It's Sunday again and time for the weekly HSBI and DUO token giveaway! In actuality, it has grown as every week I'm giving out CCD and BBH tokens as well to some lucky winners. Participation has grown a lot over the last year, I remember only having five or six entries at first. This week we had 38 participants, down from 42 last week but still pretty good!
For those unfamiliar with CCD, it's from @cryptocompany that was created by @powerpaul , celebrating it's third anniversary. He is a builder here on Hive and we need more of those. He could use your support if you can spare some HP consider delegating it to @cryptocompany and earn CCD tokens in return.
BBH is a project brought to us by @bradleyarrow , and is a great project. You can tip others by holding sufficient BBH but also receive a drip of tokens every Saturday just for holding more than 10. There is also the BBHO project as well, I am invested in them both and think they are a great investment!
Before I pose this weeks question let's go over the top picks from last weeks entry question about your favorite Chinese dish...
Peking Duck
unileverfoodsolutions.co.id
Originally from Beijing this delicacy has been around since the Imperial times. It's duck roasted with a crispy skin and carved right before being eaten. This is a classic Chinese dish that most people love, assuming that you like duck! Thanks for this excellent recommendation by @gatet , @flummi97 , @tengolotodo , @whywhy , @bitandi and @lumpiadobo . By far the most popular choice of the week!
Sweet and Sour Pork
lostlaowai.com
There are many ways I've seen this prepared and I've enjoyed them all. The sweet and sour sauce tastes great when blended with breaded and fried pork. I've loved this since I was a kid. Thanks for this recommendation to @ladyaryastark , @lanzjoseg , @olaf.gui and @freed99 !
Sweet and Sour Chicken
kitchensanctuary.com
And the next variant used commonly with sweet and sour sauce is breaded and fried chicken. Also a very tasty treat and prepared in different fashions as well. I personally have been more of fan of the pork version, but this is good too! Thanks to @geneeverett , @doombot75 , @okarun and @sacra97 !
Dim Sum
dimsumcentral.com
Dim Sum is a range of different Chinese dishes to choose from and are a tasty treat. It's often accompanied by tea. It's been awhile, but wow that looks good! Thanks for the choice by @rainbowdash4l , @henruc and @tortangkahoy !
Shrimp Rice
eatingonadime.com
Shrimp fried rice is simple and delicious dish. Fresh shrimp tossed into fried rice always tastes great! As a matter of fact @gwajnberg mentioned he even likes fried rice by itself, I do too! What's not to like? Thanks to @florakese and @cositav for this great recommendation!
Xiao Long Bao
thetakeout.com
This bamboo basket filled with steamed dumplings is always really good. There are many different styles on fillings, but always a tasty treat. Great choice by @dewabrata and @longganisan !
Fortune Cookie
pinterest.com
This fun cookie wasn't actually a Chinese creation, instead it was invented in San Francisco. However, it has become a universal staple after a meal worldwide in Chinese style restaurants. I love how they taste, although the fortunes aren't usually all that accurate! Not to mention the lottery numbers are never lucky... Thanks for this recommendations from @libertycrypto27 !
And since the list today was so long and varied I'll sum up the rest quickly. Orange Chicken was picked by @hatdogsensei , Dragon and Phoenix from New Jersey's finest Chinese place Hunan Taste by @silverd510 . Tofu-soup with pok choi and fermented soy beans from @beelzael . Luo Han Zhai from my good friend @silversaver888 and potstickers from my friend @silvertop .
Szechuan anything was recommended by @holdeck2 , obviously a spicy food fan just like me! Fried Noodles with Shrimp from @ekavieka and Fried Rice by @gwajnberg . Rice and dumplings was the favorite of @bigorna1 and Babi pangang was the choice of @stekene .
Congee was the pick of @middle-earthling and simple white rice by @angeluxx . Anything with noodles was the favorite of ladymisa and @mytechtrail chose calamari. @ronnie10 went with a simple and wonderful choice of White Tea. And @servelle went with Rou Bing and even provided a picture, is sure looks tasty doesn't it? I've had it before, it is really good!
Now moving onto the question for this week's entry.
What is your personal favorite morning beverage?
The Giveaway
I will be giving out one prize of five (5) HSBI. Second and Third prizes will be 2 DUO tokens, the token I recently launched with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . It offers those who stake sufficient tokens daily curation on quality posts, dividends, and a tipping bot. It also helps to onboard and retain new Hive members. At the end of the post there is a link to the white paper and where to purchase the tokens. Fourth prize is 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. To participate you need a reputation level of at least 25 and bots cannot win. And please one entry per person to make it fair to everyone.
If you would like to be placed on a weekly reminder list just let me know and I'll make sure you get tagged each week.

How to Enter
Every week this will change. I'm looking for engagement rather than just saying "I am in". There is no need to upvote or re-blog, although if you choose to do so I would appreciate it. This week's question should be fun: What is your personal favorite morning beverage?
HSBI

Choosing the Winners
All valid entries will be placed on the Wheel of Names and I will spin it four times. The first prize will be 5 HSBI units. The second and third prize will be two DUO tokens. Fourth prize will be 100 BBH tokens. Fifth prize will be 250 CCD tokens. And since I am spinning the same wheel four times in a row it is theoretically possible for the same person to win all four prizes! Although I have yet to see it happen, maybe this week?
Deadline
One week from today which will be Sunday May 4, 2025 at 8 A.M. California Pacific Time.
