Expensive Monday
It was a productive monday for me actually.. i beat the morning traffic, head to the west for an early morning meeting. Headed to great world city after tat to get some sch work done. It was nice cos i focused for 6 hours straight, got half my to-do list checked.
while i decided to give myself a nice treat for my very late lunc, i was on vegetarian diet yesterday. i headed to the new gourmet shop by Da Paolo..
i grabbed 1 stuffed portobello mushroom, 150g of grilled zucchinis and a box of green salad. the cost came up to be
25 bucks!cost breakdown: 150g grilled zucchini is $4. green salad is $6.
stuffed portobello is $15!!
it was tagged $5.50/100g.. who would thought a mushroom can weigh almost 300g.. so there, my pocket got a 1st degree burn.. thing is the mushroom aint' even fantastic. i thought the fresh mushroom w/ mozzarella that i make was much much better.. sob sob...
to make my $25 bucks worthy, i took some nice pics outta them. hahaa...
so what to do? i couldn't even bring myself to finish the food. i dumped half away. end up dinner dad packed teochew porrige for me and i thought tat was soooooo superb! There was bittergourd with egg, fish cake and spicy stingray.. Prolly cost only $6 bucks? Hahaa.. who says cheap food ain't good?
