I Don't Eat Like This Anymore

These solo lunches at Mr Tuk Tuk happened quite some time ago. I used to eat the set meals but I decided to try ordering individual dishes from the menu. Since I am alone, obviously I cannot order too much.

One of the dishes that I love is their Black Pepper Beef. It's unlike the black pepper beef that you get from Chinese restaurants as this one has a very exotic flavor. 

I had it the first time when dining here with my brother and parents. Since there were 4 of us, obviously we could each only taste a little bit of the dish. 

So here I am getting to enjoy it to the max all by myself. Greedy me.

I must have some vegetables with my meal, so what better to complement the beef than the Mango Salad.

Is that too much for one person? No. Not for me. It was just right (at the time). I thought to myself, the next time I come here, I'll transfer the beef and salad onto my plate.

Bah! The next time I came over, they gave me this dinky plate. There is not much space to do what I had in mind.

This time, I had the Som Tam (papaya salad). 

That, I tell you, was a very good meal. Washed down with iced water.

I'd rather eat my calories rather than drink them. And you know what? Two hours later I was hungry again. Haiks! Was it due to the papaya enzymes breaking down my meal?

When I got home, I finished up my entire stash of cookies (it was just half a canister, so chill out). And that was how I regained my weight :(
