Well, today it finally happened...my worst night mare. The whole fish came to the table. Literally. The number one question I field from everyone is "How are you guys eating?" In short, we are not starving or missing any meals. At the current rate, we will come back +25 as opposed to -25.
Today we went to lunch with Beng Guan and Agnes. Thai was the genre of the day. We went to a very, very nice Thai restaurant. This restaurant was very traditional, according to Beng Guan. As is custom here, a number of plates were ordered and we all shared. They have been very polite about asking if there is anything we don't like. No surprise, I speak up every time and make it known I do not care for fish.
So today, we were eating a very nice meal - good appetizers, with the main course on the way. And then, IT CAME. Apparently, Beng Guan had ordered grouper. Grouper at this restaurant is served whole..literally, it looks like they stick the whole fish in the grease and take it to the table. Eyes, tail, tongue, the whole enchilada. For those of you that know my complete disdain for fish, you understand why this was an issue. Unfortunately, his head was at my end of the table the entire meal. I thought it rude to ask someone to turn it the other way, so I put my water glass in front of his face. It did not help.
Some how, some way, I managed to make it through lunch - with Mr. Grouper looking at me the entire time. It was a struggle, but I managed to keep what I had eaten down. I did not eat any more after Sir Grouper graced us with his presence. Bruce and Charna got a chuckle out of it..because as soon as it came to the table..they knew.
We will be seeking something normal for dinner tonight..McDonalds?
