I am not sure how many of us have seen a fortune cookie. Guess those who have patronised Chinese restaurants in the West, would know what a fortune cookie is. Last week, I was glad to join the good company of Hou Chong, Tian Soo and CharlesC. We ate at an Asian restaurant. Food was so so; but what attracted me was a bottle of fortune cookies.
Bought one; but was finally given to me free by the owner. Broke the shell, and inside was a strip with the words "Soon, you will meet more elders …" Well, I like it.
Do you make fortune cookies? or can you make them? Say, maybe 250 pcs at a time. I was thinking that this would be great idea for restaurants. Please let me know, I would like to get in touch with you.
Chinese New Year is coming!

Hi Terence,
Such fortune cookies could easily be purchased over-the-counter or on-line (commercially) at abt $0.32 per piece.
Hi Terence,
I don’t believe that was the ‘prophecy’ you got in your fortune cookie. You made that up, didn’t you? :)
Fortune cookies are fun and make great ice- breakers, but they are difficult to find in S’pore.
Hi AnnT #1
Could you tell us the places that sell fortune coolies? Thanks.

I happened to watch this “documentary” – How it is make in starhub channel about a week ago, very interesting.
Fortune cookie is made by large machine and they produce about a million a day.
It is different from Love Letter and it need to bend at a certain angle for the little paper to be conceal inside.
If someone can make love letter , they can actually do the same way as the fortune cookie but must be individually wrap.
Then we can name it “Singapore Fortune Cookie” our version.

Hi Jassmine, Karen,
Fortune cookies is like a dessert. We look forward to it at the end of the meal. We are always eager to know a little bit more about ourselves, something in the future, whether we will meet someone nice, etc, etc. That’s a fortune cookies.
I cannot find the documentary on making a fortune cookie. But, can anyone make fortune cookie, I like to engage someone to do say 250 cookies.
