Tong Sui Express, 390 1st Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401

Tong Sui’s Express location just has coconut pudding and does not have drinks like the other locations do.

The organic coconut pudding is handmade with young coconuts sourced from Thailand with seasonal fruit and no sweeteners or preservatives. The puddings are served in glass jars. They had a dozen to choose from (e.g., Matcha Oreo, Earl Grey, Mango Sticky Rice, Durian, Black Sesame Walnut), with prices starting at $7.95. The ingredients are fresh and high quality.

You can order at the register by talking to the cashier or from the tablet while at the store or order online for pickup. Popular flavors might be sold out. The puddings are made at one location in San Jose and shipped to their various shops.  

Strawberry coconut pudding ($9.95): The layering of flavors makes it unique (I haven’t seen it at the SoCal coconut pudding shops). The regular coconut pudding is topped with a layer of strawberry coconut pudding, with fresh strawberry slices on top. The pudding is naturally sweet in a very pleasant way. The soft, smooth, silky texture is like a soft jello or soft tofu. It’s really good. I could taste strawberry and coconut pudding.

The glass jars seem smaller than the other coconut pudding places but I appreciate the quality and freshness of their desserts. They’re meant to be eaten the day of purchase and must be refrigerated.

Return 10 glass jars and get 1 free coconut pudding.

There is no indoor seating. It’s a small shop.

Welcome to the 'Best Character with [X] surname' polls!

This is where I take several characters from different Chinese media (mostly cnovels and cdrama) and run a poll on which one is the 'best'. What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

NB: the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often they will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

If you can't find a surname, it's because I couldn't find enough candidates (at least 3 from 3 distinct medias) to compete. Feel free to submit candidates!

I will be posting several polls at a time, so do come back and check this masterpost to remember which polls are ongoing, who the winners are, and who's coming up next!

Han Yuan from Liu Yao

“Unlike us that had a vagrant life, domesticated kids are shy; I have to look after him in future.” - Han Yuan about Cheng Qian

Submission: Cringefail loser(most affectionate) dragon boi. Gone edgy but his family loves him anyway.

The “idiot” from the description - “A cultivation story about how a declining sect is restored by a narcissist, troublemaker, meanie, idiot, and wimpy kid.”

“our fav -1 braincell kiddo”

Xi Ping from Tai Sui

Submission:

He is literally everything to me. Pure chaos condensed into a single person. Everyone loves him, everyone hates him. He does his best, he doesn't try at all, he beats up monsters with a qin, he brought about the destruction of the entire cultivation world…

Han Muchun from Liu Yao

"Only I, your master, would not detest you, my dirty girl. If it were your first senior brother here, he would have stewed you." - Han Muchun to Shuikeng, Liu Yao: The Revitalization of Fuyao Sect, Chapter 29

[No propaganda submitted]

Took some disciples for his declining sect and unexpectedly became a father

Quelques trucs bien. Mai 2024

Ces “Quelques trucs bien” s’inspirent directement des “3 trucs bien” de Fabienne Yvert, publié au Tripode. 

Pas 3 par jour pour ma part, mais une volonté régulière de gratitude et d’optimisme. 

Recevoir des compliments sur notre travail d’équipe et l’accueil dans le service 

Fêter les mamans sur trois générations. Échanger des plantes fleuries à entretenir comme l’amour 

Être présente pour valoriser l’établissement 

Recevoir un message de réconfort et de soutien d’une collègue suite à une crise 

Préparer le premier barbecue de la saison dans le jardin. Inviter les amis 

Jardiner en famille et planter dans le potager 

Bricoler en famille et améliorer la pergola d’une toile d’ombrage

Organiser l’anniversaire de mon fils : 24 ans déjà ! 

Aller aux bébés nageurs avec ma fille et mon petit Mateo. Être éclaboussés de bonheur 

Superviser le sauvetage d’un oisillon mésange, tout juste sorti du nid et déjà guetté par la minette. Laisser du temps aux petites ailes fatiguées

Recueillir la confidence d’une collègue. Me sentir honorée de sa confiance 

Surligner ma lecture au stabilo rose. Prendre des notes « En cas d’amour »

Mettre short et tongs pour la première fois cette année. Enfin ! 

Passer une vraie journée détente : repas en terrasse, spa et massage. Exceptionnel et délicieux ! Et cadeau de mes enfants ! 

Passer une journée en montagne avec ma fille et sa famille. Passer d’une saison à l’autre en quelques heures. Surmonter le mal d’altitude pour admirer le parc des animaux sauvages : bisons, cerfs, chevaux et sangliers, et le reste de la faune dans cet espace protégé

Passer une journée en Italie avec ma sœur et ma fille. Faire le plein de soleil et de rire 

Écouter ma nièce lire sa production d’atelier d’écriture détournant les contes classiques. Me souvenir de mes propres textes détournés. Conclure par « je me suis bien amusée » et l’encourager à continuer 

Boire un verre de vin blanc en regardant le coucher de soleil du lundi de la reprise, comme pour prolonger le temps de vacances

Répondre positivement à une invitation à déjeuner. Prévoir d’apporter une bouteille de vin blanc 

Planter et rempoter sur la terrasse avec mon fils. Arroser en attendant la pluie (pour une fois) qui favorisera l’enracinement

Accueillir un nid de mésanges sous l’évacuation de ma terrasse. Les savoir là du regard sur leurs allers et venues, et de l’écoute de leurs pépiements 

Passer du temps avec mon petit Mateo. M’émerveiller et m’émouvoir de son développement. L’encourager des deux mains  

Aller à la jardinerie pour fleurir ma terrasse de rose et de bleu 

Passer une journée pluvieuse sous la couette. Attendre le retour du soleil

Tong Sui Desserts & Drinks, 2400 Broadway , Unit 110, Redwood City, CA 94063

Tong Sui is the Bay Area’s coconut pudding chain, founded in 2020 and now with four shops. The coconut pudding is handmade with young coconuts sourced from Thailand with seasonal fruit and no sweeteners or preservatives. And it’s organic. Some of the puddings contain dairy. The puddings are served in glass jars. They also have drinks, some of them made with coconut milk.

You can order at the register by talking to the cashier or from the tablet while at the store or order online for pickup. Popular flavors might be sold out. The puddings are made at one location in San Jose and shipped to their various shops. They have some interesting flavors that I haven’t seen at Southern California coconut pudding places, including persimmon mochi and roasted yam. The signature coconut pudding is $!0.95 and dairy-free. 

Earl grey coconut pudding ($9.95): Interesting layered dessert. The top layer is a dairy-based Earl grey milk pudding adorned with flowers and the bottom their plain coconut pudding. Both layers were smooth and tender, like soft tofu. Both weren’t very sweet. Really liked both puddings and they went well together. I could really taste the floral tea notes. The glass jars seem smaller than the other coconut pudding places but I appreciate the quality and freshness of their desserts. They’re meant to be eaten the day of purchase and must be refrigerated. The layered puddings feel extra fancy.

Return 10 glass jars and get 1 free coconut pudding.

[cargopantsprentiss]

I love the fact that our speech patterns and behaviours are formed by the people who we’ve known and loved over the course of our lives. I love that sometimes I’ll make a joke and my wife will roll her eyes and say “my dad used to say that” and I’ll laugh because so did mine, even though they grew up in different countries. I love that she calls tongs “badazzas” because that’s what her African mother calls them because she forgets the word. I love that I still sometimes quote things my childhood best friend said, or use a phrase that’s gone out of “internet talk” but my friend used to use it on livejournal in the 00s and I never grew out of it. I use the same fanfiction tag on here as I did when I wrote my first one, 20 years ago.

We collect phrasing from friends all over the world, and mimic their wording without realising it. “Same hat!” I say when my wife and I accidentally say the same thing in the group chat, and she sends a hat emoji at the same time. I remember explaining that phrase to her after my American friend used it. Now it’s a part of her. In France, they say “je suis mort!” the same way we say “I’m dead” when something is funny, and my best friend lives in France now, so now that’s how we all say it. They’ve adopted language from their new friends - friends who are Dutch and Irish and French and British but from a different generation - and the words have been sent across like a care package, unwrapped and pressed into the pages of my own vocabulary. “You sound just like M!” they’ll say, and we’ll laugh because we don’t know who that is. “No, we sound like you, and you sound like M.” And so on and so forth, until nobody remembers where they got a phrase from, it just exists.

I love that.

Lantern Rite 2024 [Cultural Observations]

Nothing overtly spoilery but tagging just to be safe.

Speech distinction between Adepti and Mortals: - Formal speech patterns very similar to Wuxia novels that Xingqiu reads, rather fond/quick to compare things to historical events or past interactions - Subtle separation in terms of referring to themselves ( commonly done in depictions of deities): 本仙 ( loosely translated as 'One')，仙师/上仙 (respectful term for upper ranking deities) > remember Xiao's reaction when Zhongli jokingly said he should be calling him that during the last lantern rite?

Traditional Chinese cultural beliefs and practises that are done irl:

-Referring to older folks as "Aunty" and "Uncle" despite not being blood-related as a form of respect (very large emphasis on remembering each 'role' someone has in the family - generally if your family is super traditional, you'd only call someone by their names if they are younger than you) - Enjoying reunion dinners during Lunar New Year Eve/ viewing the lunar new year as an occasion for celebrations together with family -Releasing kites in the form of sending well wishes to the skies, sending off past regrets/starting afresh - Tong sui (Cantonese pronunciation), 糖水 (chinese), refers to desserts that are sweet soup or custard. Different regions have different specialties. Some of which are: sesame paste, sweet potato soup, mung bean soup, red bean/green bean soup etc

- Dimsum (Cantonese pronunciation), 点心 (chinese) is often eaten either for breakfast or brunch. Another popular breakfast would be congee with fried dough and century egg.

-舞龙舞狮 performances are considered a very popular thing and are often seen in grand festivals/celebrations as well as the opening of a shop as it is said to bring in auspicious luck. In fact, it has led to the formation of performance troupes as an official career. There are also pretty big international competitions formed for lion dancing too. -Tea eggs, moon cakes, Tau Sa Piah and all are tasty snacks and if you don't like them...how dare you break my heart/J -WINTER MELON CAKES ARE SO GOOD. But instead of a conventional cake, they're more of a pastry/flaky like texture with filling on the inside. They're also called 老婆饼 (wife pastry) to my amusement. Naturally, there's also a 老公饼 (husband pastry) counterpart too.
