Having rice and noodle in USA

American (processed/microwaveable) food are fine, but when it comes to rice or noodle products, they suck.

The rice products are too oily, seems that Americans want to make their food appear as "Asian" as possible that they immerse the rice in any oil greases they could add it to.

The noodle products, on the other hand, are bland.

Totally bland, accompanied by one seasoning powder and nothing else.

The only choice for me to look for tastier Asian food is of course, Chinese restaurants. There, I could have fried rice for as low as $4.00 per portion.
