Which food you think most OVERRATED?

For me I think Korean food is overrated, because they all taste more or less the same. Only up is those proper restaurants mini dish can refill. Although there are more traditional Korean food similar to Chinese, it's mostly not available unless you go Ampang area. But then compare to Chinese dish theirs kinda bland.

Thai Food also overrated, simply open a Thai or Tomyam stall, confirm will have many people eat whether taste good or not not a problem.

Most trending hype food are overrated regardless of origin

But Korean food trend seems never die, everyday gets stronger.

bcoz many ppl watch too many korean drama, got influenced by that

korean food taste like only got few type of taste. and mostly taste like shit.
only fucking koreafag go eat those dog shit

Penang Gurney Drive Rojak and Laksa most overrated.
Tourist trap area.

/k food!

Korean food. gave it many chances n had it about a dozen times. more den half were made by Koreans not locals. the only one i enjoyed was the korean bbq.

the other noodles, rice bibimbap n etc i did not like.

bibimbap i hated d most. why d fark put so much things in a bowl of rice ? i know the fresh veggies r healthy but im not a rabbit.

hype food

Korean. Almost every dish they use the same kimchi and bean paste.

If you know how poor was korea for the past 200 years. You must be to try korean food

Bodo reporter is bodo

LOL 7 others feel the same - Korean food sucks
(except for their BBQ beef)

BBQ/Kimchi/watered down Kimchi/Ginseng/Kimchi/kimchi/more Kimchi.

Meat/Meat/Meat/Meat/More meat.

yea that is why i say all taste the same, i don't think it's difficult to make Korean dish that doesn't taste like Korean food, only thing is need to get the texture cooked properly.

i don't know how people can keep eating the same taste food like that especially those OLs. It's like eating Nasi Kandar everyday, how can tahan?

But like i said, there's traditional Korean food similar to Chinese food, but so far only see Ampang got such restaurant, their food like Bento style. Taste abit bland.

Lol. Quite sad at that vegan response. Was hoping a chance to get to read it. Haha, O well.

Penang food

Bibimabap not bad la, good when you don't have much appetite, but what i cannot accept is the exorbitant price it's asking. Seriously a bowl of Claypot White rice with raw vegetables and 1 egg and a soup+kimchi sidedish never go below rm13. Seriously how much is the cost you asking rm13 IN A FOOD COURT? Restaurant charge even more expensive for such simple dish.

Food Court Claypot Chicken rice also no dare charge rm10.

nothing to read, he says meat/dairy/eggs overrated. totally out of topic and stupid.

Nothing wrong with Korean food. Just the crap we get served up here, along with the Japanese restaurants.

You know what the problem here is? Its not possible for a restaurant to specialize. Over in Korea and Japan, the vast majority of eateries serve only 1 type of food or a limited menu and are really good at what they do.

Over here, people expect 'variety' and a Japanese restaurant will have to serve sushi, sashimi, ramen, teppanyaki, etc all at the same time. All because a lot of Malaysian so-called foodies actually are idiots and will whine if the place has limited selection.

Likewise, Korean restaurants have to serve bbq, bulgogi, bibimbap, ginseng chicken, etc. All because that's also expected of a Korean place.

There are quite a lot of Korean dishes I have grown fond of. Their spicy tofu soup. Kimchi jjigae. A well-made bibimbap. And I'm not even a plastic fan.

Ah, i see. Ok, thanks for taking time to type it out.

Hmm, i prefer Korean food because healthy. , and no i dont watch korean stuffs.

Favorite is Bibimbap

Got 5 voted Arab. May I know why?

I see Arab restaurant actually mix of Arab + Western food. Price wise, not so expensive even though they increased the price.

the only korean dishes i like are yukgaejang and bbqued meat. the rest boring

This is true

For most Malaysians, Japanese food = salmon sushi

Man, I miss those specialized shops selling tonkatsu donburi only

Mamak food mana?

it's like saying Chinese restaurants serve crappy food because they have too wide range of food on their menu, you go Hong Kong you'll see the same exorbitant menu. if Chinese restaurant can do that without problem, i don't see how Simple food like Korean & Japanese cannot do the same.

Also most Japanese restaurants in Japan serves wide range of food, unless it's a specialty shop like Ramen shop etc, which you can find in Malaysia.

It's the cut cost and use locals/foreigners cook instead of professional chefs that's the main issue. And also ingredients are less fresh since Malaysia always get subpar meat.

part of indian/Pakistan.

wahahahahaha
this is the best sohem report i seen so far

yeah, restaurants that specialize quite rare. there's a Japanese place that just serves yakitori in ss15, though. a lot of japanese eat there

manhattan fish market. will never ever walk into that overprice shiat again.

Yeah, and their tonkatsu is typically pork.

Not the crappy chicken type that we get here.

None of the above.

It is obviously macarons.

That place in publika is also very authentic.

I'm referring to Senya Izakaya. Oh man, when you step into that place, its almost like walking into a slice of Japan in Malaysia.

Edit: However, I don't think Izakayas normally serve sushi or sashimi though. They do here because, well...Malaysia.

you don't need rocket science to make good Yakitoris dude. just need to pay attention when cooking them. Sos is standard, depends how you dilute them.

hardest Japanese Food to make is actually Tempura. so far 95% Japanese shop i've eaten so far either too crispy, breading too thick, too soggy, or too dry. to make it close to perfect really takes lots of skills. You might say Sashimi & Sushi takes more skill, but to be honest, as long as you remove the bones & non-edible part which requires abit of skill & food knowledge, the freshness is more important, it'd taste more or less when you eat them, ok the rice might fall apart, but Tempura, takes real skill. most people don't know shit about Japanese restaurants and keeps taking Sashimi & Sushi as Benchmark to rate a restaurant.

Not accurate la... Pakistan where got serve banana leaf, and indian food where got kuah campur mamak.

Its like saying korean, japanese and chinese food is the same.. Bongok.

It is Chinese culture to have many dishes, even though they are just variation (the same fish you can do sweet sour, teow chew steam, stir fry, butter fry, etc). Any tastes you can think of, from the lightest to the heaviest, they have recipe for it.

But for Japanese and Korean food, they only do their meats a certain way, simplest possible. It's a sin to over dress a hunk of tuna. Or heap truffles onto fermenting kimchi. Hence their specialty in, well, specializing

Kenny Rogers ok?

there's a ma maison tonkatsu place near where i live. haven't tried though, quite pricey

Hardest food to master in Japanese food, is tamago.

In traditional Japanese kitchen, unless you can master the making of tamago, you are not alone do touch any other ingredients

But of course modern Japanese cook rarely hold on to that standard anymore. It's all about mass produce and satisfying customers now

Tempura Harder. The difference is too hard to ignore. 9/10 japanese restaurants can't cook decent Tempuras. yet dare charge so expensive.

Just to add on for my post above:

Even Gordon Ramsey uses egg as standard interview tests for cooks

You can't do eggs perfectly = you got no business working in his kitchen

o.o as expected of people living in food paradise. all can consider a gourmet already.

Ma Maison i google long time already, have very bad reviews.

Ma Maison Singapore, quite good, but totally different company & food.

Its like saying american burger beats italian fine dining because they only concentrate on burger and fries


Look at history about japan and korea. They are always poor and hungry.

definitely vegan

First of all its apple and orange

You can't say Chinese food better than Korean/Japanese because it's got more variety

The same reason why you can't say American burger better than Italian fine dining

And Italian fine dining? That's a modern avant-garde thing bro

Italian food are about heartiness and "mum's food"

Try serving Italians a plate of 6 dressed up tortilini 20 years ago, chances are you'll get stabbed lol

Japan always Poor & Hungry? Then China should be always die of hunger liao.

Actually, Chinese food is indeed better than Korean/Japanese because it's variety, in fact many Korean & Japan dish originate from Tong Shan.

I agree on Thai food

You can find them anywhere

hard to choose between Malay and Korean.

What jew toking?

You cant say jap and korean food are awesome because you spent rm200/head on it.

try spend rm200/head on chinese/malay/american burger .

Then i confirmed you know nothing about japan and china.

Lol this also lipoted? Kidding me

Its not great. You can get better in Japan.

But yeah, its still better than most of the restaurants here in MY that serve chicken katsudon.

advocado most overrated fruit

So price determines the tastes now?

Btw sushi is like dirt cheap here, and over there people hate you forever for disrespecting it

I don't know which food is overrated, but I am sure that Mexican foods are the best among the choices above!

when i talk mexican i can only imagine tacos.

i tried the mexican restaurant in Gardens Midvalley, near the Hotel Entrance one, beside the Chinese Restaurant. The Chinese Restaurant not bad but pricey, weekends many rich people go there eat.

the mexican restaurant i eat their roast chicken, not bad, but 1st time they serve me not fully cooked, so i haz dissapointed even though they recook, it's not new chicken.

korean food sucks

I am not really into tacos. Prefer chilaquiles and guacamole.

Bodoh mana la yang report ni

Chips and guacamole

its true. ive yet to taste a single korean food that is delicious. most of them r pretty average.

Too bad that I don't know where we can find nice mexican foods here in klang valley

Lot of butthurt ppl in /k/ ba.

all taste the same, how to tell delicious or not? unless meat not fresh or overcooked, sos are pretty much the same. like Japanese food most sos are ready made, Kikkoman/Kewpie etc.

'Used' jiken
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

malaysian food

Compare.chinese food with korean food, topkek

Filipino food?

other restaurants, even Chinese Dai Chow, will be too embarrassed to recook the same chicken/fish, i've had 2 non-fully cooked 1 Salmon, 1 half steam fish this year, both they take back and make new one, despite i already ate a chunk of the Salmon, but ironic is, expensive Chinese Restaurants, never give new fish, but cook back same fish.

For Fish, if you recook or reheat, won't taste as good as 1 shot well cooked.

If in Western country, the Cook would have come out and apologize themselves.

never seen b4. i think opening pinoy restaurant good opportunity, if you know how to cook, coz many pinoys now working in Malaysia.

nepals too.

but i don't know how those food look/taste like.

Sorry la here no such culture, complain some more later they mod your jiken then you know.

Malaysian food mana?

Yea agrees on korean, spicy then can open restraunt

Mmhmmm

Advocado should open a food blog

totally agree with you... korean suck big time... kimchi? yucks... taste like foods only pregnant mums with 24/7 morning sickness would like.

Japanese food

Vietnam food a mix of korean, japanese and malaysian food
Completely overated though
