Major Faux Pas

by mott on May 27, 2007

Yesterday.
We had a b’day celebration in our family. It was nice to be treated by my papa. In a nice swanky wanky restaurant (ok la..it was senses at Hilton Sentral).

Poor papa..the credit card now got BIG BILL to pay! Nvm la Papa…for my birthday, I just want to get down and dirty and just eat yummy crabs at Old Klang Road la. Your daughter very easy to please one.

Sigh!

No.. no.. I did not fall flat on my face, despite wearing 2 1/2 inch heels. I did not accidentally let one rrrrip (aka poopoo blow bubbles). I did not burp like a old chinese guy.

Y’see..they were serving bread (very nice bread) and another waiter was pouring what I thought to be olive oil, into a plate right infront of us. Now, this plate had a combination of spices which I geniunely thought smelt really good. So there I was, instead of buttering my bread, I dipped my bread into this plate.

Woooooaaaahhhhh…tasted so damn good man! I could taste the various spices like cardamon, cinnamon, star anise, etc etc.. Plus, it was warm. I thought it was nice of them to heat up the olive oil, so that the taste of the spices get infused really quickly.

I thought I was sooooo high class… doing that. Becoz nobody else was doing it. Then, I asked everyone to try it. It was really nice..I didn’t understand why EVERYONE was buttering their bread.

Hmmmm…..

Then a waiter walked up and told us that this ‘infusion with warm water’ was to enhance our 5 senses so that we will have a better dining experience.

Bzzzzppp* What?

I felt so embarrased. And there I was dipping my bread into it. Hey! That guy who poured in the “oil” used a Oil Decanter. How the heck was I to know that it was just water? Ok Ok…I’m just being defensive..coz I was really really embarrased.

Sigh.. my mother laughed at me. I just quietly said, “But it REALLY tasted good!”.

Sigh…major “katak in the tempurung” action, man. That’s why I decided to drink the wine and much later..champagne.

Ok la..laugh at me la. Go ahead…at least I didn’t go to bed last night, feeling embarrased. I just thought it was really really funny! Hee hee heee….

Hee hee hee…this is major faux pas…IT’S NOT MY BIRTHDAY!!! HEE HEE HEE..

When your papa takes you out to Old Klang Road for crabs, pls try and remember this no matter how thirsty or hungry you are: LIME WATER IS FOR WASHING YOUR FINGERS.
