Excited
For all the alarmists out there that media is contributing to the blight of interracial White Guy/Asian Girl relationship, y’all are gonna love this Chinese soy sauce commercial, which involves — yes, you guessed it — a boy and a girl who meet in a supermarket, feed each other braised pork and onion rings dipped in delicious Kim Ve Wong soy sauce, then magically age ten to fifteen years in the same clothes and house, still feeding each other said braised pork and onion rings.
No, I don’t really understand either. The tale of soy-sauce braised courtship is display in the bottom in Chinese and was translated by food blog Serious Eats, and with the blog entry comes with some pretty hilariously snarky comments on their side:
winkyj: “Whatever, her mom would never introduce her to a white guy.”
redzerostar: “i love you, chinese girlfriend who cooks for me.” “i love you too, zak efron, let me feed you onion rings.” mm i could totally eat an onion ring dipped in juice now.
In any case, the Kim Ve Wong commercials remind me a lot of the controversial-with-my-friends Golidlock’s commercials that ran on the International Channels a couple of years ago, where Filipino bakery chain Goldilocks tells you to spend all your life moments with their delicious baked goods; so long as your husband is a white guy. But even more outrageous: who would serve onion rings with braised pork belly? That’s the travesty in my eyes.

I LOVE THIS. Man, if some white guy tried to feed me onion rings instead of the whole plate of delicious braised pork belly, I'd dump him in a second.
