well i committed tax fraud in the state of wisconsin so i don't have clean hands unfortunately.

This reminds me that it has been way too long since I've had good Japanese food. I want it.

[Caldwin]

I have a few Chinese restaurants around me. The only Japanese places I know of around here are the more expensive hibachi places.

[MEDdMI]

Some of the supermarkets have ok-ish sushi if I'm desperate. The legit Japanese sushi place is a sometimes deal due to price. The buffet is a good middle ground, but even for takeout we refuse to go there until the pandemic is over. I can also make my own, but effort.

[Princess Viola]

Uber Eats is now saying that the Japanese place I ordered from last summer is now 'too far away to order'. hug off, where am I supposed to get my goddamn onigiri jelly-filled donuts now, huh?

Ya'll are making me hungry for sesame chicken and crab rangoon.

I know it's nowhere near as good as getting it from a sit-down restaurant or even takeout, but I bought some frozen teriyaki chicken and frozen white rice last week at Walmart and I'm looking forward to whenever I eventually have them because I already know I like this brand, I've a few of their frozen Chinese and Japanese dishes and I do think they're generally in the upper-tier of 'frozen Asian dishes', especially compared to shit like this:

 

Fun fact: Those are literally chicken nuggets. Like the actual ingredients calls them that.

[MEDdMI]

What brand is the one you like?

[Princess Viola]

Innovasian.

[MEDdMI]

Not sure if I've seen that one around, will have to take a look sometime.

Are they good chicken nuggets at least?

[MEDdMI]

This is for you, Fnu.

Somehow Fnu would get that to run Cyberpunk glitch-free.

it's $1.24 for chicken nuggets, rice, sauce, and the various accoutrements

 

what do you think about the quality of the nuggets?

[Logicron]

The lower the cost, the greater the proportion of the meal that's pure salt.

[Princess Viola]

not really.

 

the banquet meal has 520 mg of sodium and innovasian's sweet and sour chicken has 430 mg per serving. not that much different tbh. plus the innovasian one is just the chicken, you're probably gonna want one of their side dishes with it and that can vary from no extra sodium (the plain white rice) to an additional 800 mg (the chicken fried rice, which is technically considered another entrée and not a side dish but come on)

[Logicron]

I buy a brand of frozen chicken fried rice that's six bags per box. They're meant to be eaten as side dishes but I eat them as a snack instead because they're microwaved in three minutes.

[Princess Viola]

I kinda like the Taipei little frozen Asian dishes that basically come in ice cream tubs. They're not like high-tier frozen food or anything (again they're like $2.50) but they're ok little microwaved fried rice things.

[Fnu Aw]

*takes notes*

 

I haven't paid enough attention to these things because there's multiple good Chinese takeout restaurants near my neighborhood. It would probably be good to have something in the freezer for emergencies.

 

Does anybody make something that's actually a whole dinner's worth of calories and not just "part of a balanced meal" if paired with some other things I'm never actually going to make with it?

Apparently there was an official tie-in involving Sanrio characters and Kancolle's wacky animal mascots.

Also, I feel like I've become this site's resident Kancolle person.
