It's a familiar taste, but it's different. The chef changed the spices and gave this dish I've eaten everyday a slight new twist to trick my brain into thinking that I'm eating something else. Yep, it's definitely the same dish but it seems like there are many forms of it cooked by multitudes of different chefs of different backgrounds and locales. While I don't think I'd enjoy it, it does seem like something I'd try for a while to see if I'd crave more of it.
Oh wait, this is a manga forum thread.
Yeah, this is okay at best, but I'll stick around to see what comes next.
