Dimsums, Kimchis, Hamburgers
Noticed many people discussing the relative pros & cons of Dimsums (Chinese), Kimchis (Korean), and Hamburgers (White). For what its worth, here's my take (personal opinion only). I enjoy a good hamburger every now and then, but three factors deter me from eating them more often. First of all, most of them are in DT which is far for me, and they often get off work too early for me to catch them. The second and more important reason is that I like to do comparison shopping when hunting for a meal. This is not a problem for Dimsum and Kimchi restaurants, but Hamburger joints frown upon this practice and may ban you for it, while robbery is a very real risk for visiting hotel/motel-based independents. Also, Hamburger meals tend to be "large portioned" and look much older compared to Dimsums/Kimchis. I love Kimchis. Especially when I watch those hot Korean girl pop bands dancing on television. Some people complain about artificial enhancements, but that is a personal preference, and for me, I don't mind. All things equal, of course I prefer all-natural, but perfection is rarely found in nature, and I would rather have finely-crafted man-mades than poorly-formed natural products. The only downside to Kimchi meals is that they are too professional and high-traffic. It is quite common for Kimchis to service more than a dozen customers a day. I've heard of Kimchis that arrive to work prepared with a supply of antibiotics to suppress vaginal infections that result from overwork. Dimsums are the most interesting group. In fact, when talking about Dimsums, we should not confuse the 2 very different subgroups, one of which is the older (late20s and older) which are full-time professionals, and the aged 19-24 group which is increasingly rare find these days. I've noticed many bros raising the point that Dimsums are much much cheaper in China and thus it doesn't make sense to eat them here. I personally believe that this is a very misguided notion. The main distinction is that Dimsums working in China are professionals that service a large number of customers per day (much like the Kimchis here). That is very different from the young Dimsums over here who usually are students working part-time. A genuine 援交妹 in HongKong will cost around HK$1200-1500 plus hotel expense just for one shot, and often their attitudes are cocky and they will leave as soon as you blow your load. Compared to that, eating a young Dimsum here for $140 is actually quite a good deal. In fact, most young Dimsums will try to hook a 富二代 or try to find 包養 instead of working for garages. So if you ever come across an acceptable looking young Dimsum, don't miss out on such a rare treat!
