Does London Have GOOD Asian Food?

is Asian food any good in London we're gonna talk about it all with our British educated friend Zach Chen what's good guys yo tell us about your food background yeah so I'm basically born and raised in Singapore did two years in the Army and then did three years in London just graduated and moved out here to New York so you're familiar with having a Chinese you took a Chinese before yeah yeah I'm definitely familiar with having a Chinese all right guys we're going to talk about food in London uh me and David have not visited personally but I've done a lot of research you've lived there um I went to Europe in eight some Asian food but anyways uh we just want to real quick just talk about the demographics in London because I think like London is actually about 20% Asian but most of that is Indian right South Asian but there is a sizable amount of Chinese there that maybe have been there for multiple Generations or mostly new and then so yeah I mean that's going to kind of dictate the food scene right right yeah so um as to as to your statement a large majority of the Asians in London are actually like or even the UK for the matter South Asians and so like we said just now where if you say Asian it's going to be referring to a South Asian guy so you kind of got to go with that whole Oriental and in that same breath the oriental food I kind of hate using the word but the East Asian food in um in London man is is it's not really as what you expect right is and is there in any Southeast Asian food at all because obviously you grew up in Singapore southeast Asia so um growing up in Singapore I'm kind of like well aware of like this the amount of Southeast Asian food that there is out there and to be honest in London there is Southeast Asian food but it's not it's not really like you know like volumeless like there isn't a lot of restaurants that I I would contrast it with America where uh okay outside of France I think Paris actually has quite a bit of uh Vietnamese food which I did have but in America Vietnamese food is pretty popular Vietnamese Korean obviously there's Chinese food everywhere so Thai food is super popular right now Thai food is very popular but I think Thai food is trending in London as you said earlier but anyways as far as foods that we have a lot of that you guys probably don't have in London is probably like Vietnamese food because you guys just don't have that many Vietnamese people I mean we do have Vietnamese people but it's not going to be to the level that you guys have them like out here in America right and I think to that topic um let's say on the night out like you're out with some friends and maybe not everyone's from the same background we could all eat fur right but it kind of be like a different vibe in London where um I say like from my observation at least a lot of the East Asian food especially like Japanese curent it's all been kind of like commercialized into this into this like very accessible like you know like if you're not familiar with the culture you can eat this kind of food but it's not very organic if you understand what I mean like a waga mamas yeah that's why any so we got to pop up some photos of wagamamas right here wagamamas is a very popular British Chinese Pan Asian fusion chain right cuz they have pad ties and things there and Shabu Shabu I think and it's like almost all-encompassing but is this the equivalent of like the Pan Asian PF Changs um to be honest like I couldn't even say because I've never even had wagas in my life and I'm pretty like out stand on that but like I think from what I've seen wagas is what a person that grew up in the UK that has never traveled to Asia impression of Asian food and therefore it's just reinforcing the idea of Asian food and so like hey um to that to that whole logic of like if a broken don't fix it where versus trying some stuff that's maybe like more heavily seasoned in spice or maybe with like some flavors that aren't like you know like that accessible to the pallet we're just going to give them something that they know yeah a more of a I don't want to say you know simplistic Anglo-Saxon palet more more British like uh not a lot of spices right well I mean I think as uh we've talked about that the Asian pride movement is not as strong or it's not as Progressive in the UK as it is like in America so as far as like I feel like in America because it also is an immigrant Nation it's like very much Prides itself on all the great high quality immigrant food that we have here like we'll talk about like Mexican food is the best whatever in California it does depend where in America though when you go to Texas and especially rural Texas it's almost more like the UK right but in the cities the big cities in America we have pretty good food right like from all the different uh ethnicities but uh yeah I mean I think and then I guess it's different in the UK where uh it's not I'm sure the Middle Eastern food is really like the Mediterranean food is really good right but the Asian food is just not on that level yeah because I think for East Asian food in particular cuz South Asian food there's a whole lot of um South Asian people in um London and approximately 650,000 according to so definitely comes with the food and I think a really interesting topic about that or something that I've never really thought about per se till this combo is that because when you have like large group of ethnic people that congregate together the food is going to be good because the food is going to be authentic to that that Target because they're going to demand it the market going demand it you're not going to be able to sve South Asian food to a South Asian guy that's kind of not how he remembers it right so the same thing with East Asian food um because there aren't to my knowledge there aren't a lot of like congregations the biggest congregation in London I can think of that East agent is probably just going to be Chinatown and even Chinatown in of itself is nothing compared to the New York one or even the one in Queens it's a very um tourist destination place you go there you take a pick under the you know the lanterns and you call it a day but um I think the whole thing with finding like authentic East Asian food um I I hope I'm wrong but it may it may be a real challenge in the UK cuz you're going to find something that's maybe not all the way authentic but like if you were to find authentic food it's it's kind of gay so I want to ask you so maybe the Asian food the East Asian food or the oriento food is not that authentic right not that traditional and maybe doesn't have all the flavors that you would expect if you traveled there or it's nothing like the stuff that you get in actual Asia but uh do people like it and does that do you think that still reflects like people's attitudes towards Asian people like are they like oh I love this westernized oriental food as long as these Oriental guys act westernized too or you know what I mean like is there some type of like correlation no I definitely get that point because um as an East Asian guy myself and growing up in Southeast Asia like I've seen a fair sh of people a fair sh of people that kind of like have a very simplistic view of um our food right where it's kind of like it feels a bit to me like a bit of a disservice because we've done like so much we put in so much work to like Elevate the food to a point where it is and then kind of like all you know out of it is um shrimp fried rice or all you know out of is Singapore noodles I still to this day don't really know what Singapore noodles are because there's a like 50 different kind of noodles in Singapore I'm not sure which one it is well we we the HK people we got to admit we we branded it that the sing out how my like yeah you it was like a it was probably I think it was a tatang like Hong Kong Cafe Chef who went to Malaysia or Singapore and then brought it back with like a third of the ingredients because we don't even know what that this refers to in Singapore which I guess I say all that to say that um there's a lot of stuff that I wish like people would know but because of the fact that to your point Andrew where it's just like okay like do I want to know do I do I really deeply care enough about like let's say finding more about this person's culture or learning more about this person's food than to just eat something that works for me so if I like sushi would I really like spend that much money to go like to an Omak place or could I just get like the you know like itsu the little rose right right but but but sometimes it's like you got to it's like it's so complicated because I think the det Details Matter like I think that and I like tell me if you agree with me or not Panda Express is actually a great Gateway for most western people to get into Chinese food and I think I agree with that because I agree with the concept that it's a Gateway but a Gateway always insinuates that it's leading into a whole treasure chest of things that you could discover once you pass through this it feels like in London it's a gateway to nothing wait wait wait so you saying wagamama is not a great Gateway into authentic East Asian food in in London shout out my UK agents you got to back me on this bro waga mama is trash and and I even haven't even had it myself so this is a you you know they came to New York they opened up like four locations and they shut down you know what's funny the first time we had waga mama was in Beijing in the in the forer area right on some like Oh that's wagas oh that was a that was a knockoff maybe no it was just a different brand oh okay sorry uh Point number two what is what is taking a Chinese right have a Chinese so that that's a really interesting concept for especially asian-americans like yourself in the states where having a Chinese literally refers to the activity of having a Chinese takeout with I mean I I doubt that a Chinese person would say let's have a Chinese cuz that insinuates a very different meaning so um when they say that it Lally refers to kind of like a maybe a overly deep fried fish with fries and some I these pictures and I it kind of looks like some Hood Chinese food but also the curry fries is like man that if that symbolizes Chinese food that's I get it like no it's like for the British sailor hoods of like the 1920s there's like chicken nuggets here you do have some like my fun here I will say there's one dish I saw at one Chinese takeout in London that I liked and it was uh salt and pepper fries normally the salt and pepper shrimp but they did that with fries and I did think that was cool and I was like maybe they should bring that to the hood over here right right like that was the one where I was like I would TR yo does uh when people say have a Chinese like does anybody ever use that for like other meanings like some girl some some British girls like yeah I just had a Chinese last night you know what's so crazy about that is because um well I've I've well not not to freaking incriminate myself but like I've heard that in person where it's kind of like almost been I would say even been desensitized to the point where it could be even joked about where it's like oh like look at that guy like he looks like a like a nice Chinese well I know the meaning is and I get the joke but I struggle to laugh at it because if imagine if it was the other way around that would be crazy right so are you saying like from a white British girl who's attracted to Asians being like I'd like to have that Chinese over I've heard it in passing I've definitely heard it in passing I don't know how much I would say if a girl wants to say it in that context let's be honest a lot of dudes they'll let it slide self-respect that's quite a fine Chinese hey that looks like a nice Curry play to Curry fries well well to be honest I could imagine like British guys at a pub like all gathered boys night being like well I could see that saying that about Asian girls right I just you ever seen that nice Chinese that just walk by and then as an Asian guy you go yeah you want to try my chicken bowls cuz you guys probably they love the chicken balls right it's like a ball of chicken yeah what what what about like so East Asian because I know that you've been saying East Asian and unfortunately the word Oriental still gets used in the UK right so do Asians themselves use that word Oriental to describe food you know how like there's that one Top Ramen flavor do they still call it Oriental they call it uh something else now when we were growing up the top Ramen packet the blue one it's called soy sauce now oh okay it was called oriental for like a lot half of my childhood but they changed it obviously you know so do Asians in the UK and when I say Asians I guess let's I guess we got to separate do South Asians use the word Oriental to describe other East Asians and likewise yeah do you guys use it in like we are the orientals I'll be so honest corre me if I'm wrong guys like in the comments below but I believe it's mainly South Asians that use that word to describe East Asians to describe East Asians because think about it from like um if you're an older Caucasian guy you're just going to call us Asians no matter what kind of Asian you are you're just Asians there's too much Nuance there it's it's a very simple concept to them but then the thing is once you say the word Asian in um the UK which is very different than as um being Asian-American it's you're referring to a South Asian guy or girl very very clearly so I guess like the South Asian Community maybe I could be completely wrong with this but um they use that word to kind of like differentiate what kind of agent are you and to them it it may be just a word that's used in like tongue and cheek cuz you can't be like every time just be like East Asian cuz what if you're Southeast Asian you know what I mean so it's just like it's a one-sized fit all like so so to them two people and and maybe it's some South Asians or or non-asians right they would use Oriental to describe like a [ __ ] chinesey hard Chinese passing Asian no it's a OMP it's a Oriental [ __ ] phenotype that's what that's what that's what Rishi sunok would say yeah yeah to be exact to be very specific it's somebody who passes as part Chinese essentially well I mean I'd be called an oriental person because I've been called that and it's funny because um shout out my roommate you know who you are but uh he actually called me that and I was like like PA what you just call me and then he was like no no no Oriental right you're like an oriental guy I'm like bro I've never heard the the phrase Oriental be used with a person the last time I used the what race was he uh he was like a South Asian guy okay so he didn't mean it like that I obviously I don't think I mean the one time I got cold Oriental I was working at La and then this old British lady was asking for me to a cooworker and then she goes he was like oh who was helping you uh the Oriental man and then I was like it relayed back to me I was like what if you would have said she could have said Asian but like I was like what if you would said uh who are you refer toing the [ __ ] one the one with the chinki you know the uh the the Oriental gent you know what I mean the all right tell real quick tell us about Singaporean food is it overrated underrated or fairly rated yeah so the whole thing with uh Singaporean food is that I'm proud to say that I believe that we have some of the best food in Southeast Asia ver the Hot Topic right here man just say the world man you don't have to HED within sector listen I'm from Singapore so obviously I might be slightly in that sense what's the best Singaporean food because most people like you said maybe prior people only had Singaporean noodles which are barely Singaporean at all from a Hong Kong Cafe then it sort of expanded Loa is in there now chili crabs Sates uh chicken rice what what are the best ones bang for the buck chicken rice I say I say if you want to uh like tap into Singaporean food the best thing that you can try and you won't go wrong with is Singaporean food for you to really start with you know no but what but what like what what what dishes right so like henes chicken rice is up there and that's say like honestly if you're feeling like adventurous we do crap in my opinion like the best in the world and that says a lot all all right all right so top five dishes no no no I I want to hear the top five off your head it doesn't have to be exact but what of the top five dishes is from Singapore Singapore right off the top of my head spontaneous chicken rice We're Going H henes uh well we're going hes chicken rice we're going chili crab we're going Hy and me we're going um uh I'm going to thr I need I need I need like a hot second we're we're going to run this back it's okay it's okay those are pretty I was I was with you on all three though CU andw we be we be going to the H me spots with the as well but then there like um South Asian is ruse like no you could say Roi Kai right roai oh you were thinking you were you were hyper unique because chili crab is almost only Singapore you were thinking of it's not even in Malaysia as all right like I mean I I love katos Kos I'm trying to think of things you can hold on hold on hold up is this controversial or not cuz I know some people roasted me for this one time CU they're like oh David I thought you knew about food I love toast box well I mean sh I love toast box I know but you know how some people are like well you like toast box it's not even the you know the yeah yeah but the thing is if you want to be a if you want to be a food critic don't don't be a food critic about Brett and and and like damn near like jam bro like you can go critic like things that require a bit more like you know like Nuance like Years bro like it's literally just like bread and spread so if you if you get it right in Kos I have been the biggest proponent I I would buy stock in toast box if they wanted to go Global I believe in the Aesthetics I believe in the system the process I believe in the product I think I believe in the Mal you look at their pnl did you did you look I don't know I don't know what their internals are like you know but I'm just saying toast box it looks like a kith store but they're serving Kay it's I love that that's so Asian I of the world maybe that would have seemed jarring at one point to serve kyot and eggs and stuff like that I think it would work globally in 2024 okay kotos toast box David's voting for kyot toast in 2024 what all right what are some let's brainstorm some Singaporean dishes that deserve more shine in America in the western world that should be more blown up we get it that um what what is already popular chicken rice is all I got I got one I got one there could be a slightly less medicinal version of I knew going to say that yeah but but cuz it's so good and people love that pork flavor but it is true in it's 10 out of 10 traditional old school format a little too medicine tasting but the thing is though like I'd say what makes it old school and what makes it like unique to Singapore is that medicinal taste so when you take it out it it it might no no I'm not saying take it out 10 out of 10 dollar definitely um yeah well that that could be so that buck is up there obviously we went through the list now it was uh chicken rice lxa and we even got like Roi canai in there but like the thing is about like the whole thing with like chicken rice it's not even like accessible to people in the sense that the activity of making chicken rice is that you're cooking all the rice in the chicken fat right and that that's what gives it its flavor and to cook chicken rice you need like free range chicken you can't just like be like buying any chicken from the shelf so i' say in and of itself if you could make that dish more accessible you you could tap into the entire Market because that's our dish in Singapore and obviously chili crap is up there but like how many people are going to be eating crab on expensive everyday basis the the process is expensive the labor is expensive every all right I got one I got one one style it's a particular Singaporean and Malaysian style of chassio okay it is different than a lot of the chassio you get here you're saying different from a Hong Kong style it is a little bit different Hong Kong style is the one that more people are familiar that's more red but this one's deeper darker I think they use a darker soy sauce or whatever it's more candied right I like it better I like it better and I think say it say say the whole sentence I like the Malaysian Singaporean style of Chu better overall then what but you cannot find it out here cuz they're just not going to put in the work to make it like that like well also more people will be asking for the K uh so that youing is the tasok like you know like that whole thing you find in chinat yeah I think it's done a little different it's done differently there the chass looks different it's small firm and the roasted meat is defin Ely like way more crispy like yeah yeah it's way more burned bacon like yeah I'm I'm with you on that where I definitely prefer it but like I feel like the Kanto style is more on texture if you get what I mean the one in Singapore is very heavy on Flavor so depends which Camp you're on almost more like getting in a sausage territory can loxa be ranking up in the noodle soups or is it because it's kind of fish it's like a fish curry it's like a prawn pasty type like situation I feel like obviously the goats of like if we're talking the new worlds obviously like we got ramen and then Laman and then like whatever you want to throw in there luxa isn't really our strongest export but it's definitely up there with it it's it's almost like in flavor profile I even say it's kind of like Caribbean of like the coconut milk you know what I mean right right right that's interesting I think people would say it would be better in Malaysia oh CH can chway TI yeah rival like a pad C or a beef chow fun you know like a Gong like can it rival can it actually oh yo I I'll say this no for Kanto people though or Southern Chinese or people with Southern Chinese Roots however many generations back it could be I'd say pad cuu and like Pad Thai it's still those are still pretty good all right I will say this have you know the black moon style where they put the raw egg on top black that unparalleled though no no black as a culinary experience like I know exactly the one you're talking about like it's got like One Singular egg Yol on top it in and they serve it piping hot with dark with dark soy sauce in my opinion it's um it's an unparalleled culinary experience it doesn't even like the fact that it's in the form of chocolate Tails it's is arbit Tre but like I think if that dish if you want to put it up uh B for B if you want to put it out B for band with like um the best fun for fun fun you know what I mean like I I'd say I'd say I'm pretty confident P for p guess nobody knows about it pop that up Black Moon CH fire I I think it's I think yeah is it Moonlight noodle or something like that I'm looking it up yeah Moonlight noodle guys I I agree David this this is a sleeper one I think this one deserves it but I think it's the raw egg yolk that's going to bug people out in America unfortunately but yeah yeah yeah real quick we got to talk about this clip that you did on uh bunch of bananas podcast let's just run the clip what is your top five East Asian Foods I'm going go with a strong five Korean also it's slightly biased just because I do look a little bit Korean so sometimes the homies will hook it up yeah okay all right right if I keep my mouth shut and smile and not I get I get S pretty good right Korean food is insanely economical if you go there and order rice you get like 10 side dishes and you're straight I'm going say number four though and I'm going say Taiwanese the flavors if done right it's done right but it's definitely not like higher than number three which is I'm Singaporean I'm going to go Singaporean food R you know the deal and Shout Out mayay second I'm sorry but like Vietnamese it doesn't take the crown it doesn't take the crown let's find because number one Japanese food bro trust me cuz if you gave me like one Japanese dish for the rest of my life I could eat it for the rest of my life I'm I'm chilling really yeah I'm chilling no I'm more than okay but really it's so rich though though I'm going dilute it I'm going put it's all good like I'm eat it I'm I'm eat it like I could eat Viet food Vietnamese food for the rest of my life and be a be ad healthy guy but I couldn't eat one Vietnamese dish for the rest of my life in my opinion whoa whoa whoa whoa you got F Bo way don't okay so this was one of the more viral clips that you were a part of on the the one of the most popular British Asian podcast as what what what did people say so you're talking about the um top five yeah yeah yeah right so um basically I got thrown under the bus for that one because I realized that I completely omited Chinese food which in my mind is kind of like the question was insinuating at top five foods that you leave the house to eat at a restaur you know what I mean so I just want to save my own ass there where look it's honest mistake guys it's off the top of my head but I definitely think that um like Viet food is still is still up there for me if I had to revise the list I definitely bump uh Chinese food to number one if if I could really like well you know the weird thing is it's like CH like some people cons it's not Chinese but some people consider Singaporean food so quasi Chinese or like I mean when I say Chinese food I'm just going to refer to the food that my mom made growing up so like that's my version of Singaporean Chinese food but then also the B the H yeah yeah yeah but like if you really want to talk like specifics then I'm just going to go Singapore number one and then like obviously within that demographic we can get like Nery with it and then like obviously yeah I mean obviously you had Japanese number one let's be honest as much as people like have the historical beefs or whatever their grandparents told them to feel or whe you know what I mean what happened but it's like I would say a lot of Asians Andre would you admit would you say that would put Japanese as their number one like that's not weird to say it's almost like you say Japanese number one or two and then your your parents Cuisine number one or number two man I got a hot take man I think Japanese top food the best food in Japan is top tier a tier but actually Japanese Cuisine overall it doesn't have that much flavor okay you know so I'm saying Sushi raw fish a tier s tier I'm trusting the Japanese with that with raw fish omes Sashimi you're saying you want you want to see a Japanese Jiro chef at omasi that's like top tier nothing beats that I think almost in the world but a lot of like even Ramen is like debatably how like great like Ramen is is kind of like there's not that much meat in it it's like no it is true that Japanese food doesn't really uh like some of the more popular dishes they don't not necessarily going to hit your soul it because of the flavor profile is Dashy it's a lot of show you it don't got too much depth seaweed I mean no I I want to say I might disagree with on the depth point I'd say it might have a lot of depth but it doesn't mean it hits okay and that's where I think Korean and Vietnamese food hit harder for me overall they do have more pungent flavor profiles for sure Korean but Sushi is like number one like thing I would almost eat I I think for me like my my take on that is that it depends on like the kind of like what you're feeling because if I'm trying to like really taste the [ __ ] out of something it's definitely going to be om Dre dreams or sushi like that whole raw fish experience cuz that's an unparallel experience across all of food in my opinion uh just leave the raw fish to the Japanese and just call it a day right they got it but like in terms of like if you're like let's say hungry as [ __ ] and you just want something to like almost fix you I feel like fur could do that for you in a way that maybe like only the top grade of ramen let's say I'm fing to Tokyo and I'm eating AOW of ramen in the sow could do for me ver like just popping to a phot no yeah no I feel what you're saying if you if I've been hungry all day and I have the choice between Viet Korean or like a oyakodon I'm going go with VI Korean over the O yakong because it's just going to be such a light flavor where I'm like trying to taste the dance of the steamed egg with the I'm just like yeah I just try to like go in on something that's going to touch my receptors and I think that to your like China is so big that's why I think like suan food has been the most standout Province from mainland China over the past like 10 years because there's no way you're missing that flavor profile it's like like you smacks you like yeah yeah people want something that smacks them and I but then again I I hesitate to say that if I was hungry as [ __ ] like the first thing that would be on my mind is like Citron Fu cuz that shit's going to just burn my mouth you don't yeah no no no you're right you're right you're right H sichan to me it's almost like this sounds crazy I think as uh globally as like casual drug uses has gone up I really view like suchan flavors coinciding with that because sometimes you almost have like a drug induced feeling like I've had so much Sichuan food before where I started like seeing stars like I was like it was like I don't know what was happen to the blood vessels or the oxygen Pathways this is a great time to plug smalla sauce guys check out smalla sauce it has a hint of that intoxicating Mala Buzz just a hint but it's really the first Italian inspired chili oil it's delicious goes on everything you can buy it on Amazon small sauce.com real quick just to end off the video what's one thing from America the Asian-American world or the Asian world in America that London really needs like like damn you could just bring one I'm sure there's a lot that is so if I had to really like di it down to one the first thing that jumps out to me is a collective like and I'm not saying like a collective of like let's say just of people but like let's say like cuz over here the culture and and we've been talking about this where it's so like in bra where if I say like Asian like it means something in your mind in B Ander but like if you're thinking Asian in the UK apart from how an Asian person looks you might draw a blank and I'm talking East Asian so I think that um obviously I know a lot of people that are in the culture and pushing it Forward their Trailblazers in that sense is great and if like they continue to push in that direction they'll do for the future Generations what you guys have did for Asian americ is Boba popular in London yeah Boba is hella popular like you just chicks love it bro but so but wouldn't is it not the same as here as but is one of those things like you wouldn't you wouldn't think Asian and Boba you just think like it as a separate entity where it's a good dessert to have it's not all tied together you're taking a girl out on a date in London uh let's say she she's like Lebanese but you want to like show her some Asian food where do you take her okay so um bro shout out this one spot called rasa saang I know you guys know and if you guys see this I love you guys um in my opinion it's up there with the best Southeast Asian food in the entire UK how you spell it r a s a s a y a n g so rasa and Sayang um honestly that place um I'll stand by it so if you if you don't like it you can come see me about it okay what is one thing that is from the London Asian world that we don't have in America that's a really good question I I I just saw the salt and pepper fries that was like the thing and by the way I know that not all Chinese takeouts in London have that it was just like one of them but I just thought that was a cool idea cuz I I didn't necessarily I wouldn't necessarily go for the curry fries I would try them but I would definitely go for the salt and pepper fries I'd say um it's it's a really interesting point because now off the top of my head I'm thinking most of my British Asian friends can speak their mother tongue because of the fact that they they might be first gen immigrants or their parents might be the first gen immigrants you know what I mean so I think like there is a greater proportion of asian-americans that I know that can't speak their mother tongue or even can't speak it to a level in which they can communicate with their family or if they were to like you know yeah I would say the rate of losing uh motherland tongue language fluency is pretty high in America yeah 100% so uh as opposed to like in the UK it'd be kind of like strange if you didn't speak it because it's like bro like what what are you doing you know what I mean so it's just like I think that's for sure one thing that um obviously things have changed and you know like it's it's just like not the most easiest thing to learn growing up but what about food food wise food wise food wise bro I'm just thinking um honestly the UK has maybe I mean I would say maybe I mean obviously we've been talking about East Asian and Southeast Asian food but I would like to try some of the higher-end British Indian food yeah that's about cuz I heard they eded butter chicken in Scotland right I don't I don't know if um apart from like maybe a couple of like Indian restaurants in America and especially like New York City I couldn't even tell you like off the top of my head which are ones that are like really highly ranked among the top New York City establishments yeah it's not clear it's not clear I think Indian accent is up there there's some experimental ones Andrew you were saying that you wish from France they would bring the French baguette bread from the French bunes to America I mean of course I mean the French baguette bread is so good and the bunes are so cheap out there didn't you also say Andrew the roob was from Shian had better bread in France too yeah yeah but I think that's also a regional
