Longkang Jwee

Today is possibly (and probably) the last time I'll see YW before he wanders off to north (and south) America for the rest of the year. I still can't believe that somebody can enjoy Whistler-Blackcomb on the pretext of work while work for the rest of us ordinary folks means slogging away in our cubes! Anyway, to celebrate the occasion, we had steamboat, chou dou fu and drinks in the Bras Brasah area. What better way to chill out after a hard day's work? Of course, as always, the company was more important than the food!

It's funny how chou dou fu (aka smelly toufu) just smells so bad, almost like longkang jwee (drain water), but once it enters your mouth, it just tastes soooooo good!!! It's crispy, and once u take that first bite the smelly juice just flows around your tongue and you get that "high" feeling! Just close your eyes and let it get to you.... So how does this correlate with the theory that 80% of taste is smell? Sometimes the best things in life are those that appear the least desirable....

Anyways, enjoy yourself YW, and remember to bring back the Sam Adams! Bonus points if you can find the special "Winter Brew"!
