Hi @PorkyBelly,
Thanks for the report back. So glad you liked both of the specials! 
Bummer they forgot the nuoc mam for your takeout order!
It was definitely included for our order (and my friendâs order as well). You should let them know (to improve for the future).
That Pork Chop though⊠so juicy right?

I used to joke that I could break an elbow and my mom would blame it on âyeet hayâ! Every malady in life is attributable to âyeet hayâ.

Damn straight. Have you ever asked her what âyeet hayâ is?

J Lou (YouTube Vlogger, half HK Chinese) has a rather comedic approach to explaining Yeet Hay briefly and proceeds to eat some of the most yeet hayest food to see what happens
Itâs one of those experiences where if you say, eat too many deep fried greasy oily foods certain things could happen in your body, like the development of canker sores along the inside of your mouth, or the insides of your mouth wall lining could inflate and you eat something thinking you are savoring each bite and you end up tearing or biting a bit of the insides of your cheek/mouth. Then thereâs the theory of pimples being induced.
Conversely if someone drinks too much boba, cold drinks, eat foods deemed âcoldâ, it could have some negative effects especially for females.
I guess it depends if you are prone to reactions to food. Some also say certain foods induce or proliferate particular allergies.
As J Lou hilariously illustrates, itâs one of those things where older generation parents would âlectureâ their kids for eating certain unhealthy junk foods but in a bit of a more extreme and controlling/guilt tripping way. So it is tongue in cheek by saying âyeet hay lifeâ for the Canto or Chinese Americans who grew up with 0 or 1st gen parents that do the same to them, and now the kids are adults and can do and eat whatever unhinged.
In a way by definition, a lot of FTCers are living the Yeet Hay life too. The people who have it the worst are the old masters who do wok stir fry and inhaling all those yeet hay smokey goodness when they cook (they have special drinks to combat that).

Thatâs why itâs good (and tasty!) to eat durian with a nice cold glass of beer (cold qi) to balance it out.
Mangosteen is the classic (qi) accompaniment + salt water drunk out of the shell.
Or go with the classic â24 Flavorsâ

This is one of the examples where Iâve told my mom that the remedy is worse than the symptom.

My mom used to make use drink that because me and my siblings had pretty bad acne as teenagers. Absolutely horrible. I wouldnât wish that on anybody. So bitter. I probably made the same face that Lao Gan Ma makes

Because âyeet hayâ. Duh! Itâs the only plausible explanation of every malignant conditions that we ever suffer, says every Canto mother in the universe.

I got my mind on my mangosteen and my mangosteen on my mind.
