They’re more flexible than me in this regard where there’s some Chinese food that just doesn’t register at all as Chinese food they know and so is therefore completely foreign and worth trying (they’ll also go back to some of the best Chinese food anywhere, where they live)

Whereas I’m mostly grasping at memories of a taste from a distant home and stuff like panda is probably fine if I’m on vacation (because it’s a novelty) but because I live here now it’s a reminder that everyday Chinese food is.. of a different standard
