Revenge Eating

Whenever I am recovering from a certain something - flu, fever or whatever, the first sign of recovery is the return of my appetite. I never say no to food and losing my appetite is something that rarely ever happens.

So this recent bout with flu was no different. When I was sick, even chocolate chip cookies looked so tasteless and unappealing. I couldn't stomach anything. Food was the last thing on my mind. Hah!

But as I got better..... the first thing I craved for was a burger. Of all things. And it had to the the Spiced Chicken Burger from Patissez. 

My stomach was doing a grrr...grrr...grrrr.... right from morning. In the office I impatiently waited for someone who was inspecting some records to clear off. Faster lah, bro! So slow lah this fella. Heh! 

Then I made my way to Patissez and placed my order. I remember these people serve water but they never gave me any though I mentioned it when ordering my burger. I know, I could have asked.

When my burger arrived, ah.....I took my first bite and it was bliss. Chomp...chomp....chomp... Once I was done, I attacked the fries. That was a great lunch. But.........

I experienced something shortly after that. A sudden drop in energy level and a crashing feeling of tiredness. It was awful. I don't know why. Too much carbs?

It stayed like that for a while and back in the office, I was feeling really sleepy. What an anti-climax. Punishment for overeating? Perhaps.

The next day, my appetite said adios again. Haiz...
