It has been a really stressed-out busy Monday – yup, busy chasing all my debtors (pay up you idiots!).
On days like this, I can’t help thinking about how much money I’ve been spending. I’ve just devised a new expenditure plan, which involves pre-designated envelopes for each expenses (i.e groceries, bills, diapers, savings, etc)
Parenting means learning to be thrifty – sacrificing some of the luxuries we used to have– like fancy dinners and Clinique products – and start getting used to that RM10 haircut, switching to Bata shoes and humbly accepting hand-me-downs.
Having said that I had a bad day ( I had to go all the way to Autocity BCB to bank in cheque for a supplier), I figured I would justify the unnecessarily long commute by having lunch at Secret Recipe over there. Secret Recipe is a little bit pricey for me nowadays, but what the heck, I have to eat anyway, right? It has been a while since I last had their Tom Yum Kung, which I consider one of the best tomyam I ever tasted.
Although I had some bad experience before this at the Autocity outlet involving their western dishes and the bad cheese cake which I vowed never to touch ever again, I longingly waited for my tomyam. While waiting, I was a tad worried that all the spices might be a lil hard for Nunu's tummy. But I remembered Tok's word that before having any food that is too harsh for the milky, I should niat so that the food wont be harmful and cross my boobs. So I did (discreetly - some people might raise an eyebrow if they saw this!) once it arrived, I took a moment to smell the aroma – then I tucked in.
I don’t know what the hell is wrong with this outlet but the tomyam I had was a far cry from the ones I had before (at the other branches). I was too sour, insufficiently spicy – very unbalanced. Entahlah, it was simply and disappointingly horrible. I didn’t want to finish the dish, but it costs fourteen bux so I had to lap it up. Could have my tastebuds changed after pregnancy? Or should I give up on SR altogether?
If this is the price of extravagance, I’d rather stick to my RM3 nasi bungkus. I rela. Huhuhu.

Oi spam!! Get out! Shoooo....!!
On another note, don't know about the Secret Recipe over there, but here it's ok. I wouldn't know. The only time I've been there I got cranky, as usual.
Hmmm .... first time I've read somebody crossing their boobs. Hope you did the "x-type of cross" and not the "t-type"! *gulp* :S
Hehehhe... sapa2 nak degree segera boleh la! Hampeh la spam ni! How to get rid?
