    I hate it when rice is separate in the menu and you can’t tell from the price whether it’s for sharing or if they’re just ripping you off.

      My rule of thumb is if the menu has like 300 items and written with size 10 font, rice is going to be included and will be idiot sized.

      If there’s only 15 items, or the menu has the word “Asian fusion”, then assume rice is extra and will be like a small non-sharable bowl.

      I saw a video where people have been freezing their rice … which is something I need to start doing because I just wind up eating way too much rice for meals.

          I like to make extra rice to turn into fried rice.

          And then I realize I don’t really like fried rice and I freeze that.

    In my younger days that would be a normal serving. And I might have a second bowl too.

    Chinese restaurant? If Youtube comedians have taught be right then every portion larger than a spoonful is ‘idiot’ size.

      Or drop a trail of them to find your way back to the table from the bathroom if you have a very bad sense of direction and also a small bladder.
