there is something to be said for one's own culture. people say i'm american (and i agree with them) but i was born to chinese parents, and there will always be part of me that loves good chinese food.
gardenburgers and fries get old,
falafel and hommos get old,
dal and samosas and bhindi masala are wonderful,
but i couldn't eat them all the time.
on the other hand, a mai-fun noodle bowl with choy and with veggie shu-mai can't be beat. it is easy to make at 3am, which is a true test of a comfort food.
i could eat it on the hottest day of summer, sweat for an hour, and still be happy. as it happens, the calendar favors me now, and i can warm up to soup noodles [1] all winter long .. (-:
[1] "noodle soup" reminds me of chicken noodle soup from bad cafeterias. this is not what i mean. i mean noodles served in soup, but not as a stew.
