Gluttony

Posted by jepoyzter under Food, Random Post

Yesterday was Michelle’s last day in Taiwan. For her, it wont be a complete and satisfying stay if she didn’t had a Meat Sauce Spaghetti at Swensen’s. So I agreed to have lunch with her at Swensen’s the night before.

So the next day before we left home. I told her that theres another branch we should consider visiting and its just 2-3 km away from Swensen’s in RenAi Road and also along DunHua North Road. Since we have this miss communication problems and hunger had overcome our sense of direction, we end up eating at RenAi Branch instead of the one in MinSheng Road.

While I’m looking at menu. Michelle was already decided to have a meat sauce spaghetti, and after a few minutes I chose to have a mushroom cheese burger. I know that their burger is served quite big for my small appetite (sorta kinda) and I doubt myself that I can finish the whole thing. But were still kinda undecided whether we should order an appetizer or not. I kinda like to order a plate of calamari but the problem is Michelle don’t eat squids. So she ask me if we can order a house sampler instead. I would ate the calamari and the buffalo wings, and she would take the potato skins and the mozzarella cheese sticks. That fine with me. When our order came we didn’t see any calamari on the plate. I didn’t also bother to read the description on the menu since I take Michelle’s word for it. So in the end we end up sharing everything whats on the plate and we were both almost full after finishing the whole dish, and our main course haven’t arrived yet.

So when her spaghetti and my burger arrived, were both full. I am staring at my burger and didn’t know where to start. Should I just eat the beef patty with melted cheese and mushrooms on top plus the veggies and wedge fries on the side ignoring the bun? or should I stack everything into one and start piggin on it? Well in the end, I end up with option 2 and little by little, slice by slice I finished the whole thing. Thats one hell of a burger I should say, and no burger for me for the meantime.

So after a big meal, and tummy is as big as a watermelon. We decided to walk down to Eslite Bookstore and check out some books and magazine. Since Michelle couldn’t find an issue of Entertainment Weekly featuring Christian Bale we headed out the bookstore and upon passing one shelf along the way to the door. There’s a book titled in big bold letters “GLUTTONY” staring at us. Hahaha…
