So you are a malahini eh? That's (ma la hee nee) or new comer. Okay and you want to eat what we eat right? So here is what you gotta look for at a local dig, ask them if they make Beef Tomato, it is beef cut thin and stir fried with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, onions, and of course tomatoes.
Sorry no pictures for this one, but imagine tender beef slices, marinated umami style, Asian influenced, every chef concocts it to their own specs, but if the chef is any good, he or she can't really mess it up. I've tasted spicy and hot Beef Tomato, I've tasted sweet and sour Beef Tomato, and I've tasted salty Beef Tomato... all good when a local brother is hungry, stomach growling like crazy... it's all good you know.
I guess it's the same anywhere, take pizzas for instance, the Chicago folks claim they got the shits in their town, while New Yorkers claim their pizzas is the shits, so it's a matter of preference. So like Beef Tomato, every diner has their own unique recipe, but the base is all the same, and that is it has to have tender slices of beef and fresh tomatoes.
So look on the menu for Beef Tomato, and wash it down with a nice cold beverage, if a sports bar has it, buy it with a nice cold beer, I'm telling you, Beef Tomato with cold beer is the shits.
