    Not to sound like a sua ku, but where the hell do you guys get fortune cookies? I just suddenly realised that I have never eaten a fortune cookie in my life, ever.

    I’ve never actually seen or eaten one. It just sounded better than ‘a little bird told me’..

    Sorry I know this seems a little late. I refer to your previous entry about getting a pap smear. Suffering from stage 3c cancer now, I urge all your readers to get tests regularly, including blood tests for CA125 level. I had a pap smear done but it didn’t indicate the cancer until my blood test.

    donaq - Visit all the chinkychonky chinese restaurants you can find and hope they give you one after your meal!

    I once tried to make fortune cookies but they were too hot to fold when malleable and started breaking once they’d cooled down, so I ended up with a whole tupperware of discs that tasted like fortune cookies. :|

    i’ve only heard abt fortune cookies in western movies, never actually seen them, haha. to think the westerners keep portraying fortune cookies as part of the chinese culture.

    That’s true - I’ve had a much higher rate of receiving fortune cookies in chinese restaurants outside of countries with a high population of chinese residents.

    Haha, thanks for all the information about fortune cookie sources. I’ll try to get my paws on a few, just to see what they taste like. :)

    It’s also interesting to see every single chinese restaurant in US serves fortune cookies! I never knew fortune cookies went so popular until I came to US.
