I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever been to what would be considered a “great” Asian restaurant by world standards.
I’m not snobby in this regard. Some of the best food I ever tasted came from a 70 year old man pushing a noodle cart down the street. In Asia, it’s very common for places to specialize in a single dish. So Pad Thai or Wonton Noodles is just a stand alone business serving that single item. When a restaurant starts trying to serve 20 different things, you end up getting a decrease in quality. Also, the specialization of individual dishes results in lower prices. You are basically paying fast food prices for real food in places like Singapore/Hong Kong/Seoul/etc. I think that this also ties into USA urban sprawl and car dependence which is a negative for food culture/street food.
I am sure that NYC/California have lots of great options, but sadly I have only spent a trivially amount of time in those states.
This is the best place I have eaten in Desantisland.
I’ve never been, but Wing Lei at the Wynn was the first Chinese restaurant in North America to get a Michelin star. (Michelin no longer rates Vegas restaurants.) Din Tai Fung, which has a Michelin star for its Hong Kong branch, has a location at Aria. I’m not really into fine dining, though. Guides would tell you that places like Nobu, Lotus of Siam, and Mott 32 are supposed to be elite.
I don’t know great, so much as I know what I like. Places I like in Vegas include Ping Pang Pong, Raku, Izakaya Go, Shang’s Artisan Noodle, and Monta Ramen.
It’s the massive insecurity. He can’t just be rich, he needs people to be impressed with the opulence. The irony is that the harder he tries to impress, the more he is laughed at. He’s always been like this, he desperately wants to be accepted be the traditional NYC ultra rich and they just laugh at him.
It reminds me of the house of those two St. Louis nutjobs who pointed guns at protestors who walked past their house. However, there were some people here who actually said that house was “well done for what it was” or something like that. Looks more or less the same as Ivana’s house to me. I don’t have a good eye for this stuff.
