Day Six: Hot Hot Ow

Posted by Logan
 
My day began with a different Korean treat. This one turned out to be a chocolate-covered cookies-and-cream ice cream bar, which at 80c has got to be the best buy I've made this week.



The latest in my series of teas (which I'm beginning to regret) is a Formosa Oolong. It was extremely similar to regular tea.









Speaking of regrets, for lunch I had Beef Vindaloo. Seeing it there beside the other Indian options at the food court servery, I wondered why I had never tried it before.
My first bite sounded a minor alarm in my head, but my second confirmed it; I had not eaten Vindaloo before because it was extremely spicy. My eyes watered, my throat ached, and my eyes darted around for some way to relieve the pain.
I scoured the cafe menu for a drink... but it had to be a drink I had never goddamn had before. I chose a Dutch coffee, extra milk. Fortunately it came with a minaret of whipped cream which I shovelled into my mouth with a breadknife. Ah, blessed relief.
I then finished the Vindaloo, as no food gets the better of me. Not this week.

These are... peas?
They're covered in... yoghurt?
They're from... China?

One flavour masked another. A most mysterious dish.





Lebanese bread. Actually quite a lot of it.








A surprisingly delicious non-alcoholic beer that tastes of apples.
