You haven’t had bubble tea?!?!?!
Oops I should fix that. I have π This is an old meme!
Lots of them sounds like Malaysian dishes to me
I’m feeling somewhat embarrassed coz I’m Chinese, but have eaten less from the list of 100 than you have! π
The one thing I refuse to touch is stinky toufu. The smell just gets to me… grah.
You’re right, lomo saltado is Peruvian. My husband is Peruvian so we eat this quite often…it’s like pepper steak but with fried potatoes (or french fries) in it…it’s delicious, but DEFINITELY not Chinese! π
Sophia: No kidding! I’ll have to try it. The duck does look scary, but it looks edible to me. Just an odd colour.
Hong Kong cafes huh? I’ll have to try it out when I get there.
Suzie: I just refuse to touch chicken feet. I just.. can’t. π
I love almond milk!! And most of the other things on your list too. π Did you have egg tarts on there? Man, I would love one right now… and a taro ball… mmmm.
fried milk?? that’s a tad weird for me. i didn’t actually get around to eating chicken feet until a year ago. my boyfriend loved it before he met me and he’s the one who got me (won’t say into it because i’m not, it’s got a nice flavour) eating- and he’s caucasion! now i’ll have a bite now and then.
i think yuan yang is the drink
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuanyang_(drink)
the duck looks kinda scary to eat. is it edible???
Macaroni in soup with Spam
sounds kinda from Hong Kong to me, it is what we find in Hong Kong cafes. but i’m not from Hong Kong so it may be a myth
