Your 'soup' question really made me think. At first, I was confused that you called them soups - but then, what were they??
I realize now that they are 'noodle soups' - said like one word in my brain: 'noodlesoup'.
I have to agree that if the noodles sucked in the first dish, then your dish sucked. That noodle soup sucked. It was never *just* about the broth.
Incidentally, I read a NYT article some months back and they described the right chewiness of a noodle as QQ. it's like 'al dente', but in Taiwanese. That second bowl must've had some good QQ noodles 🍜
Oh you know what, I've seen QQ in the name of some boba drinks. So maybe QQ also refers to the chewiness of the boba balls, just like the noodles. QQ is the perfect chewiness - It's all linked 🍜🤝🧋
1) Good looks on The Veggie newsletter - signing up for that ASAP!
2) Could there be any better vehicle (pun) for personal growth than attempting to break the record for moving through all subway stations? How many times would the MTA slow you down before you had the existential realization that we all control nothing and must let it goooooo?!
