Bad Lunch

After the minor injuries (yang jatuh tepi longkang tu...), i decided today i should get back to the gym. Dah boleh pakai socks. Anyway, i wanted to get movie tickets to Pirates for tonite. Promised Shal we would go together. Its school holidays plus its friday night, the sms reservation is fully taken up.

After my workout (my personal record...tak pernah over 2 hours kat gym tu), i thot might as well have lunch at the One Utama food court (old wing) before i go home for a nap. I hear Pirates last for 3 hours, so nanti tertidur pulak. Rasa nak makan nasi biasa je hari ni...so i took nasi putih, tempe goreng, sayur campur and ikan masak asam rebus. Cost me RM6+.

So i sat down, first taste dah rasa tempe tu manis gila, then kuah asam tu weird...but still boleh makan. Then i dissected the fish....macam undercooked je, but still i had a few bites...then sampai part dekat tulang..nampak merah2, like blood still visible...i stopped. This is not good.


I took the plate back to the cashier...which is quite a sight, dengan handbag, dengan gym bag, dengan pinggan lagi..

Me:"Kak, ikan ni tak masak"

C:"Meh sini nak kasi masak"

Okaayy, i thot i was gonna get a refund, but i just stood there and she took the plate inside.

C:"Kak, ikan ni memang banyak darah"

Me:"huh?"

C:"Kak mesti tak pernah makan ikan ni"

Me:"Ikan apa"

C:"Ikan patin"

Another C:"Ikan ni ubat tau, elok untuk kulit. Customer complain kalau kita masak sangat, esp orang cina"

Me:"Saya tak tau"

Waited, and waited.

Me:"So, apa yang lama sangat ni"

C:"Microwave"

My stomach was feeling quesy already, with this fishy, sweet taste in my mouth. Do i really want the plate back. Then this makcik came out with the plate screaming "Panas, panas, ambik tray."
Memang smoking the plate. I took a look at the fish,,...still look the same.

I kept quite, carried the tray and sat down. Stared at the plate...melamine plastic. Not a good idea to microwave plastic....Nak makan ke tak?...Sayangkan, rezeki. But i really couldnt stomach it...dah kembang and all the rice (the pix is after the microwave treatment).

So i walked away, paid the parking and left. Came home to an orange juice. I dont think i can stomach anything just yet. Maybe i'll drag Shal to supper later after the movie...
