What's the best mall food you've ever had?
Cracco was pretty good in Milan
>>21124067tf even is this? look like something out of the Fifth element
Do hawker centers count?
>>21124069it's tagliatelle made with cured egg yolks, iirc.Cracco is a Michelin starred restaurant, I don't know why he brought it up in a mall food thread.
>>21124100only hawker tuaher
>>21124021i like to lick the benches in the forever 21 changing rooms
>>21124021I really liked the pizza breadsticks at Orange Julius, would always buy my parents to get me one (they rarely did)
>>21124021New York Fries with lots of salt and malt vinegar, and an Orange Julius.
>>21124021there's a gyro place at the mall by me and they're pretty good. they really load them up with meat and the fries are decent
Pretty much any mall in my home country its mediocre slop unless im really craving a big pile of shitty american chinese garboBangkok has insanely good mall food, even outside of the big malls you can go to the cheaper little cafeteria style food courts that all the office workers and students go to and get a pretty bangin Pad Krapao usually
>>21124021Gotta say Sarku Japan is still top tier.
Any place that does huge heaping mounds of teriyaki or bourbon chicken for like $5. Can't find it anywhere else, it's only ever at food courts in a mall somewhere.
>>21125913yup
>>21124021>What's the best mall food you've ever had?Miami's La Fogata.Nicaraguan churrasco w/chimmichurri, queso frito w pickled cabbage, gallo pinto beans and rice, and more garnishes on the side. Maduros, and save room for the country that invented the tres leches dessert.Also have fond memories of Lebanese Taverna inside of the Pentagon food court :P Fabulous shawarma and baba ghanoush!
If regular supermarket hot case food counts, then seafood city has some pretty damn good breakfast
For me, it's Sbarro.
>>21124021Most anything at The Tavern at Phipps Plaza. Too bad they closed down but cultural change made that type of place no longer viable.
I am a man of simple malls
>>21128643amen.
>>21128643That cold cola in those waxy cups and a pepp pizza after hitting up the arcade, kb toys, the coin machines, the boring stores your mom drug you to and getting stuck in the elevator alone for 1 floor was peak bliss. Heaven until niggers ruined it.
>>21126977>Can't find it anywhere else, it's only ever at food courts in a mall somewhere.Yeah, I've seen it maybe one time at a standalone Chinese place and it was really fucking good.
>>21124021what you posted nigga
>>21128724saddest post in all of /ck/
>>21124021LJS, AHOYY MAYET
man i only ever eat chinese sloppa if i have to eat mall food. it’s always some form of this>chow mein or whatever is their thin, stringy yellow fried noodles with some veggies>general tso chicken>broccoli, snow pea, bean sprout side in some sort of gravy
>>21124021The mall by me had this pizza place that I can't remember the name of, but it was pretty damn good. Also the Mongolian bbq place was always a staple
>>21124021HOT DOGS!
>>21124021The food court at my local mall (RIP) had an amazing Chinese place with great general Tso 's chicken. It's what I was eating when I hit puberty while looking at a poster of Krystal in the EB Games nearby. This of course ruined me forever but damn that was some good chicken.
>>21128643>>21128777>>21128792I love Sbbaro’s. My gf always lets me take the first bite of her slice. I usually get Chinese though
>>21124021this chain that is slowly starting to show up in mall food courts around SoCal... last time I ate there there was a long line while the nearby Panda Express had no takers. kek. Even the no wait situation at Panda couldn't sway me out of the line for QW
>>21128724>Too bad they closed down but cultural change made that type of place no longer viable.
Gen X old fag here It's a tie between Hot Dog on a Stick, old school Chik Fil A, and old school McDonalds
Wherever gets me a good pile of chinese chicken and lo mein. Usually end up with more than I can eat in one sitting. >>21134061Old school CFA was something else, we loved to collect the tiny books. Never can forget that smell walking into the food court
>>21125913I thought most of them closed during COVID
>>21124021There was this place called 187It was a Jamaican Jerk spot that had a amazing lunch combo for 10-16 dollars depending on what you got.Jerk Chicken, Coconut Rice and peas, steamed cabbage, hella seasoned. Probably gonna go there just to get it
>>21134758Huh.There was a mall in Philadelphia that had a good Jamaican spot but I can't remember the name. The mall remodeled and while it's still in business, it had absolutely none of the original charm. That place was weird, too. Had two and a half food courts and the one I call a half was just a hallway with only one true restaurant in it, a Chinese joint. Everything else in it was weird food shit that doesn't belong in a mall, like a butcher, a green grocer and a fishmonger. Also an Auntie Anne's.Was your Jamaican place in Philadelphia?
>>21124021sarku japan chicken teriyaki on white rice with extra sauce. It's so good I never tried anything else they made. they are staffed by mexicans.
>>21137603
>>21126977does bourbon chicken exist outside of mall food courts?
>>21124101so what is it?
>>21126977>>21137608I feel bad the bourbon chicken place at my mall was really good but the teriyaki place >>21137603>>21137605was right next to it and I chose them 99% of the time. The bourbon chicken place is out of business now.
>>21124021mall in tucson az gyro guy, long gone now but they were the best "american" gyro ever
>>21125278King Kebab by chance?
>>21137608Yeah. About half of the Chinese takeaways near me have it.
>>21137603>>21137605>sarku japan chicken teriyaki on white rice with extra sauceThis is also what I like
>>21137758Where do you live? Around me it’s only mall food courts or pei wei.
BBQ chicken at the Fox Run Mall in Exteter NH in the 2000’s was amazing. Pizza was also good. Which I could remember what those places were called
>>21137770you got to get the noodles
>>21124069>>21137609garbage you pay $150 for>WH08
>>21124021The Chinese buffet that used to be at my nearest supermarket's food court. I don't know what it was, but despite being left in heated trays all day, every bit of meat was tender and the vegetables were still crisp. It was also cheap as eat at most fast food places, so I'd just mix and match their biggest container with different mains and sides, then just eat the different sections for a meal over the next few days. Sadly, it was shut down when the cinema it was next to renovated the whole entryway and they just vanished. I miss that place.
I ate some steak with fries, fried egg and caramelized onion for $6. The steak was extremely good, that chef sure knows how to properly sear.
>>21128643Based
Why is mall Chinese always worse than restaurant Chinese, despite all the suppliers being the same?
the generically named asian places with containers of, what felt like lo mein, teriyaki or bourbon chickenalways getting replaced and remodeled but having the same damn food that was worth a trip to the mall just for iti've never tried velveting meat but it might be worth it
>>21124021Chick fil a and cozzolis in the 90s. And some random philly cheesesteaks place many years later.
>>21128643I used to work at a mall Sbarro in KY. The pizza and the baked ziti are good when they're fresh from the oven. Good stuff. Even my dad liked the ziti, which is weird since he eats like a 1940's seaman and despises pizza.
