanitary freezer storage is a nope, lot of uncovered stuff in there.
Japanese shop makes you wait an hour (even on slow days) before bringing you your food and sometimes not even the full order. Bostonpizzas is just a joke of a location to eat at. Runny box mash tatoes, it literally slides off your plate if you tilt it.
Anyways yeah I leave for better food options and quality service for my coin.
Rice.
I love that "there is a meowmeow named FeiFei." The chinese word for Cat is "mao," and you say "maomao" to mean a kitty. I love that's the translation he chose.
They aren't complicated. They are just feeling based. Which makes things complicated because you might never know in any instance exactly how they feel and how they will react. If you can predict/deal with how they will react/feel to things, then you found the one to marry.
Bro you from Malaysia why the fuck you trying to sound stereotypically Vietnamese omg y'all need to stop. I can't keep laughing or I'm gonna die of asphyxiation.

It's not that she's spending so much, or wanting to touch grass, or even pet a cat... it's that she's driving **29.6km** to EAT RICE
I’d like to look at it as driving 29.6km to pet a cat. Eating rice is just bc it was available.
She needs to look up www.SingleCatsInYourArea.com
:( it's not real.
...lowkey got legitimately excited for a second
[Single cats in your area](https://www.google.com/search?q=local+animal+shelter).
The real answer
Or, you know, a cat cafe.
Fine for me when she pays the car (for that ride ) and the 4$ price difference
I’m from Texas. How far am I supposed to pretend 29.6km/16mi is?
I'm here in Indiana, but 16 miles is about the distance from my house to the nearest fast food, except that one dairy Queen in my town but they are so shitty that I'd rather go hungry.
It's really not fast food then is it? For you at least.
I'm from Ontario (Canada). I couldn't pretend that 30km is far even if I wanted to, just don't feel right. Also who measures distance with km/miles? That's a __ minute drive not a "29.6km drive", or am I weird? Edit: This heavily depends on locale and local speed limits. Edit 2: I was giving an example of time for me, I'll fix it so it can be a fill in the blank with your own time of travel for 30km.
A 16m drive in most urban/suburban areas ain't 15 a minute drive.
Ah yes, the wonders of big city living. Taking a 15 minute drive and turning it into an hour and a half one.
Yep, at 5am it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. 5pm? Roughly an hour.
have you ever been sitting in traffic and you out a window and see someone walking their dog next to you and just sit in the same spot and watch them slowly go through intersection after intersection into the sunset? Feels pretty good.
The nearest restaurant to me is 200m away. If I drove 16 miles I would pass dozens of restaurants. Why would I do that?
As someone who lives in a place that is very population dense and probably has a higher than average proportion of foodies, I would pass probably hundreds of restaurants. Honestly the food options here are ridiculous, but in the best possible way. But yeah I'm pretty sure that whatever restaurant my heart could desire is within 16 miles.

Unreasonably long if you life in a city and want to get a quick bite.
Way too far for lunch thats for sure.
But that's not why she's driving 29.6 km, she's driving it to also pet the cat and see the scenery. It's all one trip.
29km is like 1 town over. Its not far away
She driving that far to get away from her chastising brother
Did you even watch the video? Her brother was with her. Also, do you understand what jokes are?
Some people live to be offended. How dare you not accept them. I'm offended.
In my humble opinion, that not risotto.
Still rice tho.
are you the rice president?
WHEN DID GOD DIE AND MAKE *THEM* PRESIDENT OF RICE?!
It’s more of a nobility thing.
It's rice-otto, the South East Asian take on an Italian specialty.
I mean, if western countries can fuck up eastern food, then fair play to eastern countries fucking up western food.
As someone who lives in Asia (South Korea), it's actually comforting how this goes the other way. I asked my student to name an Italian food and they said steak. Why?

I had fish and chips at a British pub in Itaewon, turns out it was actually pretty good. I think it was started by an actual British guy though.

Could they have been rice noodles though?

Exactly.
That soup looks about as related to risotto as schwarma is to a burrito, and as an american, I am all for naming shit the wrong thing just to piss off europeans.
😂😂😂
Then feast your eyes on some authentic American BBQ 😋: https://i.imgur.com/SS1yclJ.jpeg
That Mac-n-water has got me kinda triggered tbh
That mac and water looks simultaneously dry and wet
Just don't let the Irish off the island with their idea of American South West Food. If I see another burger with Jelly, Bacon and ranch dressing I'll die.
Is that jelly, bacon, and ranch dressing or is that a bacon jam & ranch dressing?
No need to be humble, that's not a fucking risotto
Now you know how asians must feel when they go to asian restaurants in the west
Ricenotto
This is me. A man. That is rice.
Chef here. You are correct, that is rice with sauce and not risotto!
Was that even fucking arborio?!
I fuckin love this guy. It is literally like listening to my work mate hahaha. Exactly what he says about us walking an extra 100m to another place that is slightly more expensive hahaha
Australian
Not chinese?
They probably are both Australian just his "work mate" has chinese in em. I'm saying the OP is Australian
The guy in the video is Malaysian.
Malaysian
Malaysia is just north Australia.
you've gotta add the gas cost of driving that 60km roundtrip to the bill.
Probably about 1.5 gallons of gas which would cost like 2 dollars USD in Malaysia
Time is money, friend[!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urr7sQ7yndg) Calculate that too, math boy.
If you convert that time to the hourly rate in Malaysia, same difference
But there's a meow meow... come on.
Yeah I feel like the real r/justguysbeingdudes thing would be to go out of your way to eat somewhere that has the same food but has a furry animal
Who is this champion?
https://youtube.com/@im_kankan?si=vDPmj8qC2OQHGbjz Enjoy!
"Yes, Uncle Roger is my uncle"
“Back then, I always eat this with a friend”
I’m surprised you haven’t seen his vidGET THE RICE
To be fair, I'd also drive to see Fei Fei.
Fei Fei all day day.
Pet pets for meow meow
Fun fact Fei Fei is Fat Fat in mandarin. All hail Fat Fat first of his kind at the $6 rice shop. edit - spellings
Exquisite.
I've only known Fei Fei for 45 seconds, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.
I’d die for Fei Fei
I'd get the rice.
Ok, but I'm petting the meow meow!
but what if, you have meow meow at home???
If meow meow was a woof woof I'd be in.
Damn bro if she wants to pet the meow meow let her pet that damn meow meow it sounds fun
6€ for a meal?? and u have the audacity to call that expensive? 10€ for a meal where i live is cheap
To be fair, what's the average income? If we look at it as hours worked, it could be like going from a 10€ meal to a 30€ meal.
This is Malaysia, and a $6 meal is definitely not something people on average income can afford regularly.
you have the audicity to question what is expensive in their region more like
It's converted
Places with kitties ALWAYS win.
thats great looking food in a sweet cafe for only $6? sign me up!
that is definately not a risotto.
It's definitely rice.
I'm so insanely jealous that 6 dollars gets a full ass meal
And most of their country would be insanely jealous of your salary.
I would easily pay for his sisters meal for that price. Though my salary would be 1/5th of what it is were i live now in Malaysia. And the price of the meal only 4 times as expensive.
>Which one would you guys choose? Let me see the meow meow again.
I'd go with your sister. That rice looks good.
Emotional damage
I was sold at meow meow
I mean, Meow Meows tho.
Because, Meow meow
I choose Meow Meow
I've traveled much, much farther to pet a meow meow!
meow meow
I choose Meow Meow.
I would drive 29.6km to pet a meow meow, idk about the rest though
She's right.
Idk I'm sold at Meow Meow
Driving to pet a cat, that's honestly something something that even a man can certainly understand
Hey, it's not just rice! It's rice that somebody spilt a drink on! Totally different.
Dude 2 and 6 bucks for all of that dammmm . its hard to find a good combo for under 10 bucks.
Haha when the sister sees this she's going to make a video on how much money this guy spends on games and anime figures.
How far did she travel again?
He drove 29.6KM to talk shit about his sister.
I shockingly spent $17 at Taco Bell the other night.
This makes me miss Singapore
[удалено]
😂😂
absolute king. I love it
Got rice?
Having lived in Singapore for a decade, I would pick the $2 dish over everything else.
Riceotto
"This is me, a MAN." lol, best part
Hmmm the cat makes it a difficult choice
There are places selling food for under 2 digits? Man this risotto wouldve cost me 20€
Im sorry, no one is addressing this. Where does a cooked meal cost 2 or 6 bucks?!? Where I live a steal would be about 16 bucks, and I'm not talking anything remotely fancy. A regulat mcdonalds meal costs about 17 bucks here. A children's meal would be about 13 bucks.

He's in Malaysia
I wanna be this man's girlfriend (yes it is the prices)
Honestly, I was sold after the first reason.
I stay home and make my own food because I'm not helpless and can take care of myself.
extra 4 for cat? cat
Asian sisters don't eat rice at cafés
Honestly, that $2 meal is the one I'd pick
That’s not risotto I’m bothered this is what annoyed me the most
Men are form Mars...
I'd pick the cat. Without the cat, def next door.
\*cries in canadian food prices\*
Watching all those episodes of Hells Kitchen made me think Risottos was just rice porridge for rich people. What even is it?
Its still a type of rice. Just made with wine and broth usually instead of water. And you have to stir it a lot while you make it. But it tastes pretty good.
I’m sure he warned his sister before she took him to this place. I’m going to make a video about this.
I go for the meat
Okay, but where do I need to move for that $2 meal. My $2 meals are $2 egg McMuffin coupon with a diet soda and that's $3.48 in the morning
I'd chose neither because rice is gross
Meow meow and real plants alongside my “risotto” please.
Idk if it's translation or part of the joke. I can't get over how he showed a plate full of a variety of stuff and said it was rice. Is that just part of the joke. Or do they see rice as the main part of the meal and literally everything else is a side?
well in malaysia, when we said that we're eating rice (literal translation of makan nasi), it means the nasi campur/chap fan/mixed rice dish where you have a plate of rice and choose your own adventure meal people loves the chap fan because it saves time, easier to serve, and you can eat according to your taste and budget. so go ham with it or save money, you can get the price as low as $1 (with plain water) in some places. which is why it's a popular meal for the locals so yeah when we said rice/nasi; we actually meant the chap fan/nasi campur/mixed rice
I’ll go to entire other countries to pet local meow meow and eat their rice.
Empty….. Mpty……. Mty……. Mt….. …..
[удалено]
Malaysia. not the popular tourist spots, but local neighborhood/restaurants near offices/colleges that offers cheap food for everyday man if you see trays of food like in the video, that means it's the chap fan/nasi campur/mixed rice stall. take a plate of rice and choose your favorite dish to eat along with it
I pay $20 3 times a week for wendys to slowly kill me.
Driving 30km for some pussy? Not even I'm that desperate
The kitty cafe. Every time.
Tbf I’m guy and I’d have driven 29.6km just to pet Fei Fei too.
2 dollas
I sometimes drive that because the town(small city) I live in has terrible service and food locations. Only decent options are the 1 local steak place and 2 Chinese spots, other than that, every place sucks in this town. 2 Steak places do that cheap 3/4 glass of ice and gives you 1 refill only for an iced tea. 4.50.

I mean I love the cat, but yeah $2 food? Hell yes.
Kudos for keeping an open mind about it, even though he knows he's right.
I would drive that far for a meow meow.amd I am a total dude bro man.
Ok that was pretty funny, and Fei Fei alone is worth the drive
What da HEEEEIL
$6!? Where does he live?
I love that "there is a meowmeow named FeiFei." The chinese word for Cat is "mao," and you say "maomao" to mean a kitty. I love that's the translation he chose.
_Very easy to use_
Why did I just teleport to this man’s life
for $4? the Risotto
What is that meat in that risotto? Cause that looks like it slaps.
How far did his sister drive again?
Both dishes look shit
I’m dying!!
Yeah, rissotto is rice. It is amazing and better than normal rice.
I was expecting him to eat a chunk load of meat out of nowhere. He's there to make profit not enjoy life. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sC_1RNCGRNc
I would also ride 29 km's to pet any car
When I'm hungry I got to the fridge. Then I close the fridge because it's empty and go to sleep so I don't feel hunger.
Meow meow
‘How do you feel?’ ‘Well, it’s not like after the risotto’
Apparently, food is super cheap at restaurants in Malaysia.
Bro and siz aren't on the same page.
$2?! I think I need to live there
Wtf country is this where they're getting a meal for $6?
They aren't complicated. They are just feeling based. Which makes things complicated because you might never know in any instance exactly how they feel and how they will react. If you can predict/deal with how they will react/feel to things, then you found the one to marry.
This guy converted to Dollar, but didn't convert to Miles?
Bro you from Malaysia why the fuck you trying to sound stereotypically Vietnamese omg y'all need to stop. I can't keep laughing or I'm gonna die of asphyxiation.
