communal pots...festive feasts...all you can eat...actually...the direct translation would be "eat till full..." i'd prefer to more accurately rephrase the slogan..."eat till you die/puke" definitely think its more fitting...


the former part of my excursion spent in s.e. asia....i frequented quite a few 5* hotel buffets....and eventually it got me hurting and thinking enough to write a good 4 pages in my journal on the art of buffet preparation and strategic attack on the numerous selections of food...mental preparation for meals prior to the feast and cooking prep for the post keeled over meal (for those just in case situations)....in anycase...i'll spare you my futile rant on eating at ur standard buffet because here in taiwan.....this self serve format, i feel, doesn't really apply to the communal hotpot/grill style of "eat till the death"


chopsticks swishing of saliva exchange....


ox tongue is on the grill



sukiyaki



oh....lopppy...this would be cartilage....the white stuff chillin' n' grillin'



long spoons and communal soup....why wouldn't soondoobu be a hit here?



hey beebong -- it's almost as if i really want to be a writer ehh?  poignant and lame all at once....it's a skill....

my dear brother, other than the fact that blogging revolves around active restrospect of your equidistant life actions, my protruding belly and my bowel regularity (its churning as we speak) should give you some kind of idea as to how the mind of a food freak works....food thoughts before food, food during food, and food after food...sometimes if re-visiting a certain establishment, rather than savouring the meal of the moment, i think forward of the next one only because the memory of what i am eating has already been recorded and replayed at 8x speed allowing mental acitivity to push further for the following meal....GET IT?


and while i'm on the email reply to the public...it's a love song for no one...


"this is a song about uhh...talking to the person that you haven't even met yet....maybe they're rolling in the hay with someone else...but they're  not as good as you'll be...just gotta wait your turn...she's out there..he's out there...they're just learning what to contrast you against....."

did you notice that the majority of your random babble is about food .. !! i guess you do ..anyways .. i'm totally living vicariously thru your adventures in eating.. i miss the real authentic goodies of the motherland.. and with that thought, i thank you for allowing me the visuals of what I long for to be in my belly
