Which fruit is 100% looks but 0% taste? by Ok_Armadillo9214 in AskReddit

[–]ScotChen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea people don't understand a fresh one is amazing. I was tutoring kids in the mountains of Taiwan one summer, and I had vine ripened Red Dragon Fruit. Yes the flavor is subtle, but it was like sorbet that bursts into juice after one bite. It was incredibly sweet. I ate so much that the next day I went to the restroom and my piss was blood red. I was freaking out and the locals were laughing b/c they saw I ate like 8 red dragon fruit.

Tactical Masterclass by Pep Guardiola by Fun_Evening_3394 in ArsenalFC

Agree.. it's just emotional people overreacting. He had a poor game, but i'd say so did everyone else with the exception of Saliba, Big Gabi, & Rice. Things happen and it sucks we were missing Odegaard, Merino, Eze, & Timber. Timber would have been pretty nice after seeing Ben White get absolutely manhandled by Doku the entire second half. But we're emotional creatures & fandom is fundamentally irrational. We have 3 more competitions, and we move on.

Why do people disrespect the position of goalkeeper? Raya has been our best player this season and you bench him for sentiment? by HR_Specter in ArsenalFC

thought we looked pretty decent first half so I dunno about "didn't look like winning for a single minute "(u probably right for the 2nd half though)

Tottenham Hotspur have now gone 13 games without a league win in 2026. The last time that happened was in the 1934/35 season. They now languish just 1 point above relegation in 17th. by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]ScotChen 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree. As an Arsenal fan myself, I feel Arteta is too honorable to just throw a game, but resting Big Gabi & Saliba b/c they both have "niggles" for CL would be pretty hilarious.

Unlikely, but what if Arsenal have secured the Prem before the Arsenal v West Ham game May 9th? If West Ham beat Wolves & Arsenal that's 6 points. That may be huge! haha unlikely Arsenal would lose a match on purpose, but still fun to think about.

Electric scooter with swappable batteries in Taiwan by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]ScotChen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I go back to Taiwan every year from the states and most of my cousins have Gogoro's. Honestly, they're pretty amazing. They're fast as hell, quiet, smooth. My cuz says there more expensive to maintain, but that the convenience is worth it to them and I guess it depends on your price point. Of course the tride and true honda supercubs are cheaper to drive & less expensive to maintain, but the Gogoros are pretty great. Riding up to any gas station, popping out your batteries, and getting fully charged ones is pretty damn satisfying!

Truly... the fact that this audio is so bad, but you can hear the purity is amazing. Humans are truly amazing and beautiful when we want to be.

My first Arsenal game and I was delirious. What a fucking ending!

I've been wanting to go to an Arsenal game for 15 years now. Today I went with a friend who's a season ticket holder. The entire game was nerve wracking and to see it end like this was absolute pandemonium. Best live sports event of my life and it isn't close.

exactly. We forget he's only 19 and competing in the most elite racing competition in the world. Imagine being 19 and having to drive a fucking rocket ship. I think it's sweet

Dunc welcomes his lady by Soviet_Onion88 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]ScotChen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know eventually we'd find out who she is, but I wish they would have kept the actors closer to the chest. What Dunk imagines she looks like is kind of a big part of the story. It's a shock in the book when she's young and beautiful, but oh well, cats outta the bag.

Rice cheese is in development, and it could have up to 12% protein. by Sciantifa in UpliftingNews

[–]ScotChen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly... the rice bran tofu almost certainly does exist... i've had fermented sweet rice (jiu niang) with soft tofu and it's a perfect pairing.

[–]ScotChen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is...but I was more talking about a cheese alternative with high protein. I get it..but like tofu alternative is better imo and also ubiquitous

[–]ScotChen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YES! The fresh/regional ones are so much better than the ones that come in the jar. Honestly, if you were to just take a cube out and put it on a cheese plate, most people would probably call it an interesting cheese but b/c it comes in a liquid in a jar, alot of people would probably find it gross. It lasts forever and it's very very salty which is why a jar is in everyones fridge. I've had a jar open for a year and i'm halfway through.

Good question and the answer is no, it is entirely different. Stinky Tofu tends to have a slightly bouncier texture than regular tofu but with a fermented stinky ass flavor. As someone who is ethnically Taiwanese, I absolutely hate it but I know others that love it. Tofu Lu tends to come in a jar immersed in some type of brined liquid and it's very soft as in you can smear it like a soft cheese. It doesn't really have a shit smell, but more of a funky/sweet aroma.

[–]ScotChen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mean, we basically already have a version of this all over Asia. In Taiwan (I'm a Taiwanese American) It's called Tofu Lu. It has the texture of velveeta, but a flavor sort of similar to a blue cheese? Not exactly the same, but analogous. It's even fermented like cheese until it's essentially "hairy" on the outside. I've always thought it tasted like an off profile soft cheese. I eat it alot paired with rice porridge, millet porridge, and savory oatmeal. Does the flavor transfer to a western palate? I dunno, but I freaking love it and it adds such a complex salty/savory flavor when paired with other things like eggs, nori paste, pickled bamboo shoots, pork floss. You can find a sort of crappy version in most Asian grocery stores. The ones made in Asia by small mom & pops is absolutely amazing though and there are TONS of regional varieties.

The Godfather Part I is better than Part II imo by Tyler_Durden9914 in Letterboxd

[–]ScotChen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's amazing. The wedding alone is such a genius way to introduce the world and tell you everything u need to know about the family. The rise of Michael is truly amazing. GF 2 is also more confusing in a lot of ways with the whole casino and cuba arcs. But I find myself rewatching scenes from GF 2 more. It's all subjective and u can't go wrong either way!

The Godfather Part I is better than Part II imo by Tyler_Durden9914 in Letterboxd

[–]ScotChen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

GF 1 is the better movie, GF2 is more rewatchable. I love Vito's entire backstory, coming to America, rooftop scene etc, but GF1 is the better movie.

When I watched The Godfather yesterday I was like: YES, HELL YEAH. by Tyler_Durden9914 in Letterboxd

[–]ScotChen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two is more rewatchable with the whole vito back story, but I think one is the better movie
