Sakura Nan...cough cough! (damn spicy siah)

Everybody loves a good sequel. Especially if it involves makan. So today the Primary Science team enjoyed a company lunch again, this time with the good folks of Pre-Press. Sakura Nana Thai restaurant in Eunos, was the venue of thanks-giving for the recent fortuitous submission to the 'Gahmen' Education peeps. [Xxxtra knowledge: Sakura Nana also happens to be the name (not sure if real) of a rather famous Japanese adult AV star too]. Don't ask me how I know.

So spicy was the food, particularly and rather obviously - the tom yum soup (Shioh Shioh!, Hokkien for 'Hot Hot!'), that our salivary and sweat glands started working overtime and many a Orange drank the lime juice, like it was going out of fashion. But the tom yum turned out to be the only thing Thai about the menu. They didn't even have a dessert as synonymous with Thai food like red ruby sago, which we requested, to quell the hot fires emanating from our palates after all that fish head curry, sambal kangkong, claypot curry prawns... I think that all of us who ate can become chilli farmers after today, or even audition for next season's Singapore Idol, as the Spice girls/guys/girlguy. Heheh...

The bill for our two tables amounted to a whopping $340 dollars. But since the Orange is paying for it, what the heck anyway? So hooray for free lunches. No such thing. Remember the fairytale of Hansel and Gretel?

What a spread!... of mostly non Thai food. Makan-able nonetheless. :D

AAR: "Wahhh, the fish eyeball from the curry fish head was the best, man!"
Notice the shock, quell horreur expression on
RC's face. Reminds me of a line from the movie, The Corrupter. There's this one scene where Chow Yun Fatt says to Mark Wahlberg, as he's slurping up his pig intestines noodles, "You wanna be Asian, yah gotta eat the nasty stuff." Haha, one man's delicacy is another's barf stuff.


Ah, what a happy family! :)
