Disgusting + Rewarding

Have you ever encountered both of that at one go before?

I did. Last night, precisely. During a farewell dinner we threw for Jasmine who's leaving to UK tomorrow morning.

Jasmine wanted to have a Chinese meal since she can foresee that she won't be having any good Chinese food for a whole year while she's there. :) So, Chinese dinner it was and off we headed to an area called Aman Suria..I think. (Right girls?)

She happily ordered the food. We happily chatted while waiting for the food to arrive.

A couple of minutes later, the dishes were brought onto the table one by one.

"Makan!", we greeted each other before eating. So, as we were enjoying the food, we chatted at the same time. I think this is a bad habit in us which we all cannot deny. Multi-taskers right, what to do? :p

Then all of a sudden, Jasmine's younger sister, Kimberly, said out aloud, "Jie, what is this?" while pointing to something foreign on her spoon innocently. So adorable.

Next thing you know, the whole table consisting of 5 girls started 'Eeeeeewing' even louder. It was a freakin fingernail. (We assumed it was a fingernail and hopefully not a toenail!) She found it inside the vegetable dish. The rest of them were pretty grossed out at it but surprisingly I wasn't that disgusted compared to them. Probably because I didn't get a good view of the nail. No thanks.

Amanda, being the daring one that she is, (also cos she could speak in Mandarin) called for the boss and asked "So how now?!" in a tone that equaled to "This better be a free dish".

The boss then said "Okay okay, mian fei." in a way which sounded like everything we ordered was on the house.

We were confused at first but then continued our talk over a refilled pot of Chinese tea. After we were done and wanted to leave, our confusion came back so this time Jasmine asked if we needed to pay anything and the boss just said "No need" in a very weird facial expression I cannot quite read. It showed reluctance + a constipated smile. Hahaha.

We left the restaurant happily after chowing down crabs, chicken, mantis prawns, and 'the vegetable' which earned us a free meal. :)

I was like, 'Aiya, should have ordered more crabs if we knew about this earlier.' Then someone said, 'You still dare to eat ah after seeing that nail?'

Also, Jasmine started to make us worry by saying, 'Eh what if they spat into the Chinese tea just now?' Hahahaha.

Amanda was the funniest. She didn't even eat the vegetable at all but she was the one who complained the most and she went, 'If it was my mother, a free meal would not be enough k!' LOL.

I would have to admit that this is one heck of a memorable dinner which we can continue to laugh about for the next few years when we walk down memory lane together. :)
