If it's salty then it's soup to me, even if it's cold and tastes weird. [:P]

xuvrette 09-11-2013 02:10 PM

heh... how about 酸梅汤? It is not salty... is it?

Iro 09-11-2013 02:16 PM

That sounds a lot more like juice than soup to me, to be honest. o.o
I must look into this cold soup thing.

Antagonist 09-11-2013 02:23 PM

酸梅湯 is sort of a combination between sweet and salty...not really one of my favorite drinks. @[email protected];;

xuvrette 09-11-2013 02:29 PM

...hmm... how about... 汤圆?
That is definitely sweet!

Antagonist 09-11-2013 02:38 PM

There're actually salty 湯圓s too~ [XD] But yeah, most of them are sweet it seems...I'm quite fond of them despite the high calories they have. [drool]

xuvrette 09-11-2013 04:17 PM

There are salty ones? O__O
D: you sure it is not because they mistaken salt as sugar?

Antagonist 09-12-2013 12:21 AM

lol! Just Google '鹹湯圓' and you'll see~ [XD]
Some even have meat fillings and all. [lol]

xuvrette 09-12-2013 04:51 AM

hmm... there is another thing added to your sig?

Nephila 09-12-2013 06:23 AM

IT's a really cute little peach!

Ling 09-12-2013 06:41 AM

I like 汤圆s....both sweet and savoury. must admit I've had the sweet ones more often though...peanut filling.

Nephila 09-12-2013 06:42 AM

I don't know those are but the sound interesting.

xuvrette 09-12-2013 07:09 AM

I wonder what are their names in English.
Direct translation. Soup Round. XD

Ling 09-12-2013 08:18 AM

haha...google translate calls them dumplings...but there are ones that don't even have fillings...and are usually smaller...I know they're made with sticky rice flour...so sticky rice balls?

xuvrette 09-12-2013 11:09 AM

... dumplings? Nah... dumplings are far more salty and delicious.
Too small to call dumplings in my opinion.

Ling 09-12-2013 11:21 AM

Dumplings is a bad translation in my opinion too...though 汤圆 are tasty too.

xuvrette 09-12-2013 12:45 PM

I never recall having meat soup round.
Always those that are dang sweet. -__-;;
and I have them chill before drinking it. *chuckles*

Antagonist 09-12-2013 12:51 PM

I like the peanut kind. [drool] Sesame's pretty good too.

And I have no idea who added the peach. [XD]

Nephila 09-12-2013 12:53 PM

I want to try this whatever it is your talking about.

Antagonist 09-12-2013 12:54 PM

They taste awesome. [drool]

What's in them in the picture? [:O]

Nephila 09-12-2013 01:06 PM

Are they like a type of mochi? I like that stuff.

xuvrette 09-12-2013 01:24 PM

Now that you mention it... they do look a lot like Mochi.
*shakes head* Poor Chinese culture, not as popular as Japanese. XD

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 09-12-2013 01:30 PM

Whaaat. There are way more Chinese restaurants in the States than Japanese, I think.
Now, the authenticity of the food is a whole different story. [lol]

Ling 09-12-2013 01:42 PM

They are textually similar to mochi, also sticky, but those sweet ones, black sesame and peanut filling are depicted in those pics, usually served hot in a sweet coconut milk based soup...apparently some people have died from burning of the throat from eating ones that have fillings that are too hot.
