Carb overload

April 6th, 2009

Am in the Hong Kong office – where we just had lunch in house for one of the staff member’s birthday.

Would you be surprised to hear that we had… wait for it…. Chinese..

The interesting thing was – of the 10 or so dishes on the table – pretty much all of them were heavily rice or noodle based.. (Different to my usual expectation of a Chinese meal – order a few meat  or vege based dishes – and have rice / noodles as the accompaniment.) It was quite nice – but a bit of carb overload if you ask me.

My Cantonese is somewhere between lousy and non-existant.. I used all my A-material over lunch today.. Am going to have to learn some more..
