ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Niroo & Kapil got eliminated. They were beginning to get on my nerves too. Now of only Geoff & Tisha gets eliminated next :D
ReplyDeleteThey're really eliminating them one by one this time round aren't they?
Lxndreasb ~ Yeah, I can't imagine eating stinky tofu. Hats off to Ida though, she did well :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a breeze for Henry though, he ate stinky tofu like it was his regular meal.
Carol ~ Oh! Ada repeats at midnight ka... next time if I ter'miss' (which I doubt), I don't have to wait for the next day's repeats :D
ReplyDeleteNick ~ I kinda like them, they're pretty funny :) But that trouble with the car was silly la, they should have asked someone for help instead of complaining and wailing like that.
ReplyDeleteWell, all those eliminated deserved to be eliminated, so it's fair :D
Nessa and her amazing race lol! :)
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Can't help it, I just love this show! :D
ReplyDeleteEh, we also have our very own amazing race at Emila's ya... hehe
Nessa, when i was in Taipei, my taiwanese friend brought me to the night market and showed me the tofu..she likes it lucky she doesn't offer me to eat..hahaha
ReplyDeleteDeana ~ Wah, so nice you've been to Taiwan suda :) So, was the stinky tofu reali stinky??
ReplyDeleteI go to Taiwan most summers and a few winters too because I have relatives there. As a result, I can stomach most Taiwanese food. Stinky Tofu is no problem for me. It's actually one of my mom's favorite Taiwanese night market dishes. That's why I found it so incredible that no one could stomach the tofu. The thing is, the tofu smells awful, not unlike sewage when the tofu's at it's stinkiest, but it tastes good. The soup version is a bit more pungent than the fried version. Maybe they should've held their noses while eating it.
ReplyDeleteMilena ~ Hi Milena! Welcome to Mumblings :)
ReplyDeleteI guess one needs to acquire the taste ya. Just like the Durian fruit, most people is put off by its pungent aroma, but some find it very sweet smelling.
Thanks for dropping by :)
