@@johnan06 The way you can money launder is to buy the food there with cash as the co-owner with those inflated prices, then get a kickback for being "a loyal customer". Of course, since they are a private company, you can't see their financials, which is a big benefit to them 👍

True, worse rated can also due to be bad service & so on. These days not just restaurants, there are some very shady food stalls, one of many examples, photo showing mince meat ball & they also said they are selling HOME-made mince meat ball soup, etc. but they are using those highly processed package meat ball which u can buy cheaply in super market which hardly have any meat in those products. And some stalls will sell a few normal dish, & a few "scam" dishes to confuse customers. Probably they are managed by group of scammers use for money laundering.

To explain the beef: In Chinese cooking, a common way of tenderizing beef and other "tough when well done" meats is to coat them in corn starch before cooking. However, too much corn starch will cause the meat to lose it's flavor and become too mushy. The "weird, gamey/funky" taste most likely comes from either over marination or the meat is spoilt but still edible. With 151 you can easily order a lot of food over at mid-ranged restaurants like Dian Xiao Er.

@SimonK3113 4 ай бұрын

@ejoojoo 4 ай бұрын

it's called velveting. usually using starch, baking soda, oil and some other seasonings. Too much baking soda will give off a weird taste.

@intrinsical 4 ай бұрын

Velveting with cornstarch would only cause the meat's to be smooth and only be slightly tender. It would not turn the meat mushy. For it to be mushy, either too much tenderizer (eg baking soda) was used, or the meat was marinated with the tenderizer for way too long.

These kind of restaurants... I believe most of their food is 预制菜 (meals premade in a factory) or comes from a central kitchen. Hence the meat tenderiser etc. The staff they hire are not real chefs, just inexperienced F&B staff who pass the mandatory hygiene class. 70% of the food is just heated up before serving, and they don't even heat up the food properly. I know because I was served cold food at a restaurant in Singapore and the service staff admit "I didn't microwave it for long enough" 😮. The 30% of the food that must be cooked on the spot e.g. fried spring rolls they also anyhow cook and serve. They also cannot tell when to change oil, or simply don't change often to cut costs. If the spring roll is sourish, it's probably not fresh/expired because too little customers patronise the restaurant yet they don't want to waste the ingredients, so they still cook up and serve.

@stever456 4 ай бұрын

Interesting to watch, you could be right about European tastes and it does annoy me here in the UK. I’m going nuts now because when I came to Nepal the food and flavours are so different probably because it’s fresher and local. But I tried other foods like Tibetan and Sherpa and it was amazing. Even my local Nepalese restaurants do not cook in the same way and they all have mostly Indian dishes on the menu so I get disappointed. I know why and why you mention it they all tend to veer on western tastes which is such a shame. If I ever get chance to come to Singapore or that part of Asia I want to eat real local food not tourist food 👍😋
