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.

《纸嫁衣》：红白交织符文缀，中式恐怖底蕴萃

Red and white bride, toss and turn, love is looking for the end without regret, for thousands of turns. A wedding dress, death or life is hard to foresee. love is life after life do not separate, being butterfly accompanying each other. Five lake and bright moon, reveal reunion and separation. love is a wisp of incense soul without severance, missing but turning gray. God bestows perfect match,and fate entanglement.love is red silk entanglement, and old dreams will return. Falling Love in the past while meeting now, love is the next life play with tears, leaving shadow only. Thousands of years like a dream, wish hidden, love is back to the past,unable to nestle together in twilight years.

Games paper wedding dress embody

The terror of Chinese style

Ghost marriage:The core of Chinese terror

Ghost marriage, as a peculiar form of marriage in Chinese folk culture, is an important source of inspiration for the story background of the game "Paper Wedding Dress". It originated in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, developed through the Wei, Jin, South-North Dynasties, flourished in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, continued to progress in the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing Dynasties, and still secretly prevails in some areas today. Ghost marriage, also known as ghost wedding, Yin marriage, fatal pairing in the underworld, etc., can be divided into two kinds of ghost marriage:between the dead and between the living and the dead.The game plot is mainly the second form.

Q： How to make a Chinese terror puzzle game based on Ghost marriage? Production Team A: We look in folk customs to polish detail and explain traditional culture with plot puzzles.

Folk custom and traditional culture in the games

When it comes to ghost marriage,paper zha and wedding dress are inevitable.

According to the usages,paper zha can be divided into at least three types:sacrificial funeral one,decorative appreciation one and entertainment one.Most of the paper zha appearing in the game is the first one,which is also known as funeral paper zha. This kind of paper zha are mostly paper people, paper horses, houses and modern paper cars, paper electrical appliances and so on.These paper zha not only show the mourning for the deceased, but also symbolize the "illusory things" and "inhuman things" in the game, so that players can constantly feel the blurred boundary between life and death in the process of solving the puzzle.

The design of the wedding dress in The game absorbed the advantages of modern Chinese Hanfu , the version of both the relaxed and comfortable Xiuhe clothing, but also the three-dimensional slim Longfeng coat. According to the personality of different characters, the decoration and accessories of the wedding dress also have their own characteristics, showing a gorgeous and valuable background color or a gentle and beautiful spot color. The wedding dress combines the traditional aesthetics with the gloomy atmosphere, highlighting the unique visual tension of the Chinese terror.

Of course, in addition to the two main elements, the games also intersperse many other excellent traditional Chinese culture and folk culture related content in the scene layout and puzzle solving process...

The surnames of many of the game's main characters, CP, correspond to well-known lovers in folk literature:

The heroine and heroine in the first film, Ning Zifu Nie Moqi, correspond to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in the eighth section of Volume 3 of strange Tales from a Chinese studio;

Liang Shaoping Zhu Xiaohong, the protagonist of the second and fifth parts, corresponds to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Shen Moqing and Wang Jiao Tong in the third part correspond to Shen Chun and Wang Jiaoniang in the novel Tale of Jiao Hong written by Song Yuan in the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Chenrui and Cui Wanying in the fourth part correspond to Zhang Junrui and Cui Yingying in Wang Shifu's drama Romance of the Western Chamber in the Yuan Dynasty;

And Liu Fengze Du Yan in the seventh part corresponds to Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang in Tang Xianzu's play The Peony Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in "Paper Marriage Clothes 7 Not betray", Du says that she appears in the form of soul, which is a reference to Du Liniang's story--that her soul leaves her body. Du Liniang awakens in the spring of colorful flowers and seeks for the perfection of life, while Du says that she wants to sacrifice Liu Fengze to make up for her destination as the golden boy and the jade girl, which is a continuation of the Peony Pavilion, but the view of love runs counter to it. Perhaps there is a hidden mystery in its name, "Yanta(Talking her)" is actually "acting her", playing Du Shiniang's joys and sorrows, singing "Peony Pavilion" into "Du Shiniang's angry treasure Chest".

Paper wedding Dress 7  May the name have a different meaning?

I just have a sudden feel."Yanta,Yanta", does not mean Du Liniang but refer to another Du Shi niang. "Yanta" also refers to "acting her", but what she acts is Du Shiniang rather than Du Liniang. From "Peony Pavilion" to "Warning Bell Words", it is really fantastic!

There is "Fengze", which shares similar sound with "crazy" in Chinese characters !!!

They are really attentive to make games! (I may be over-interpreting this, but I do have such a meaning in my heart.) Just one word to describe my feeling, excellent!

A piece of "Peony Pavilion" is explained as "Du Shiniang becomes angry and Sinks All the Treasures"

Liu Fengze and Du Yanta, a golden boy with a jade girl. His Last name is Liu and first name is Fengze, which echoes Liu Mengmei; Her surname is Du, corresponding to Niang, and she was Du Li Niang. But Liu is actually not Liu.His real first name is Li.Yan is actually not Yan because she changes the character.Because of a different word, Liu Mengmei is turned into Li Jia,and Du Liniang is changed into Du Shiniang. The "Peony Pavilion" was performed as "Du Shiniang becomes angry and Sinks All the Treasures" ah, what a fate of a good golden boy and jade girl".

The extreme danger and silence of the interweaving of red and white

The spirit endured, and the bond remained strong.  The two brides in red and white wedding clothes appeared on the poster of Paper Bride 7. The elements of the wedding in red and funeral in white were entangled and intertwined, with a strange sense of beauty. Well-designed elements enhance the recognition of the game, but also promote it becoming widely known, drawing more players to explore the domain of Chinese horror.

Red usually symbolizes happiness and joy in public vision, but when our perspective turns to Chinese horror games, a large area of red often distorts its universal symbolism and strengthens the eerie atmosphere. In addition to symbolizing beauty, red also reflects the most basic human understanding and survival experience of the world, because it comes from blood and fire. Human beings gained strength with the help of fire, continuing the hope of life under cruel living conditions. They cooked food, drove away the cold, sacrificed with blood, and concluded covenants. Red prolonged life in the way of destruction, but it is also easy to attract attention and alert people. When the red wedding dress appears in the gloomy and scary scene, the bright color forms a sharp contrast with the silent background, impacting the player's senses, as if heralding the coming danger or disaster. This atmosphere of anxiety and fear, noticing that a crisis is coming, not only enhances the tension of the game, but also magnifies the player's perception of the atmosphere of terror.

Apart from the eerie red tones, the game is also filled with an uncanny white.In Western culture, white is used to symbolize purity and holiness, while in traditional Chinese culture, if the red wedding dress symbolizes the beginning of marriage, then white, which often appears in funeral ceremonies, symbolizes the end of life. The white lanterns and pale paper people in Paper Bride are quiet and silent, suppressing the breath of "life", closely related to death and funeral, creating an empty and mysterious atmosphere and increasing the sense of suspense of the game. White can also contrast with common dark tones in horror games, which can not only enhance the visual effect of the game, but also better highlight the elements of terror. The interweaving of red and white and the encounter of weddings and funerals help the game put aside the common symbolic meaning of color, allowing players to break away from the cognition gained in reality and immerse themselves in the weird game world.

The mysterious eastern rune leads to the unknown key

Chinese horror games are always inseparable from the elements of Chinese traditional culture. The rune codes in Paper Bride, known as "ghostwrite", are actually some ancient characters or religious symbols. This font, Yunzhuan, was originally a Taoist character, referring to the smoke wrapped around incense burning, or a cloud shaped like the seal character. If players are willing to decipher, they can also connect the password into a correct sentence, such as the Yunzhuan password of the dressing box in the god's sedan chair in the game, which means something in rotation. Combined with ancient Chinese mythology and philosophy, as well as the game setting point of view, it may imply the law and order in the game world. Runes, as symbols that are difficult to interpret in the game, often represent unknown forces, suggesting potential challenges while stimulating players' desire to explore. Such mysterious forces can be positive or negative, symbolize "protection" or play the role of a "curse". The energy carried by the runes themselves and their shape and arrangement have cast an atmosphere of mystery over them. Coupled with the unknown spell effect set by the game background, players can feel more oppression and fear.

Cultural symbols always serve for the atmosphere and plot narration of the game. Like the empty temple pagoda, the village with smoke and ghost fire, and the squeaking wooden doors, these common elements not only symbolize decay and silence, but also build an audio-visual language environment full of terror. They can not only enhance the players' sense of tension and insecurity, but also serve as a carrier to promote the development of the plot. Through the interpretation of these cultural symbols, players can deeply understand the storyline of the game while enjoying the playability of the game. They can also feel the charm of Chinese horror more deeply.

The paper wedding dress series of games, with the theme of ghost marriage, takes players on a thrilling and suspenseful Chinese horror adventure. In the next episode, we will delve deeper into the unique aspects of Chinese horror to present you with a more comprehensive and in-depth Chinese horror world, giving you a different horror experience. See you in the next episode!

Additional Information:

In the second chapter, the correct answer of the cloud seal password of the dresser box in the palanquin is that from right to left to read the meaning of "six respect five elements rotation", friends who are interested in it can also go to know this "scribble" ! (actually it is the cloud seal)

Vegan Chinese Snow Fungus Soup (Tong Sui)

[wawamouse]

Fanfic ask game but I answer all the questions on my own because I can and I want to lol (and you can too 😌)

What was your first fic and could you stand to reread it today? My first fanfic was a Harry Potter fanfic I wrote in 3rd grade from the POV of James Potter going to Hogwarts (I had read books 1-6 in 2nd grade). I thought I was a genius for this because I had no idea fanfic was already a real thing.

What’s your most recent fic and how far do you think you’ve come? My most recent fic was "Riptide", answered for a kiss prompt. I've come very far! I wrote a bit of fanfic throughout high school years ago but didn't get heavy back into it until 4 years ago, during the height of the pandemic.

In your opinion, what’s your best fic? Honestly can't judge this. I have my most kudosed fic, but it definitely isn't my best. I think I would have pick one of my shorter Miguel/Chico fics, or else one of my longer rongzhi fics.

In your opinion and without looking at any numbers, what’s your most popular fic? It would have to be one of my HxH fics. I wrote a series for it in high school or college (idr). The show had seen a resurgence in popularity at the time, I think, because it was around when the remake anime was released on Netflix. I think it must be "We Who Have the Souls" that is my most kudosed fic.

Is there any fic that makes you super happy to reread and remember you wrote that? Off the top of my head: "For Nothing Tender About it" (MiguelChico), "At Rise" (M/C), "Exit Wound" (Sui Zhou/Wan Tong), and "A Dying Eye" (Ding Rong/Wang Zhi)... I've been re-reading a lot of my shorter fics lately. I really like "Alibi" lately...

Is there any fic that makes you super embarrassed to reread and remember you wrote that? Probably if I reread one of the ones I orphaned or one of the ones I wrote in my early days which only exists on a thumb drive now lol.

What’s the fic you most want to continue (unfinished or no)? "The Nineteenth Year of Chenghua". Zombie apocalypse fic. Someday….

What’s the oldest (longest since last update) fic you most want to continue (unfinished or no)? Out of Nowhere, I guess. But I don't remember anything to finish it. Next oldest is The Nineteenth Year of Chenghua.

Have you ever written for a fandom without watching/reading/playing the source material? No.

Have you ever written for a fandom without reading other fanfic for it? Yeah, The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty (I started the tag), Hamlet (wrote fanfic for a class), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. I also think I wrote Need For Speed (movie) fanfic before there were any other fics to read, but I might be wrong about that.

Have you ever written a fic for a concept you know someone else has done before? How did it impact your writing process or feelings after posting? I don't think so? Not if 'concept' means 'same plot premise'. Yeah, no, I don't think so. There are some stories where something necessarily has to be written to cross canon point A to B to get to where you want to be in the fanfic, but… no? Maybe "Collision Course"? I wrote the in the car talking concept originally as what was going to be a remix of @/merelyafigment's tumblr snippet.

Have you ever written a fic and decided never to publish it? Why? I write really trashy smut and wattpad level indulgence in my notes app as a fun activity before bed sometimes. But those are never really meant to be published, though they're there for me to steal bits and pieces from for actual fics. Actually, a good chunk of "For Nothing Tender About It" and "Countdown" and probably smaller portions of some other fics I'm forgetting came from that notes app. Sometimes I'll read back stuff and be like "hey, that's actually not that bad" and polish it up, chop off the trashier bits, and then turn it into a oneshot.

What’s the biggest change between your style when you started in fandom and today? I'm a better writer? Lol. Idk, punctuation, probably. I used to write X-men fic exclusively (the comics) so I had a horrible habit of writing out accents (think Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine, etc). I've shaken off a lot of that style, though I still like capturing some of a character's voice.

What’s the biggest change in your taste between when you started in fandom and today? I don't think I had much taste in the past… There was a point where I was very undiscerning about what I read.

Have you ever purposefully written one fandom/fic idea over another because you knew it’d be more popular? No, I don't think like that. For the longest time, I didn't engage in fandom or actually make friends in the fandom. I just posted stuff and if someone read it, nice. I was more free 😂

Have you ever stopped writing a fic/for a fandom because it wasn’t receiving enough attention? I have a fanfic for a ship I am the sole writer of that has exactly 2 kudos.

In your opinion, what’s your most overrated fic? One of my most kudosed fic (496 wtf, just checked) is a Glenn/Daryl fic for the Walking Dead. It's not particularly good. But the fandom is big, I guess, so even rarepairs thrive there.

What’s your most underrated fic? I would point to any number of my Miguel/Chico fics, except that all eyes looking for that pair at a given time have likely already read the fic, so it wouldn't really be correct to call any of them underrated. Underrated, maybe, in the sense of wOULD You LiKE tO TaLk AboUt IT PerHAPS?! MaY I wOrd VoMIT AbouT It?? HeLLo?

If you had to pick one fic/scene/chapter of your work to describe your entire portfolio to a stranger, which would you pick? What a funny question…

Well. He could feel quite senseless sometimes. Idle-minded, it had been said of him; and if not idle-minded, then fixating on idle pleasures. That was all it was.

—Surpassing Corridors

Have/Would you ever rewrite a fic? If yes, would you take the original down? No way. That's too much work. I just make changes directly into the fic lol.

If someone starts kudosing and commenting your fics in a spree and has a few works of their own, would you go look through theirs? I'll often go to their profile and see what other fics they're into or what fandoms they've written for, if they have. If they write a fic later for the pairing, I'll make sure to read their fic and comment.

Has there ever been anyone who’s made you freak out because they read your work and followed/favorited/reviewed? I have a mutual who me and a friend always refer to as "AO3 User [Full URL]" because her fanfic was amazing. Even to this day, I don't like to bother her too much 😂

What’s the nicest review you’ve ever gotten? There's a couple of people who've read my fics or have gotten friends to read my fics despite not being in the fandom, and I really treasure that. Of course the long comments are always the best :D <3 But I also really like short comments, and this one was really touching (commented on a (sort of) vampire AU I wrote): "What a great premise - totally unexpected (which after 25 years of fic, hard to find) and beautifully written."

What’s the meanest review you’ve ever gotten? Do you think the reviewer intended it? Someone flamed me on an Xmen fic I wrote years ago on ff.net, criticising the plot and my grammar. I didn't really care, though; my response upon reading it was like "Dude I am literally 12 years old" LOL.

What constructive criticism, however well-meaning, always makes you feel bad when you see it in a review? Never gotten any reviews like this, except maybe the one I mentioned above. I don't think I get enough comments to have seen the breadth of the type of negative reviews people leave.

What aspect of your writing do you most enjoy to see praised? Uhhh… When there was a nice thing in the plot or the dialogue and people say Wow or when they say they could imagine the character saying it or something… (< imagine I said that in a weird low voice like Eeyore)

If you could only ever write crossovers or single-fandom fics ever again, which would you pick? Single fandom fics. I'm really picky about crossovers and don't read them often.

if you could only ever write for a single crossover or a single fandom again, which would you pick? I'm gonna say Oz because that's my current interest right now LOL.

Does the division of your writing across fandoms line up with your reading? What’s the biggest discrepancy? I don't know what this means. No? I've written nearly 60 fics for both TSOMD and Oz for pairings that don't have that many fics to read if you subtract my contribution lol. There's some fandoms I've read an enormous amount of fic for (especially in the past) that I've never written for, too.

Do you continue to write for a fandom after you’ve moved on or do you focus solely on the new one? I'll still write for the past fandom when inspiration strikes, but I have a small brain so I forget plot stuff and can't capture the tone as well, I feel like.

Who’s the one character you’ve just never managed to get perfectly right? Can't say. A character I've never written, probably. I'm delusional in a way so I feel like all my characterisations are valid, even if on the surface, I wring my hands and go "sorry for the OOCness!" Also, once I get into the groove of writing a certain character, it comes easier. But I guess there are still moments where I freak out and think I've not been writing them properly. I still think I write Miguel as too nice or something.

Who’s the one character who shines without you even trying? Omar White…?

Is there any particular character whose scenes always wind up being longer/more frequent than you expected? Does the quality hold up? Hmm. Hm… Sister Peter Marie, maybe? Got her in some unpublished wips as well as "In the Blink of an Eye". She's useful as a therapist character lol.

Was there any fic that you wrote that really surprised you in the fandom reaction? Was it just by the numbers or did they take it an entirely different way? Nope. I don't have stats like that.

Have you ever written a ship into a fic without meaning to? No? I've added ships into wips as they've gone along and things developed. Is that the question? Then yes, I guess.

Have you ever sincerely written a ship you do not support into a fic? I wrote a fanfic for a ship that I don't really like for a fic donation drive event, if that counts. Oh wait, yeah, I've written two other ships I don't like into fics before. For the angst.

Have you ever purposefully bashed a character/ship in a fic? Only if it's in character for a character to shit on another one. I don't insert my meta author opinion like that, though. Kind of tasteless as well as pointless.

Have you ever purposefully written something you know your readers would find uncomfortable/would not enjoy? If yes, why? I don't think so? I don't assume anything about potential readers like that.

Do you consider yourself to have a readership? Yeah, in a sense. It's easier to identify the repeat readers when there's only like 5 of them, plus guests. I don't really consider all of you guys readership tho because I feel like that implies some kind of interaction between author and audience.

Do you feel like you put out enough content? 🤣🤣🤣 I probably put out TOO much content. "Readership", as they say, has dwindled. But by god, I'm still going.

If you cross-post your fics on multiple sites, do you have a favorite? Are there certain fics you would only post on certain site? I sometimes post to Tumblr (ask memes) or Dreamwidth (community prompts) but I prefer AO3, especially because for the rare comment that I do get, I can find it again easily. I don't really like posting fic directly to Tumblr because if someone comments on it the fic or post or whatever, I can't find it easily. And I have a really really bad memory 😭 I like things in one place.

How many views has your most popular fic gotten? Highest hit count is 12,026 hits on "We Who Have the Souls," which is my top kudosed fic (751).

Your least popular? My fic with the least kudos, "Prey Animal" (2), has 47 hits, but my fic with the lowest hits is tied between "Movie Time" and "Sore Spot" with 10 hits.

Do you follow/favorite/kudos/comment/review more stories than you have received? Yeah, I've been trying to leave kudos/comments on every story I've read since like two years ago? Sometimes if I really have no energy, I don't comment, but then I feel guilty. I'm only subscribed to one fic, though, and I'm not super into bookmarking.

If you had to call yourself an author of a single genre (besides fanfic) what label would you give yourself? I wanna say Action/Adventure, but the more accurate would be that broader genre, Drama.

Do you consider yourself a diverse author? Idk what this means. I'm a gay chinese dude, is that what this is asking? lol

If someone you know in real life who isn’t involved in fandoms asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first? I would give them my Hamlet or RAGAD fics bc they are the most respectable ones by virtue of proximity to Shakespeare lol.

Does anyone you know from outside of fandom know you write fanfic? Are they involved in the same fandom too? My IRL friends from high school (now internet friends :') ) and my sister. No to HS friends (not anymore, anyway). And my sister isn't in fandom.

Has anyone in your life ever read your fanfic just because you wrote it? :D Yes <3

Has writing fanfic had a significant impact on your life? Would you say it’s entirely positive? Yes and yes. I think fanfic has made me a better writer. I've made friends through fanfiction, and it's pretty much the only think in my life, besides other fandom creating, that keeps me creative and not wanting to slam my head into a wall <3

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.

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.
