Fortune Cookie: Cookie with a Fortune

Cookie with a Fortune !

I have been seeing a Facebook fortune cookie since long and the funny fortunes which come out of it too. Yesterday, I cracked open a real fortune cookie, Yipee !!

And the fortune was - 'You are a fun-loving person, and you'll have a fun day ahead'. Well, no doubt that was true, especially after eating the chinese lunch from the Panda Express. It was just another Saturday in the Newport Mall and this time we tried the new chinese outlet. The food was awesome, with fried zuchini and mushroom; pepper greens, spring rolls and fried rice and of-course how can I forget - the fortune cookie.

Now, that I have had one, I can say it tastes like a crisp, thin and not a very tasty cookie. Getting down to the facts, shows that fortune cookie was first made famous by some immigrant groups in California in early 20th century, though it is categorized as Chinese these days.

And the recipe of the cookie is also not very difficult to try. Well, but theres always the easy option of buying it from the Panda express.

But fortune cookie soaps came as a big surprise to me, when I saw a video on YouTube and got to know about these cute soaps which come in the shape of fortune cookie and also have a fortune inside it (nothing can be better). Amazing stuff, no doubt.
