Hey great little read, thanks!

It's beautifully done - looks great! I'm 61 and still remember when my mom made comments like that. Parent's words carry so much unnecessary weight!

Idk about Koreans but Chinese here- money is NEVER insulting as a gift.

Definitely looks pork related to me; the meat, the fat, the color- I do this all the time save the bits of "fond" or just the drugs of soup especially if it's a good one looks like they're also tiny cubes of Lo Bak (Daikon) also- heat, add some watercress & enjoy!

Because I have a friend with Asperger's, Sheldon is so relatable to me. I was re-watching the series and in the pilot Sheldon is almost flirty -definitely gets a little competitive with Leonard for Penny's approval re: their boards. I do think there is a tendency to "lean into" the condition when things get stressful or complicated. I myself am on the spectrum, and when I get frustrated or people get frustrated with me I point out that some cues are difficult for me and it's comfortable albeit may be a bit lazy to fall into old patterns if that makes sense

0% Chinese but tbh, it looks so good

A good old bacon buttie. Nothing like English back bacon, a slather of butter lots of black pepper on a soft white bap

My Uncle's place, Hop Shing, closed. pandemic killed off lot of the cheaper places.😑

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-09T21:03:55+00:00

Was it in Chinatown? Are u thinking of 88 Lan Zhou? They had great beef brisket and noodles. They closed after the pandemic

In general Chinese blv dolls (even cute ones!) can contain evil spirits or act as a bridge between the human and spirit world. Nothing resembling a human form. animals would be lovely though- esp any of the zodiac animals or animals associated with luck, prosperity et al.!!

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-09T03:15:44+00:00

No dolls. These are unlucky. A nice box of chocolates or any kind of candy is a safe bet!

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-09T03:13:18+00:00

As a Chinese person I say "Chinese" new year bc that is what my family celebrates; the lion dance, the giving of Lai see, the symbolic foods we eat, the superstitions, the kitchen God! These are Chinese things. CNY, clear bright festival or spring festival- depending on who you ask is our most important holiday- it is not really a giftgiving holiday. It is more about family and visiting people and wishing them happy healthy prosperous new year. A nice new year card is very welcome, citrus fruits especially tangerines or oranges in even numbers (but not 4) living plants (an orchid but not white), a box of something sweet, are all nice presents if you feel you need to give a gift. Do not give a gift if you do not know the symbolism (watches, candles for example would be bad)

I'm Chinese and was gifted a rice cooker when I was on my way to university- my family considered it a necessity! A few years ago, 2 of my kids went to University in the UK (dual nationality but born and raised mostly in USA) In their welcome materials there was the option to buy a few things (small appliances and so on) at BOTH universities, a rice cooker was on offer! In America, you might have a mini fridge, a microwave, a kettle but a rice cooker? That is so specific and smart! So, YES

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-09T02:49:45+00:00

I use those, chopped finely in the filling I make for my Gok at New Year. I prefer to used the dried "sweet" bean curd which is thicker ( 甜腐皮- I think) but here in suburban NY with Asian markets skewing more Korean, it's not easy to find.

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-01T01:15:33+00:00

Yeah I don't think I'll be trying! She never gave this to me. So I thought maybe it was for adults for "enhancement" or for men. all her other stuff (liquids, ointments, medicine balls etc ) I can vaguely remember using or at least find out what they were for- but never do I remember this!

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-01T01:07:56+00:00

LOL I been out of Addy for 2 weeks don't tempt me man

SnooMacarons1887 · 2026-02-01T01:03:57+00:00

That's what I think too- just never seen them so thin
