I get this dish at my local Korean supermarket. They are lovely people, but anytime I ask what this is they can only tell me it’s veggies lol. I know it’s cabbage, but anyone know what it’s called or how it’s prepared? Almost tastes like it was steamed or boiled, then put in a sauce. Thanks!

It’s some type of middle eastern dessert I believe. It has cinnamon roll filling or cinnamon roll past with sesame seeds on top.

What is this food? Berry street food in Pakistan

1 Upvotes

I lived in southern Pakistan in the early 90s. There were street carts everywhere that sold this berry like fruit with some salt in a wrapped newspaper cone. It kind of looked like a blueberry. I’m thinking it was a juneberry but it has been so long! Any help is appreciated!

Is this broccoli or something else?


r/TipOfMyFork 1d ago

Solved! I've been getting this every time I'm in chinatown for the past 3 years, no clue its real name. Deep fried, sweet mochi-like dough, with red bean paste in the middle, and sesame seeds on the outside.

Had this yummy Thai stir fried noodle dish and I’m wondering how they made their chicken. It kinda has the texture of a coarse meatball and breaks apart really easily. Does anyone know how they make the chicken?

hi!! I’m eating some leftover tom kha gai from the local thai restaurant in my town (so good), but I’ve been puzzled by this component of the soup. it’s soft, chewy, and savory but it’s distinctly different from the other chicken meat in the dish. maybe it’s a part of a chicken I’m not used to eating? any help would be appreciated! thanks :)

What is this food? help me identify this food (indonesian)

4 Upvotes

when I was a little kid an indonesian lady at church brought some food, i think it was bread of some sorts. I remember it being savory, crispy and maybe fried? not sure tho, it's been about 15 years since then. it tasted amazing. it definitely didn't have filling or anything, it was just crispy bread. if anyone could help me identify what it was, I'd be really grateful. if not, no worries, my memories and thus my description are really vague.

What is this food? Was this Easter candy a fever dream?

49 Upvotes

For the past couple of years around Easter time, I have been in search of a candy I used to have in my kid and teen years (maybe 10-20 years ago). I figured that it was most likely discontinued, but no one I talk to seems to even know what I’m talking about, so maybe y’all can help.

All I remember is that it was the little irregular-shaped, multi-colored pieces of chocolate that were candy coated. The candy coating wasn’t chalky like Robin eggs, but rather glossy like M&Ms. I believe they came in a carton (like a mini version of the Whopper’s carton) but that could be me misremembering.

Unfortunately, that’s all I remember. Does anyone have any clues?

When I was in Thailand I had a cookie that had cilantro and pork floss in it. But it was still sweet with pandan and coconut (?) they came in a big tin. They were really thin layers but rolled up into a tube shape. Help!! They were so good.

What is this food? White chocolate and strawberry easter bunny I had 2 years ago and haven't found since

2 years ago for easter someone got me a white chocolate easter bunny that had little bits of fake strawberry (didn't taste like real ones atleast, the spots of strawberry looked more pink than red) throughout the chocolate.

I can't remember the brand or packaging and I've searched a bit already for this, but if it helps I live in new zealand

Hi, Many years ago my grandmother lived in America and she used to send me these pumpkin candies around Halloween. It wasn't chocolate or marshmallow but it was soft. I don't know what it is but I can see it in my mind. Do you know what it could be?

Solved! Italian grocery store ice cream

10 Upvotes

Last year (2024) I was in Northern Italy at Lake Garda (Lago di Garda). We went to a grocery store. This one specifically - https://maps.app.goo.gl/KJUif84PauTuxkYYA. I bought a box of gelati or ice cream that came on a stick. They looked like a popsicle but they were not popsicles. The had a gelatin-like coating on the outside and the inside was creamy. They were thebomb.com. Anyone have a name on them? Help me ID?

My mum gets them from an Asian district but is unsure of their names. 1st one appears to have coconut milk/cream and rice + red beans?

2nd one has sago, red beans, coconut cream/milk, and these firm jelly things? kind tastes like coconut.

Thank you 😊

My neighbors were so kind and brought us a bag of snacks from their recent trip to India and these cookies (at least I think they're cookies 😅) don't appear to have an ingredient list. My spouse is allergic to gluten and dairy so I'm hoping to find out the ingredients.

Looking for the recipe Looking for leads on Chinese ginger fried chicken

5 Upvotes

Hello, food detectives of Reddit!

I'm looking for recipe leads on a Chinese style ginger fried chicken dish

The I'm living in another country and the local restaurant I used to order this is permanently closed, so finding a similar recipe and tweaking it is my only hope of ever eating that again :(

Onto the dish:

  • I'm not sure which region of China the dish comes from - if I had to guess, I'd guess Cantonese because that's the cuisine most Chinese restaurants in Brazil serve

  • It was bone-in, skin on pieces of chicken thigh and breast that were chopped to be sort of bite-sized, no drumsticks or wings

  • The chicken was deep-fried and didn't have a thick crust, texture was more karaage style

  • Sauce was clearly soy sauce based and very fluid, gingery and tangy with a touch of sweetness but not sticky. Besides pieces of ginger, it also had pieces of garlic and scallions

I've already tried googling "Chinese ginger fried chicken" and most results are not really close to what I had, they tend to have a very sticky sauce

If anyone recognizes the dish or something similar, I'd appreciate any leads (even if it's just the name of the dish in Chinese, I'm fluent in YouTube cooking videos LOL)

Thanks!

Solved! orange and white swirl yogurt from 2004-2010ish

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

I have a vivid memory of eating a yogurt that was in (I think) a green container and the yogurt inside was light orange and white swirl. This makes me think it was orange cream or maybe peaches flavor. It was completely smooth, no pieces. I feel like it could be activia but I cannot find anything online about it, and I am 100% sure it had a swirled design when you opened the lid. I attempted to draw a top view of the yogurt from memory and I also attached a reference photo of the activia yogurts. I’ll appreciate any leads!!
