They all taste similar I think all the cooks graduated from the same cookery class.I am also quite sure they use the same 'flavouring chemicals'.

Some people really need to know that money can't buy them everything, and that they are not as important as they think they are.

Well, perhaps I am timid but I have never bought any Chinese medicine. I have seen what some of those medicines did to my cousins so no, thank you.
