food glorious food!

celebrated my mom's bday and father's day at summer palace @ Regent Hotel today... and wow.. the food IS good, and so was the immaculate service.. yummy yummy! it's been a long time since I have ventured into a posh posh chinese restaurant and ate such a sumptuous meal liao, so I'm grateful for it. =)

remember a time when our family of 5 complete went gallivanting around new and posh chinese restaurants, especially those opened by Tung Lok group, and just trying all the fantastic food and have a superb gastronomical experience everytime... but look what a few years has done liao.. hmmm

oh well, since we're on the topic of food.. there's this silly article about army rations in the newspapers today, that honestly prompts me something.

- hardtack tastes absolutely delicious when you're starving in brunei. i think even better than the sealed packets.

- it's really crap all the things they have said about the packet food. for one, i have NEVER seen Japanese Curry Pasta before, and for another, no one actually has the time to go and take out mess tin and go and cook those meals till it's like hot hot and so on then eat it. most of the time you're either too tired, or you're eating in the rain... so there is a VERY big difference.

- but honestly, when faced with such issues of food when you're out there on your own... you JUST have to console yourself by saying the food is so darn good and rejoice when you get some better menus like "Mutton Curry Pasta" or "Spaghetti Bolognaise" and so on, or else moan and attempt to do swaps with others if u land yourself with "Chicken Rice With Mushroom". i positively HATED that.. never never ever ate it... aniwez, back to the topic, you JUST have to humour yourself intro liking the food so as to uplift your morale and ensure you survive. it's like that.
