Vegetarian’s Nightmare

This is the last food post for today. This is a large BBQ combination, featuring roast pork, barbecue pork, herbed chicken and roast duck.

Breakfast

This is my current favourite breakfast: a $3 box of fried rice from a bakery at the bus station. It’s nothing amazing, but is surprisingly tasty. I’m completely addicted. Non-asian people who know me well have learned not to be surprised or grossed out by my choice of things to eat for breakfast. This is […]
