I don't know if you know what is fortune cookie. But for most Canadian, it's one of the things attached to Chinese food.



It's a small little sweet cookie comes with your bill after supper, and there is a little words of "wisdom" in the cookie.

So, you asked: "Why this little cookie called furtune cookie? Can it really fortune telling?"

Yes, it can. And it's like this:

(So, we were talking about some girl and such)

Me: "(她) 係你就係你,唔係就唔係" (She is my if destiny allowed)
Heng: "......"
Then I crack open the cookie and see:

Now you know.

And yes, there is no such thing called fortune cookie in Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.....
