Ian_Lee Posted January 14, 2005 at 10:33 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 at 10:33 PM Do any posters like Bitter Melon? In contrary to its appearance and taste, Bitter Melon is very mutritous and very good to your health. It is a great source for Vitamins A and C, iron, phosphorus and is used in the treatment of diabetes to lower blood sugar levels. But I have to admit that when I was younger, I shunned Bitter Melon. When I grow older, I gradually acquire the taste of Bitter Melon. (I guess it is just like how you appreciate girls that you gradually switch your point of focus from appearance to inner beauty.) And now I tell my wife to make the dish as bitter as possible (There are ways to lower its bitterness). Whenever I dine at Chinese restaurant, "Stirred fried sliced beef with Bitter Melon" is my first order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo-Ann Posted January 15, 2005 at 09:04 PM Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 at 09:04 PM Sliced rings, stuffed with shrimp --- pan/fried and laced with a black bean sauce. Not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcopolo79 Posted January 17, 2005 at 09:55 AM Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 at 09:55 AM 苦瓜炒雞蛋 is the only way I can stand to eat the damn thing, but I have to once again stress that 苦瓜啤酒 is hands down one of the top three kinds of beers that I've ever tasted in my entire life, if I could import one thing from China, it'd be that.
