What ingredient is it that they put in Chinese & Thai food that gives you the same taste in your mouth long after you finish eating? Also, not to be gross, but when you burp it always tastes the same.

Thanks to all who answered, BUT everyone's answer is different! I still don't know what ingredient to blame.

It's MSG. It manipulates you taste buds and makes everything taste same.
In America we thinks it's bad for you, but the Chinese have eaten it for hundreds of years and for the most part are a pretty healthy race.

It could also be fish sauce which is another common ingredient that is used in addition to everything else mentioned.
