Confessions of Ms. Picky Eater
Because of the snowy weather last Sunday, we had canceled our company dinner. But I guess Dec 26th was the day we couldn't resist all-you-can-eat seafood and sushi.
Although there was still plenty of slippery melting snow on the walkways and biting cold, I walked half a mile and took the bus to the Northgate mall to meet my co-workers at Bluefin Sushi and Seafood Buffet. I would just like to say that it was all worth it, and I don't even like to eat sushi.
My favorite remains the honey-walnut shrimp. One has to love a buffet where they don't scrimp on the walnuts. I love the japchae and pajeon and the kalbi. And I did try the sushi, which I didn't dislike. I'm actually surprised to be eating weird-tasting (at least to my uncultured tastebuds) food.
Since a year ago, I've been noticing changes in my food habits. Wow, me the picky eater. I've been drinking lots of tea. I guess I've grown accustomed to it, even to the fishy smelling (at least to my uncultured nose) green tea. Now, I reach for green/black/barley tea to wash down greasy food instead of Coca-Cola, which incidentally tastes 100x better these days.
I've also have been noticing cravings for sushi rolls, seaweed (nori) and kimchi. I'm not complaining. But sometimes I just go, "Whoa, what's going on with me?"
In any case, I'm thinking of using my unexpected bonus to bring my family to Bluefin. It says something good of a restaurant, if one thinks of coming back another time soon after letting out a satiated burp. ごちそうさまでした。(Gochisosamadeshita) Thank you for the good food, indeed.
