Hi 談梓泓,
車大奅 is ce-dai-pao, right? I have always used it as "exagerate". Can you confirm this? And would you accept ngak-jan as a translation for decieve?

Thousand year egg or century egg is really really nice if dealt with properly, especially with congee. In cantonese I'm pretty sure it's called pei daan. Also with durian, I know if you grow up with it, it's normal, but for foreigners, they won't be able to stand it - therefore I can see why hotels would ban them.
I'll tell you what I hate though - fermented tofu.
I'm chinese, and even I can't stand that stuff.
Hey, I'm a foreigner and didn't grow up with durian. If you can overcome the fear of the smell and don't go for the very meaty, soft ones, it tastes nice. I prefer to eat my zuk without pei-daan, however nice you might find it. See, people's tastes are different. Just immagine how boring it would be if eveyone loved the same food.

If you are refering to fuyu fermented tofu, then perhaps you're not eating it correctly. It's not meant to be eaten whole but rather mashed into a paste and diluted into a sauce that you can pour over your sweetest vegetables.
