You bought 7 main meals, what did you expect?

The only rip-off there is the Tsingtao.

>>16115501
16 dollars for a beer
fuck that

>>16115867
>>16115906
that’s for 4 beers

>>16115906
Its imported during a pandemic.
I know it seems like a lot for your poverty sensibilities but for us who are willing to pay a little bit more for the luxury its quite a deal in these times

>>16115867
>>16115906
look at it again

>>16115906
It's terrible beer too. I remember in China I could buy 2 tsingtao tallboys for the equivalent of a dollar. Low as fuck ABV.

>>16115915
>measure beer quality by its ABV
just drink spirits if you want to get pissed

>>16115501
yep. probably in china.
>unpaid

>>16115911

kek i can’t wait for restaurants to go out of business and everything to be mcdonalds

Gonna need a picture of portion sizes but that looks standard for shit that isn't orange chicken in NY

>>16115501
> Orders a giant dinner from a restaurant in New York
>Complains it’s expensive

I was going to ask if you’re retarded, but I see you ordered drinks from them too.

>>16116075
>tfw visited china a few years ago and tsingtao was like a dollar a bottle
Think it’s even cheaper when I bought a large case of cans at Sams Club over there. Not gonna lie it was worth it for the price

>>16115501
>steamed loofah
do the Chinese really?

>>16116075
>falling for obvious b8

>>16116484
I mean it's just a gord. Probably pretty bland when fresh

>>16115501
>Fried shrimp bqll with potato slice.
I know you're supposed to feel hungry an hour after eating Chinese food, but come on.

>>16116515
>it's just a gord
I swear to God I thought it was the corpse of a sea animal

>>16115501

So is $152 legitimately a lot of money for you anons? Those are normal prices for a pre-pandemic sit down meal in a college neighborhood like St Marks. You can easily get all that shit for $30 total going downtown a couple of train stops.

>>16116126
>for take out
>check says DINE IN right near the top

>>16115501
+ 30% tip :^)

>>16115501
i hope you didn't get any mudpie on that receipt

>>16115501
Six or seven entrees and beer, in NY? $150 sounds like a bargain for that hellhole.

>plus tip

>>16115915
people drink tsingtao because its light and floral and goes very well with the food, not because of its ABV. Its also quite memed and thus it isnt cheap

>>16116988
It's a very subpar lager. "light and floral, goes well with food" can apply to almost every lager, that's the entire point of that style.
Found a 6-pack for $9, same price as local craft beers. Tsingtao is actually a pretty rare find in the USA, usually only available at specialty stores or Asian restaurants. Compared it to a $3 Mickey's 40-oz. Noticeably worse than the Mickey's, which really says something. If a beer comes in a green or clear bottle, then you know it's a joke lol. That's why I compared it to the Mickey's, to try to level the playing field.

Pay up city slicker.

>>16115867
>>16115906
Compare the “1” for the Tsing Tao to the 1 on every other menu item.
It’s clearly been a edited to assist in OP’s faggoty need for some (you)’s.

>>16115501
>tip
In europe they just round it to the nearest 10. 160 that's it. You could have gotten an extra beer too for the same price.

>>16115501
It's about as much as you'd pay in Australia for that many mains.

>>16117716
It's a 4, printer has just fucked it up, look at the 3 above

>>16115911
If I put a price tag of $100,000 on a box of shit, would you defend it?

>>16115501
>unironically giving filthy roach chinese this much of your hard earned money

>>16116767
If you pay $150 for a meal you are not rich, just stupid.

>>16115501
Chinese places tend to be really expensive in Australia when compared to other cuisines. I don't know why their dishes are all $20-30 when I could go to a thai/malaysian/indian/vietnamese/korean/whatever place next door and get better food for $13-15. Thai has been the MVP here for a long long time. Chinese food is disgusting too, definitely not worth the prices.

>>16118363
Not a meal - several meals.

Or have you never been on a table with more than 3 people?

Expensive or luxurious chinese restaurants are a fucking scam. They use the same fucking ingredients but the only difference is that the presentation is fancy. Thing is the food tastes the same as your neighborhood chinese restaurant or worse.

Also chinese restaurants tend to rack up the price of tsingtao (I've seen it here at a restaurant I go to asking for € 2 per bottle) and presenting it as something special when it's cheap beer. I buy it at my local asian supermarket at € 0.80 a bottle.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT BAKING SODA IS THE ANCIENT CHINESE SECRET TO MAKING SHIT CUTS OF BEEF AND PORK EDIBLE WITHOUT SLOW COOKING

SIMPLY SOAK THE BEEF OR PORK, CUT UP, IN BAKING SODA AND WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. THEN RINSE IT IN A COLANDER AND PAT DRY

NEXT, BATTER IT IN A PASTE MADE FROM FLOUR, CORN STARCH, AND WATER AND DEEP FRY IT IN LARD. TOSS IT IN SAUCE WITH WHATEVER VEGETABLES YOU SIR FRIED WITH IT AND WAH LAUGH CHINESE FOOD JUST ADD RICE
