So it's a Somalian-Chinese dish out of New Orleans! I didn't know that.


one of these days I'll have to try it. I only know about it because when it got busy, my team and I would take turns running to the food court downstairs and pick up our collective orders and one of my teammates would insist on getting it. I've changed jobs since then but I still see it in food courts (well, before the pandemic).
Lately I've more been hankering for uyghur food, especially their skewers, but most of the restaurants I know of have permanently shut down.
