Week 8 : Fortune Cookies

I bet most of the people should have heard of Fortune cookies.
But do you know that it orignates from Japan? :O






What are fortune cookies ( for those that really doesnt know)
Fortune Cookies are cookies that contains a slip of paper that contains some advice. The paper is usually at the hollow part of the cookie so u break apart to see it.


I think it is always fun to open your fortune cookie and compare it with your friends.
I cant remember what mine said the previous time i had 1, but I think it was something to do with marriage.
But i feel that the fortune cookies nowadays have been 
edited with like good quotes only
because the restaurants do not want to offend the customers.
Which to a certain extent makes the fortune cookie inaccurate
because they will only talk about good stuffs.

Although fortune cookies originates from Japan, they are more popular in Chinese restaurants and normally consumed by the Americans.
Sort of an irony right? Haha.

    Nahh, they are just plain sweet biscuits. Well if at least they come up with quotes like "Avoid relationships because they will hurt you or like Avoid contact with water because they might cause mishaps.." etc etc is better than the normal wise quotes ma hahaha. Got pros and cons for both cases.

    They taste not bad just like crackers that are sweet, really hard to describe the taste haha. Well to believe or not, it is up to you.
