Cha chaan teng - Wikipedia

You'd probably have to look specifically for a "cha chaan tang" restaurant to find it on the menu around here

I've lived in the Toronto area all my life, so I can't speak to current Hong Kong trends. But yeah we have a dish that's fruit cocktail (from a can) with shrimp and mayo. It was staple at picnics and potlucks in my youth

Sounds like a Hong Kong immigrant dish. We like mixing sweet into our savoury, and vice versa 😅

T-Rex: There are certain genres that fan fiction hits more than most! We're all familiar with taking existing characters and, oh I don't know... T-Rex: ...putting them in an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE where they all work in a COFFEE SHOP??

T-Rex: But there's also Hurt/Comfort, where you take existing characters, hurt one, and then - THEN - another character comforts them. Dromiceiomimus: Wow! Is there Hurt/No Comfort? T-Rex: Yes! T-Rex: You SICKO!!

Utahraptor: And you mention this because...? T-Rex: Because we should swap! T-Rex: Fan fiction and video games should SWITCHAROO their genres for a bit - it'd freshen BOTH up! I'd love a Saved By The Bell real-time strategy story, or play a coffee shop hurt/comfort version of Wii Sports. Let's do it! Let's better ourselves AND elevate art by swapping commonly used genres!

Narrator: LATER: T-Rex: Call of Duty got WAY more interesting when it shifted to "pining, angst, enemies to lovers, slowburn, touch starved" tags. Off panel: Honestly, I could NOT agree more. T-Rex: It is a fully objective improvement!

and when you throw in a "pretend relationship" tag for the dlc? whoa mamma

I fell in love with caldo verde there. It's a soup made from potatoes, smoked sausage, and collard greens.

Diagram of fibers being woven, with the warp (vertical fibers) and weft (horizontal fibers) annotated.

New friend said she always mixes up which thread is warp (vertical) and which is weft (horizontal), so I told her to just remember that warp goes up and down and weft goes weft to wight and if anybody else has made that joke before please don't tell me because I was SO pleased with myself 😤

illustrations of animals from the rodentia family featured are jerboa, hamster, mouse, guinea pig, rat, gerbil, squirrel, beaver, and chipmunk

Digital illustration of a black cat wrapped up in a quilted blanket with the text: my ultimate form

🍂 Behold!!! My ultimate form

An image with several smaller illustrations of my gray and black sea cow character, Umiko, against a soft blue background. She is a manatee with a face and tummy like a cow’s, and horns on her head. The various illustrations show her swimming around and enjoying sea grass, as well as her loving her tiny manatee child, who is just as round as she is. She is so rotund…

My lifeline to Western-style food while in Japan. But also disappointing because it's not anything like what I'd get back home ^^;;

That looks so good 🤤

Digital artwork of a dragon head caterpillar (Polyura schreiber) with the many dots on its horned head and chubby body rendered to resemble little stars, a few actually being tiny four-pointed stars. Above its head a partially eclipsed moon is framed between its inner horns, and large four-pointed stars rest on the center of its upper head and hang on either side of its head between its outer horns. More stylized rays and stars radiate out into the edges of the image, rich textured gold against a dark blue framing the green bug's body. The caterpillar is outlined in metallic gold and has fairly realistic face details and feet. Art by Moth Monarch.

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Mongolia looks awesome, I want her to call her hunting eagle over to peck out my liver

The world's gotten better, in so many ways.

But there's a line between Shakespeare and today, and it runs through Dickens and Chaplin and every other artist who desperately grabbed at the world and shook it, begging people to be human to each other.

Ah, I missed that page 12 had its own post. Thanks for the check

Obsessing over the current news 24/7 is not only psychologically harming you, in ways you will not notice until it is very far advanced: it is extremely likely to change your moral code until you no longer find these behaviors abhorrent.

Windows make all our buildings into human aquariums for the birds. They love to peep in and watch us work, it seems very entertaining for them.
