Not CNY specific. Costco has fresh durian right now (never frozen) for something crazy like $135. Coworker bought one and we tried it. Ignoring the smell, it does not taste good. My white bread palate can’t handle that custard like texture lol

Yah it's some kind of genetic thing... I cannot stand cilantro, the link is bang on, tastes exactly like soap to me... I really hate how Chipotle has no rice option that doesn't have cilantro in it.

I haaaaaaaaated cilantro growing up but as I got older I'm like eh not bad
An ex of mine hated it more than I did and would pick it out of dishes we got that had surprise cilantro in it or demand a new dish without it, she loved Pho too so there were many instances of having to deal with cilantro tantrums
The cilantro thing is actually a genetic thing. I’m not sure if it’s on 23andme, but if you release your genetic profile to Prometheus or whatever that 3rd party gene mapping service is, the cilantro thing is actually on there based on your genetics

Damn no respect for hot pot.. we have it like every other weekend in the winter lol
I agree it's "nothing special" but it's still damn tasty! Fatty beef medium rare dipped in garlicy super umami seasoning, all different types of meatballs, mushrooms, fried fish skin, and cold beer is super good Oh and if you can get fresh goose intestine that's legit my favourite food ever
Just cooking ur overpriced meat in soup, ur not missing anything at all
Do it at home and it doesn’t have to be overpriced!

You’re fortunate to be in HK and be surrounded by all types of amazing food…

Happy Lunar New Year!! Big ups to a Feb 1st new year so I can claim the Year of the Dragon even though I'm a January baby
Since this is a cilantro thread now....................I had no idea it even existed until one dinner with my new gf(now wife) and my parents back in like 2004. My gf curses there being cilantro in her dish and before I even can ask wtf is cilantro my dad pipes up and says the same thing! I'm now mind blown discovering its existence for the first time and the fact my gf and dad both hate it and yet I never heard shit from my dad ever before about it. We still laugh about it. I have since turned to disliking it very much. I always have it removed from my Pho and other dishes and would pick it out if I forget to ask when ordering. It's not that soapy flavor that's so commonly associated with it, but more that it overpowers other flavors and ruins dishes. #fuckcilantro
I fucking love cilantro! speaking of hot pot, stick a whole handful of chopped cilantro into the sauce, with the garlic and sa cha sauce and sesame paste! Throw in some green onions too and turn it into a paste that sticks to the beef when you dip it, with garlic and cilantro all over it

i don't even know where to find goose intestine here...
even the zhue sang cheurng (pig small intestine) is getting hard to find, probably only at specialty shops. I haven't looked anywhere outside of T&T
I did try duck brain at the hotpot place in Lansdowne, good thing the serving is small. It's not bad, but really really rich. Definitely acquired taste.

Goose intestine you might not be able to find the raw ingredient, but if you want to try prepared, maybe a chiuchow joint would be your best bet if the roast meat places don't carry it. As long as it's fresh it will be fatty and crunchy, it's amazing
I tried pork brain before, not very good at all. Don't see the point

Cilantro... WTF. This is like when I found out people don't fold their toilet paper when they wipe their ass. My buddy legit just takes toilet paper, scrunches it up and wipes.
Hot pot - it's definitely over-rated, only because it's so damn expensive, though it's really comforting if you have it at home with your family, it's probably just an asian thing if you grew up with it. Though, I do like boiling point when we go, pricey, but it's a nice treat.
CNY - This year my son got quite a bit of money. We only saw my parents, my inlaws, and my grandma and he ended up with ~$700 in lucky money. They usually don't give that much and my grandma usually only gives like $20, but this year she gave out $100. His RESP is going to be yuuuge by the time he's 18.
