But men tend to have a strange effect on the female nerves, and it isn't always relaxing. Some men are just best admired from a distance.
When contemplating the possibility of starting something with a guy who has caught your fancy, this delectable dish of e-fu noodles, which symbolises both luck and longevity, might just do the trick.
And add a dash of good fortune to your love life.
