"if u were a flower, ud be a rose and ur mom would be a carnation" -- debz
my moms been gone a week. and dad has been indulging in some of the non home cooked meals that he's been barred from eating in the maternal presence. apparently he's lost 4lbs due to a severe increase in veges, zero red meat and some redundant and poor cooked home meals here and there (his weight loss is of course a good thing cuz certain health issues are arising). mom can cook specific dishes really really well but overall, but she doesn't have a grasp for flavors of food and basically, she eats to live, so how's she gonna cook daily for a man who lives to eat? culinary wise, she's done quite well, driven by sheer "care and affection of her family" but realistcally, dads palate has been CRAVING a wishlist. so, we had one hour to eat on thursday, and we drove 30 miles for dimsum at 'dun cheng' (dont know the english name, the one across from flushing mall). i haven't had dim sum in soo long and everything looked so good. havent' seen the push carts in a long time (almost non existent in HK now), i gotso excited, the two of us had 28 dollars worth of dimsum, NO NOODLES. hahaha..*burp*. its so unfortunate the cantonese food has to be so terrible in taiwan.
so that was thursday. then came friday night, we needed DINNER. and its been a while since the auxillary chin nation got together for sh*ts, giggles and a feast. me, dad, benny (master chef) and wife lana, my uncle (eater extraordinaire) and kim (who wasn't there fri). and so, a FAVORITE restaurant of ours is "spicy & tasty" (highly touted in the nytimes). szechuan numbing chilli spice right up the alley of the indonesian chinese family craving the usual "set list of ordering". chilli braised beef, intestine and blood casserole, double cooked pork, fried bread, squash and that hollow vege, and soybean tilapia or fried sweet and sour fish. man...everything tasted delishiously oily!! i, like the anomaly i am, went no rice as usual, dad and uncle and benny did 2 bowls of white rice each, lana talked about wanting things that benny didnt agree to and we laughed at each other. so full.
my dad is the leader of the eating cavalry and his haitus due to mom being back was juxtaposed with satirical jokes of "torture and neglect"....nelson mandella's prison term. etc etc. but now, the bachelor is back. ha! ridiculously funny and semi-out of control. it's genetic. i love it. cheerio.
