Bumpy Experience

Nutty. Crunchy. Anything but sweet and simple.

Priorities. A must-have on everyone's to do list. A requirement that demonstrates qualities of selflessness and care.

It's something to live on.
As well to make an excuse of.

The problem about this mandatory factor is that there is always more than priority that fights for its throne. Yet, all of them are at equal in weight, stress, and most of all, importance. Many would choose that the top three priorities on their list are: family, friends, and school/career. However, accumulating all three can make your balance of time to fall or become lop-sided, never in order.

You can obviously see that this blog is not a priority at all. Which breaks my heart.

It is clearly obvious that Golden Spoon doesn't take much attention or priority on their servings' appearances. Golden Spoon is...pricey, not much appeal to my taste, not proportional, and mediocre. Yogurt should be refreshing and light to the tongue. On the contrary, Golden Spoon serves their yogurt plain, unless the customers would want to spend extra cash on toppings that they can easily acquire (I should have just taken a few of my almond rocas at home and make it myself instead of spending another $1.55 or so on the pre-crushed).

It's just sweet. Maybe too sweet. Nothing more.

sandwiching everything into one.

Geometrically Balanced.

Senior year is a drag.

Other than complaining about how ridiculous and hectic senior year is with the burden of college essays and SAT, I decide to be happy and grateful for late starts.

Did I mention that I don't have a first period? Oh, the utter joy of not getting to school till 11:00AM.

So a couple of friends and I decided to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to go out for breakfast! It's was quite shocking seeing Hong Kong Plaza at its emptiest state. Feast your eyes on a completely empty parking lot!

Anyways, we decided to try out the Garden Cafe since Connie said its food is quite delicious during lunch/dinner. Although the selection of its breakfast was somewhat limited (and full of macaroni soup), we were still willing to try out their fairly well-priced meals.

Most of us were first served with macaroni soup served with ham, carrots, and peas. The oddest thing about Hong Kong style cafes are that they add some of the most random ingredients and smash them together. Staring at a mumble jumble of pasta with chicken broth, I felt very annoyed that the macaroni wasn't submerged into some other sauce such as cheese or marinara sauce. I would conventionally see it with meat or melting cheddar cheese waiting to be eaten. However, these poor macaronis felt sadly misplaced.

We then moved on to the main course. Jono and I decided to share a spam with scrambled egg sandwich, which tasted pretty normal. Props for making it look very Asian with the sliced off crust and square shape.

The restaurant serves Hong Kong cuisine aka "myriad-of-different-recipes" cuisine since the restaurant seems to experiment with different types of foods and just smash it into one. The more I go to restaurant that serves this unique cuisine, the more I begin to dislike it.

Maybe I should avoid experimented food.
