So one of the major negatives of Singapore is our fricking weather, where a thunderstorm could erupt suddenly on a scorching hot day. That coupled with how everywhere's air-conditioned because frick the heat means that we alternate between hot and cold temperatures the whole day... and I guess I finally succumbed and got the sniffles or covid or something, which was coincidentally after a trip to our fake snow city. Speaking of the fake snow area, how the frick are people able to wear masks outdoors in the cold? It was such a horrible experience, and I can't believe people are actually advocating for it. 
Much like in the West, a chicken soup is our go to for comfort food for when we're feeling under the weather, so maybe we're not that different after all. Then again I remember how cordyceps are literally a parasitic fungus that grows on caterpillars as I slurp them down, I guess we might be that different after all... Hmmm yummy

Close enough to the picture I guess... 
So dramneurodivergents, what's your favourite comfort food? Any unique ones in your culture that people should know about or try?

As someone who lives somewhere with cold winters, these people are actually r-slurred. They're just looking for an excuse to praise wearing masks to show how virtuous they are.
Also fricking lmao at a whole chicken leg in the soup like that. Chicken soup should have bite-sized boneless pieces of chicken, not just a whole leg.
Anyways, it's not really cultural at all, but I actually like jello when I have a sore throat or upset stomach. It goes down super easily and even feels a bit soothing.

So mask wearing in cold conditions is really that miserable of an experience? I mean I wore ski masks to combat the winter winds and it's fine and not a good comparison. Those surgical masks outdoors just felt like prolonged suffering for nothing.
I think it's a difference in style of cooking, Asian soups generally use the whole chicken leg for the taste, savoury tastes can be extracted from the tendons to the bones
You should try it if you have a chance! It's really yummy and warm when done right, and even considered relatively "healthy" since it's not high in calories

COVID masks, yes. Good cold-weather masks include vent holes for a very good reason, to avoid becoming drenched in condensation. That also makes them useless for stopping the spread of anything, of course.
No, we do that too - it's pretty common for a homemade chicken soup to be made with the carcass of an otherwise eaten cooked chicken. We just remove that before serving. How do you even eat this? We eat our soups with spoons, but you're not gonna eat a whole chicken leg with it. Do you eat some of the soup and then pick the chicken leg up with your fingers to eat it, before going back to a spoon?
FWIW, I don't like soups too much. I've just been baking chicken thighs (bone in, skin on) and eating them with some nice bbq sauce, with a bit of rice as a side if I feel like I want more calories from the meal.

yup that's the way when no company's present or when there's no one to impress lol. if not we use our ching chong chop sticks to take apart the chicken into smaller pieces. it's just that grabbing that drumstick and eating it makes it more tasty due to the king factor LOL
The funny thing about Chinese customs is that the drumsticks are supposed to be served to the guest of honour or the most elderly in the family as respect, so if they can handle the drumstick with grace, you better not be far behind!
thanks for the explanation. i thought my mask was drenched like heck cause i was dying or had cancer or something
