food ... from a different perspective

I've been hounded & badgered by a certain food connoisseur to contribute to the blog. Nag, nag , nag... So regardless of whether I have anything interesting to write about or not, I better come out with a post today.

I was sort of whining to a friend the other day that I was out of topic... If I write yet another dog story, I sure kena hantam-one.That caused me to hesitate even tho' I was bursting to tell anybody willing to listen - how I rescued 1 of 2 puppies from a manhole despite the obstacles, and how, today the 2 of them are named "Ah Sar & Ah Kiew". (after the HK singers, "The Twins" - Gillian Chung & Charlene Choi.) So cute leh.

My friend said it was natural for bloggers to write about their passions, E about Food and me about Dogs. As for S, she doesn't keep reverting to 1 particular issue so guess she is inscrutable where her passion is concerned! Miss Mysterious.....

It is strange that 4 of us attended the same buffet dinner and whereas E can go on and on about the food, I was walking around and around and around wondering what to eat ! Oysters to me is yuckks-tastes just like mud. Suchi and all those uncooked food are doubly yucks! Basically I am a meat person and it has to be 'well done'. It was a sad day for me when I reached the end of the food counter and learnt that there wasnt's any roast lamb or chicken wings/chops or steak. Aiyoh, satay pun tak ada!

How to get my money's worth leh? Even at half price, it was still about RM 43.00 per head.. tsk tsk.. many packets of cigarettes. I couldn't tapow any food for the strays because M moved our seats from a secluded corner to somewhere really conspicuous - next to the coffee/tea counter manned by a waiter throughout the evening. I then thought to myself, "nyak-ah-ah, (sneaky laugh) at least I can drink 7 cups of coffee!" But alas, even the coffee was too bitter for my liking and goodness gracious, I only drank 1 cup!

Sigh ... the only consolation was seeing the rest of them enjoying plates after plates of so-called goodies! One man's meat is another man's poison... how true... Having said that, do I get to choose the venue for my birthday treat next month, do I, do I? And please don't anyone dare tell me that they are on a diet then!
