I got some Japanese Mapo Tofu mix and had it for dinner. All you add is ground meat and tofu!
From Wikipedia:
Ma stands for “mazi” (Pinyin: mázi Traditional Chinese 麻子,) which means a person disfigured by pockmarks. Po (Chinese 婆) translates as “old woman”. Hence, Ma Po is an old woman whose face was pockmarked.
Elegantly put. Wikipedia.
Most people know Christian Bale as the new Batman. Watch The Machinist and you’ll respect him in a totally different way.
Deep and Dark, kinda creepy at times and overall awesome. I say it’s a must watch unless you purposely avoid these kinds of movies.
I got myself some of the world’s thinnest Pocky. I think it should be considered a privilege, to be able to buy something like this so far away from Japan.
So thin and lightweight. I can safely say its thickest part is even thinner than the thinnest part of the original Pocky.
Taste pretty good too.
Watched a few more movies lately..
CJ7
I had to watch this even tho I know it’d be so-so. The whole movie is anchored on the performance of a little boy, and an animated dog. Some good moments. I think the highlight is the last 20mins, which made the movie better than so-so. I watched a bit in Cantonese without subtitles, and then realize that my understanding of the language, is quite bad..
Fargo
Another Coen Brothers’ movie. Same style as No Country for Old Men, just not as dark. Some scenes are funny and sad at the same time. I liked it.
The Painted Veil
It’s a semi-Chinese movie. I saw INSPECTOR WONG in there. Otherwise a slow and emotional film.
