Breakfast this morning was won ton min. Beats me if it's served in
the rest of the world. It's garnished with kamaboko and char siu -
Chinese bbq pork. It is important that these noodles/won ton be eaten
with hot Chinese mustard and shoyu. The mustard in the pack was not
very good. You win some, you lose some.

Part of the problem is also that Won Ton soup just doesn't reheat well.
I figure since this was take-out eaten at breakfast, you got it the day
before most likely?
Breakfast soups in my experience is only common in Japan and Thailand
but in Thailand, I was mostly in places like Pattaya (ship liberty
port) with lots of Japanese tourists so the picture might be skewed by
that. Types seved that I recall were 'rice porridge'/congee/juk. By
brunch you started seeing egg drop soups and similar. Won Ton soup
would have not been surprising but with so many choices, I mostly did
the rice ones.
It's tough to get a good noodle soup in a fast food restaurant.

You don't know a thing about saimin. You get the best saimin from hole-in-the-wall
places that look like junkyards. When I was a boy, I'd walk to a >hole-in-the-wall to get a bow of saimin. I think it was 75 cents. A
barbecue stick was 25 cents. It made me feel like a king.
I don't understand why Americans call a McDonald's a restaurant. There's nobody cooking there.

Ok, so Americans don't call a McDonalds, a Taco Bell, a KFC, a Burger
King etc a restaurant. That's clear then. No communication issue
there.

I could have sworn y'all refer to horror joints like McDonald's as
restaurants, hence my concern. It could have been another biscuit
confusion.

wall can sell good food. A fast food restaurant doesn't, by
definition. On another note, I don't understand why Americans call a
McDonald's a restaurant. There's nobody cooking there.
You have different ideas about the meaning of words. Should this be a concern for me? I don't think so.

Yes, Americans refer to fast-food establishments as restaurants. If
I ask Google for "restaurants near me", it will dutifully show the
McDonald's at the nearest freeway exit.

It's tough to get a good noodle soup in a fast food restaurant. The
noodles should be cooked just before serving. These were precooked
noodles with a hot dashi added. Zippy's restaurant has a fast food
section and a sit down section. The sit down section has a pretty
good, proper, won ton min.

It's good to know you keep such good track of Americans,
