Durian don't mix well with beer. @ 5:20 PM
Yesterday our colleague, David, visited us from 'Aussie land'. The Nuffies brought him for lunch at Boon Tong Kee - Balestier, which is very near our workplace. Later in the evening, we brought him to East Coast Park to enjoy some local food. He seems to love Satay a lot and that is also the first time he has actually eaten a Stingray!
And seriously, in what way is a Durian associated with an angmoh?
We were at a famous durian stall along Balestier road just opposite my house!
We ordered one bitter-sweet durian for try-out.
You know when we chinese refer to a particular food which we don't like to eat, sometimes we would say "我不会吃" (I don't know how to eat). But you know that isn't the literal meaning. It's just 'don't like to eat'. But for David, it is literally - "I don't know how to eat"!
He couldn't decide where to place his fingers at.
Do I use my fingers? He asked. Yes, we answered. Then, he had his first physical touch at the durian flesh, he exclaimed, "ohh, it's soft!". Then he couldn't decide how to hold it! But we have HW here to teach him!
He said it was difficult to describe that kinda feeling. It wasn't detestable, it wasn't fantastic. I guess it is afterall not a caucasian thing. LOL!
After this, we headed a few blocks away to Quality Hotel's lounge for some beer! You wouldn't wanna know the kind of stuff we were talking about after the liquor took control of our brains!
Look at tomato Elise!
My life is like a stroll on the beach...
as near to the edge as I can go.
