  • Sticky Rice: An Asian Treat

    By Chongchen Saelee

    EVERY Southeast Asian should at least have some exposure to sticky rice. You eat it with sauces, main dishes, you can put food into it, roll it, it’s portable, and it can be made into desserts. But this post, I want to show you my favorite foods that go along with stick rice.

  • May is “Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month” in Murica

    Too bad I had no clue. I live it 24/7. What’s another month gone by? If I was truly dedicated to babysitting YouTube viewers, I would have planned an entire shebang of videos, but I think they’re old enough to wipe their butts, so they don’t need me to feed them more junk.

  • Subliminal Marketing Begins for “Batman vs Superman”

    I’ve only been exposed to just a smidge of how America’s monster mass media machine works, but I think I have a pretty good idea how it works.

    Warner Bros. is currently shooting scenes for upcoming film sequel to “Man of Steel” in Michigan.

    So Michigan citizens can expect to slowly get conditioned for the film, now with a supposed affirmative action case being publicised called “Schuette vs. BAMN”. Apparently, it’s something about whitewashing and Asians being the left-out minorities in Michigan when it comes to affirmative action.

    Either or, expect that case name “Schuette vs. BAMN” to be all over the media outlets for a while, Michigan. Subliminally, it’s prepping you for “Superman vs. Batman”.

    So like I’ve state before, I’ll state it again, it’s a messed up world we live in. Don’t be surprised if Warner Bros. and the CIA shoot up another school or create some kind of terrorist act again prior to releasing the movie. It’s a classic case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and they’ve been doing it since the beginning of organized society. That’s pretty fucked up.

  • The Truth About Sriracha

    The Truth About Sriracha
    By Chongchen Saelee

    If you’ve grown up in America in even the most semi of Asian culture, you might be familiar with Huy Fong Foods brand of sriracha, otherwise now synonymously known as “Sriracha” with a capital S in ‘murica. Much like how Americans only fell in love with Chinese wire-fu with Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, there seems to be a late to the train game going on. But mostly, this chili sauce is catching on because it has become known as the hipster ketchup. And ketchup has a stigma for being cheap and junk food (sugar, vinegar, and red dye, no tomatoes whatsoever). These modern hipsters are putting it on EVERYTHING. But real Asians were just using it in pho. (more…)
