are you my long lost sister?? LOL. I hated bitter melon when I was a lil kiddo.. still can't bare the taste.bittermelon soup/broth when I was four - I'm actually pretty sure that if I ate bittermelon now I wouldn't mind it, but that experience just left a bad imprint in my memories so I won't eat it LOL
I LOVE BITTER GOURD!! But I think that's my Cambodian side talking.
I find any dish with coriander in it really gross because I'm one of those people who think it tastes soapy :/
I can't handle the bitternesss!! lol
omg the only thing good with coriander is putting it in vietnamese sandiwches/banh mi.
