The Dao of Soup

Lotus Root Soup 莲藕汤 by wiffygal
Lotus Root Soup 莲藕汤, swiped from wiffygal on Flickr.
I'm Cantonese. I love soup. I love piping hot soup (don't get how some people like to drink cold soup). Give me lots and lots of soup. Slow-boiled or quick boiled, I love 'em all. I even would even down the soup ingredients, no matter how tasteless some people say they are. Here are some of my personal observations for soup. What's your favourite soup and do you have any special requirements?

I am not a Cantonese but I LOVE SOUP!!! Did you type the interesting chart yourself? I eat hot and spicy food all the time. I guess my mum breastfed me with milk laced with Tom Yam.

@Twi: @ThaiBoy:
I forgot about this yummy trademark soup from Thailand (I like the clear type, without santan). It's not in the list because my mum does not make it. Yes, I drew it up just for fun.

@JBoy:
We have the same taste in soup. Men I'm not sure :P

@Nicky05:
No tom yum for you then.

Coat West Star II: Sho

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame. SHO Name: sho Name：Sho（翔） Height：180cm Weight：70kg Age：21 (during Sho Only Shining Star) Birth date：Unknown (1985) There is no girlfriend: Now there are ... ... (sho is very shy yo ~) Girlfriend?：Yes Dated for：Half a year Type of girl he fancies：Petite～ Makes people have an urge to protect them, cute when running (in small steps) Wants his girlfriend to call him：Sho-kun（翔君） (I can do that!) First love：Elementary year 4, with a girl from the next class First H：Freshman Type of H he likes：Both parties desire it First “solo” experience：Elementary years Number of times a week：Doesn’t do it very o...

Kensei

Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h...

Osamu or Naoya?

Image
There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!
