勞力的成果, Fruits of Labour

With Great Food Comes Great Responsibilities, or something like that. After the Perfect Storm came the not-so-perfect cleanup. I was recalled from Taipei to help out. Hey, me and Iggy did all the dirty work of clearing out soggy inventory, boxes, documents and all. Our entire office basement was flooded.

These botaks over here just came conveniently after all the dirty work was done and carried them all away. But it does bring back memories of SAI-GANG in the good ol army days. Hey, even their superior was doing that eye-power thing and barking out orders without lifting a finger. We two countries do have something in common in this aspect.

So after the pump cleared up the water after two-three days, the office was still in a mess but serviceable now. So for our troubles, we all went out for a good solid hot-pot dinner - Szechuan style.

It was hot! I stuck to the yin portion of the pot after tasting the red-yang soup, nearly roasted my tongue off. There was pig's blood, intestines, straw mushrooms, fish-paste, meatballs, dumplings, thinly sliced 五花肉, you know, the usual hot-pot stuff.

I think the thing about steamboats is that if you're with great friends, it's really a good experience. But of course the food here is excellent as well. The service was top-notch too. Good conversations always make the meal, I share this belief with a good friend of mine.

Comments: By default, steamboat is healthy. And i'm ignoring the fact that one always overeats at steamboats. and this round isn't any exception either. But I earned it.
