super-compressed high octane broths! they're an acquired taste - some friends can't stand them. essence of chicken is probably the least 'strange' of the whole lot. my favourite is essence of cordyceps sinensis with bird's nest, warmed up in a bowl of hot water (usually on mornings of exams :) )
"Happier days are ahead, struggle has ended"
just got this from a FB fortune cookie.. the reassurance is much appreciated :)
hmm...we need a restaurant chain serving American Chinese food in China to perpetuate the myths and serve misguided American tourists so they won't be subjected to disillusionment.
I'll have a panino with just-sliced Umbria-style porchetta (more crispy skin please) and caramelised onions, freshly made at the weekly market stall!
After falling in love with their Crema di Gianduja Extrafondente (with extra-dark chocolate), we visited Locanda La Posta in Cavour, Piedmonte, and got ourselves more, including a bottle of Crema di Gianduja al Rhum. What could be more sinful than alcoholic indulgence for breakfast...
This is one of my favourite recipes, since I first came across jerusalem artichokes last year. I've made it with new potatoes too, but it wasn't the same. Lovely smoky, nutty, complex caramelized flavours nicely balanced with the bitters. Well worth the after effects : )
mum taught me both of these:
1. another pb killer sammich: peanut butter and kaya (coconut egg jam)!
2. durian on white rice sprinkled with salt!!
these are weird even in most of southeast asia i think. the trick probably lies in the almost umami quality of sweet+salty combination.
i also happen to love the Hong Kong daily beverage 'yuenyeung', coffee plus tea with evaporated milk, when the balance is done just right.
and the most delicate crepe i had, in italy, with lardo colonnata+honey+walnut
plus, you get to play "make a wish" with the wishbone.
something mild, delicate, teasing on the tongue and comforting at the same time. italian asiago cheese on soft bread and butter, drizzled with honey. slurpable chawanmushi, with oyster inside for a bonus!! warm tau huay, or sweet silken soya beancurd floating in a sweet clear soup of sugar syrup...
economyrice: but back to essence of chicken -- i do reckon it's the most approachable of the lot. some of the other "high octane" stuff i've been fed over the years has been pretty vile!
economyrice: I haven't had bird's nest in years, but I suspect it's the love my mom puts into waking up early and double boiling the stuff for hours that makes me feel good ;)

I don't know exact wording, but I always get wealth or money ones. Sadly they never come true, lol
man, I'm hungry just reading all these delicious suggestions! But i think I currently best like turkey, provolone and mushrooms!
I love any kind of panini - especially the meats with cheeses...thanks!
Here's mine................ " Soon you will be siting on top of the world."
Haven't made it there yet, but I am forever hopeful!
The most memorable fortune I recieved was........."Alas, this is not a very fortunate fortune cookie." I had a flat tire waiting for me when I left the restaurant.
For the absolute best Chinese cuisine on the south shore.........south of Boston that is........try the Beijing House in Norwell. The food, atmosphere and cleanliness is superb.
