...ASIAN (II)

i am still asian. of course. that is because it is still the same week. only tuesday.

i have had a busy day at work. although i only sat there in mcdonald's and watch the little one - who is apparently not my son but my boss' son - shooting for a MD's advert. he was brilliant. and i had some time to think of my asian dinner which was already formed in my mind - i cannot stand MD's food so i did not eat. i did not even try the chips there they just look so lackadaisical (this is the absolute right word for it!) and not quite tasty. so i decided to stay MD sober - drinking water and some sprite...

(this is my mango. i have cut it so perfectly) 

and my thoughts went off to my dinner. asian it should be. there was still some of the coconut ramen left. alright, so i would not break my decision to eat asian for a week. at least i would last the first week. right. and there was this mango i bought the other day. and miraculously sohyi kim helped out again. she must be such a fantastic cook. if i had the money i would go and eat there but i think a student does not earn enough to enjoy the food there (except i ask my parents to go there with me...). right. thank you, sohyi kim you saved my life twice. although it is not about surviving or similar stories but it feels like betrayal if i gave up on my ideas the second day of starting to fullfill them.

tuesday's meal: mango salad with soy-sauce and groundnuts.

it was more than wonderful to sit there and eat some of the left overs (the most amazing left overs i ever had in this kitchen, which is not profoundly much but it was better than most left overs - the only exception would be my granny's meal-left overs...). and then in there came the extraordinary salad - courgettes, bean sprouts, soy sauce, coriander, red peppers, mango and moooore mango.

the taste of it. not only it was spicy because of the spices (i could have said it at least a bit more elegant but im not in the mood to look for some special phrases ...) - meaning soy sauce and coriander - it also tasted really sweet. like a pop song. there are some spices but there is still some sweetness left. i do not know how to explain it differently. it was like an explosion in your mouth. my whole tongue was involved getting to know new flavours.
