    Misushit?

    May 16, 2017 /

    This is probably the best Matsushita knockoff name, ever (combined with a retailer’s misspelling) – and that’s saying a lot since Matsushita and National brands were folded into Panasonic years ago. These trusted brand names live on in developing countries, even if new product lines do not. I’ve seen quite a few Matsushita, National, and Panasonic knockoff names (and that’s just a few from this electronics group), but the most often honored here and elsewhere is probably Mitsubishi, including the following permutations: Mitsuboshi:”Three hats” Mitsubashi: “Three bridges” Mizubashi: “Water bridge” Matsuboshi: “Pine hat” etc. “Mitsubishi” literally means “three water chestnuts,” but “-hishi” is what we call a diamond mark so it’s just…

Best of all, it’s sandwiched between a second rank gas station restroom and minimart. Need I say more? It’s an epic hole in the wall.

    Moo Daeng (“Red Pork”)

    May 2, 2017 /

    The Thai variant of char siu is often too lean and served with overly sweet sauce… This place does it well, though.
