We had a lovely evening meal out today, my colleagues and I, celebrating the impending retirement of one, and the up coming 30th birthdays of two lovely ladies!
It was one of those Chinese order what you want, buffet style restaurants, piping hot fresh food for a set price.
Today is my veggie day, Tuesday… (Don’t ask, I’ll explain in another post!) so I, along with three others, ordered the vegetarian starter platter, with spring rolls, seaweed, mushrooms, tofu, crispy wantons…
Well it was all lovely until I came across the wantons, which were essentially filo pastry, folded up like a wanton… But transparent… Nothing in there! Literally just the pastry! As I bit into one, the wanton flaking around my mouth, my pocket sized, soon to be 30 friend, piped up “Crispy Wanton? More like Crispy wanton-Earth is this!!!”
Love the quick wit of my dear friends!!
Oh, and did I mention the vegetarian selection included Monk Duck and Monk Chicken… So… Is that duck and chicken fed purely on a vegetarian diet? Celibate duck or chicken? No, it was a Tofu style dish made to look like, and taste like either duck or chicken! Mock Duck or Mock Chicken more like!!!!
But I Smile Anyway...
