Ma La Mistake

Alright guys, let the holidays officially begin! I know time flies when you're having fun—like, blink-and-it’s-Monday kind of fast—so I'm gonna treasure every second like it's the last piece of fried chicken at a family dinner.

So right now, I'm absolutely stuffed. Why? Because I just finished demolishing my dinner. I pre-ordered it through GrabFood (because why cook when your phone can do the work?), and of course, it was from my all-time spicy love: Si Chuan Chef.

But plot twist! Instead of my usual soulmate—dumplings—I decided to cheat a little and try their new fling: Ma La Tang. It's basically a hot soup with veggies and meat swimming around in fiery lava. And oh boy... the first bite? My lips went numb faster than my brain does on Monday mornings.

Now let’s talk portions—there was a lot. Like, enough to feed me and my imaginary pet panda. But here’s the kicker: the "meat" portion was... two lonely slices of luncheon meat. That's it. The rest? A forest of vegetables. I felt like a betrayed carnivore. So yeah, first and last time ordering Ma La Tang. I'm running back into the arms of my dumplings next time—at least they don’t lie to me.

And now, as tradition goes, post-dinner me is experiencing food coma level 99. I’m typing this with my eyelids doing the wave and my brain halfway to dreamland.

Also, random update: my right index finger is in pain. I tried carrying something heavy like I’m some sort of gym hero, and I think it smacked my nail. Now whenever I press on it, it hurts—but just enough to make me whine about it.

Anyway, that’s all, folks. I’m officially logging off and surrendering to sleep. No alarms tomorrow, just sweet, uninterrupted slumber. If you’re on holiday too—cheers! Enjoy every second and may your food not betray you like mine did.
