Waiting for lunch and I can feel the dual processor that is my stomach revving up. At this point in time, I find myself once again in a familiar quandary. The question that is so relentlessly nagging away at my starving brain is of course, “WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA EAT TODAY?!?”
While this question may seem trivial to some, we worker bees know better. Lunches are precious. It’s the only hour in the sun we get. Prison inmates get more than we do. An hour out of the freaking office to replenish our energy supplies with food, glorious food, only to have our brains turn into syrup the moment we step back into that shithole of a workplace. Hence, this priceless hour must be wrung dry as the Sahara desert or at least the way my eyes are feeling right now. Therefore, while I could be trying to improve my portfolio by writing brilliant copy or sneakily trying to surf porn on the office PC, I have decided to list the various food places we, the Shenton Way crowd, can reasonably decide to visit:
1. Amoy Market/Food Center (I can’t even remember what it’s called!?!)
2. Maxwell Market (If eating fried fish soup in stifling heat is your cup of tea, this is your place)
3. Ocean something (serves economic/curry/vege/ rice and a delicious looking fish head curry)
4. Burger King (BLEAH)
5. Shenton House (the Japanese food here is brilliant. Fork out $5 and you’ll be laughing)
6. Lau Pa Sat (not the best food around and it’s pricey as well. AVOID AVOID)
7. Hans (The food’s ok I guess. But not the type of stuff I’d wanna eat on a regular basis)
8. Some Indian place down from Hans (Tasted authentic and the fella dumps a mountain of rice on your banana leaf before asking “more?” to which you are advised to vigorously wave your hands and shake your head)
9. Nonya Express (Never tried)
10. Soup & Bread (I think that’s what it’s called. Never tried too)
11. Some bread place. (I believe they serve sandwiches. The whole place looks too sterile for my liking though. If you can imagine eating in a laboratory, this is what it’d be like)
12. A Japanese Karee Place (Not bad… but Japanese curry just doesn’t taste right)
LUNCH!
