ERIC TSANG: CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN BACON
You thought Hong Kong actor, Eric Tsang (INFERNAL AFFAIRS), was just a mild mannered little dumpling whose eyes got all crinkly when he grins? No, Eric Tsang is CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN BACON. When his management company took on new singer, Gia Lin, they took on too much. She isn't just crooning the hits, she's been seen alone (at night) with singer Justin. Slut! The paparazzi has them cold: 1) they both wore the same kind of t-shirt; 2) Justin wears a cap; 3) they found a used condom in Justin's trashcan. Busted!
Tsang was reportedly upset about Justin and allegedly cursed out Gia and tried to stop her career. Then he changed his mind, and referred to Justin as "son-in-law". But just because Hidden Bacon is smiling, it doesn't mean he's not still a Crouching Tiger. Alan Tam, the legendary Hong Kong singer and actor who's getting a little long in the tooth these days, saw Tsang at the airport recently and their exchange went something like this:
ALAN TAM: Congratulations on becoming a father-in-law.
ERIC TSANG: I also congratulate you on still being alive for a couple of decades.
ALAN TAM: @#!*%
ERIC TSANG: #!@%*
Friends had to hold the two men back so that the fight didn't become physical.

The chain that makes the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bacon is called Breadtalk and originates in Singapore about 6 years ago. That particular delicacy is an enormous crunchy half-loaf of white bread which has been baked with some black pepper and cheese flavourings (to make it less bland) and buried inside are a few pieces of chewy bacon. It is extremely filling, and slightly painful to eat. When I first came to Singapore I was addicted to them for a few months. Get them in the morning, when they are freshly baked. After a few hours they get really too crunchy...

Have I ever said how deep my warm love feelings are for the people who comment on this board (well, except for the people who call me a camelf*cker - no, I love them too)?
Where else on earth could we all learn about the tasty qualities of a bun called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bacon.
(Full disclosure: I am completely addicted to cheese buns made with mayonaise and when I lived in Hong Kong that's really all I ate for days on end. That and those prepackaged peanut butter buns they sell at the Hong Kong 7-11.)
