Bite Me!

Sky Cafe Beancurd
Swiped from williamnyk.

My throat and mouth is very sensitive. I would do anything in my power to keep my throat irritation-free and my oral mucosa ulcer-free. I watch my food intake and increase my fluid intake. Basically, I avoid all sorts of "heaty" foods. Yes, the sinfully-delicious fried stuff. I even avoid durians as more than 2 pieces will also give me a sore throat. And at the slightest hint of soreness, I will gargle with Bactidol or Propolis, drink honey, take herbal supplements or drink detox teas. As a result of my defensiveness, my body has a very low tolerance for these sin foods now. If the frying oil is oxidized from too much reuse, my body would react. If the food is too salty, my mouth and tongue would get rough and irritated.

And so, on one faithful day, I went to Sky Cafe at SS2 with Apollo. We sat upstairs where most of the patrons were playing Monopoly, cards or Jenga. Quite a cozy place if not for the abundance of smokers. Anyway, I wanted to order Yam Chicken Fillet, but they had run out, so I chose Golden Beancurd with Spicy Salt. Alarm bells! Nad choice. It turned out to be ultra-fried beancurd pok. Like eating beancurd biscuits. And boy, did I pay for it. Every bite I took out of the beancurd, it took a bite out of me. Halfway through, my mouth was bleeding. The picture isn't very clear, but you might see blood on the napkin. Serves me right.
