It sounds like US shells/tortilla kits are a little better than what they're serving you guys. (Then again we're still allowed all those delicious artificial flavorings and questionably-edible colors.) Even a kit can make a decent taco, given the right attention.

Here, the trouble is with Asian fare. Mostly that most of the time when I look for 'tofu' or 'tamari' I get a dull look and a "whut is dat?"
