I just went for dinner at this place caled NAN YANG (yes like southeast) that claims to sell food from south east asia. Not bad I must say, and it made me miss home..well...food from Singapore mainly. Then we went to Fenton's Ice Creamery. My 3rd time there. The ice cream is ok....too rich for me...and too creamy..but hey its more for the experience anyway. I had their weekly, or issit daily special. They call it Myrtle's Special. This week's special had like brownie and choc ice cream and cookies and creama dn like fudge that was oh so thick. Although Jerold and I shared, I couldn't finish it. FULL. Well, Winston finished it for us...haha he calls himself the "scavenger".
So when we walked out, we were commenting that the portions were way too big. You know, like alittle would have been nice but their portions made us all feel sick. And me, being oh so me, said "Well, thats cos they serve big white people portions." and everyone laughed.
But whats wrong with saying that? Its true isnt it? That white pple tend to have bigger frame (and btw most pple in there were white) that Asians. And they eat more! Thats why they have those bellies....I don't think its racist. Its just a truth of life.
There are these stupid Ads at the bus stops near campus that say "That Puerto Rican guy..." and they cancel out the puerto rican. And its an anti racism campaign. I think thats a bit too extreme. I mean we can't help that we are of a particular race right? I mean its just like "That tall guy" Or "That fat girl". Sometimes I feel that people are just way too conscious about race issues.
Anyway, I talk too much. So I am full. And its time to start work. I was thinking of setting up a Food and Culture Club in Berkeley.....but I hate paperwork and Bureacracy...how now brown cow?

u are lucky to have a SEA food restaurant there!! but heh maybe raising awareness of good asian food might be good. i still dun get why angmohs think the world of salads and sandwiches. i mean, yah sure they make u full, but i still tink asian cooking is so much more of a fine art to be appreciated! heh ok so maybe its just a cultural thing.
and oh, if they din serve big portions, ppl (as in the angmoh crowd) wouldnt want to buy i tink, cos they wouldnt be satisfied! so yah lor, the trick seems to be .. share wif a friend! (or bf, in your case =P)
