| I have this habit of arranging my food in "interesting" ways |
We ate at Pizza Hut at my chilhood hometown Sandakan; the same day I received my first debit card. It took me quite a few minutes to arrange my meal so it would look acceptable on camera. I was quite hungry at that time so I didn't have time to remove that ugly sauce-stained plate at the back.
My aunt came along with us to eat at the luxurious diner and she was so funny when she saw the sweet barbeque chicken arrive at our table. It looked dark and shiny and it smelled HEAVENLY. Not to sound racist or impose skin color discrimination but she said, "Aik! Kenapa ini ayam jadi India suda?" It means, "Whoa! Why did this chicken turned Indian?"
It sounded a LOT funnier when she said it. I laughed the entire meal. I am so, so guilty on laughing about it because it's like I'm making fun of other people's race and skin color :< But I just can't help it! Maybe it's not the content of the joke my aunt said but the way she said it that made me laugh. She's very funny most of the time xD
The meal was VERY filling. I couldn't finish my second slice of pizza. It's normal. I get full very quickly. Probably because I enjoy my meals and eat them very slowly to SAVOR THE FLAVOR!!! The fries were okay; it tasted just like any other french fries I've had. The pizza? I only enjoyed eating the fat crust stuffed with delicious, rich and chewy Mozarella cheese. Oh man, when you bite it, it's so soft and fluffy yet a bit crunchy because of the slightly burnt dough on some areas. And when you chew it slowly you can taste that sweet, savoury cheese flavour on the sides and the back of your tongue and you just want that flavour to stay there FOREVER and ever and ever and ever and
The barbeque chicken! To be honest, I cannot remember the last time we at at Pizza Hut (We seldom eat at this kind of restaurants). Probably once a year or twice... Yes, the chicken. I ENJOY eating the skin and the coating! It's sweet, and a bit sour, very savoury. Crunchy, yet so tender... I cannot even describe it properly without saliva building up in my mouth at this very moment! The juices went all the way into the chicken meat and the meat... The MEAT inside! I don't even like eating meat but this... THIS particular meat is the ONLY exception. It tasted remarkable especially when you dip it into the sweet chili sauce they provided.
It's going to take maybe half a year more before we enter another Pizza Hut door. But that's alright. I shall wait for the next food euphoria no matter how long it takes. Time and distance makes the heart grow fonder, they say.
I'll be waiting.
