I had been drowning in work that I don’t have a life.
Pretty much this is it.
I joined the company dinner because 1) I was expected to and 2) it’s free and I know it’s going to be expensive.
This, I made a mistake. All I heard was it’s bamboo. I took one, ate the noodles. Just as I was scraping off the meat from the bamboo, I said, hey this is not bamboo.
It was bamboo shell—a mollusc.
I immediately offered this to my seatmate who is based in landlocked Beijing. She gladly took it.
It was too late for me. I already ingested the delucious soup/sauce. I ended up itchy and had to take antihistamine and got knocked out. 🤦🏻♀️
The rest of the meal was delicious. I didn’t take any more photos of the food for my girls because the rest was standard Chinese food that you will have in a banquet of pricey Chinese restos in Manila.
Ok, gotta get out of bed and go to work again. My manager and our APAC boss is going to talk to me at 5 pm. Wish me… Good tidings?
