So I’m currently in Guangzhou, and something interesting happened today.
I went out to eat with a friend. He kept insisting on this particular spot, like “this place is really good, you’ll like it.” But I was also pushing for somewhere else.
Funny thing is, we’ve both actually tried each other’s spots before.
He’s been to mine and didn’t like it. I’ve been to his, and I didn’t like it either.
But somehow, we both still stood our ground
So we ended up going to his spot. We ordered, ate… and just as expected, he enjoyed his food, and I still didn’t.
Now I’m just thinking…
If we had gone to my own spot instead, would it have been the same thing?
Would I be the one enjoying it while he’s just there wondering what the hype is?
Same city, same food… completely different experiences.
Is it just taste? Or something deeper?
