Supersize me..... PLEASE!

I met up with some ppl for dinner the other nite. So what u say? I mean, that's what thousands of ppl do all the time! It's part of our social structure, to go out for a meal that someone cooks for u and u enjoy the company of the ppl that are there.

So that's what that nite was, i saw it as an opportunity to catch up with some ppl i havent in awhile. I never heard of the place we were to meet for the meal, but sounded like a nice enough place. Just a casual place with good food and good company.

It was great seeing everyone, but the place was a bit of a disappointment. It was one of those posh places that was all quiet, no atmosphere, whose dishes resembled one peanut on a serving platter. The menu, or lack of, was a choice of 2 fixed menus. A restaurant with only 2 choices!? Are u serious??

Anyway, i made my choice (out of 2) and went on to undergo gastronomical suffering 6 times. Yes, there were 6 courses all up, all the size of a wonton/meatball on a giant white ceramic plate. I must admit the food was very nice and tasty, but making u suffer between each course was not fun. I mean, it takes ONE bite and chew and swallow to finish one course, and just as u are ready to take another bite, there's nothing left! Hence i had to treat each tasty morsel with great delicacy, and preserve it as long as possible. Its like eating an M&M with a fork and knife.

Definitely my 1st and last time there, it may have been tasty, but until they introduce a supersized menu, i think i'll stick with Nando's half chicken and chips extra hot combo thanks.
