Chicken wings
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Well, as usual my family and my aunt’s family went out for dinner on Sat. Where this time? heheehehe….We had steamboat…and to those who know this place, sure you’ll know why i use "chicken wings" as my title today 
i do have smth interesting to share….
What’s the relationship between having steamboat and chicken wings here? I know, both are food…… Well, its a buffet style steamboat where customers actually take seafood and ingredients as much as they like frm the serving table to be dump in the hot soup. Well, you know lar, msians….always having that kind of thinking :hmm, i better take more, afterwards no more ald how? or …
aiy, very lazy lar, take banyak-banyak now then dont need to go so many rounds or ….
wah, this very nice….this also very nice….that also very nice…aiy just take all lar….
understand right?….hmm, in short, got a bit of ‘kiasu’ element lar….
OK well, the highlight isnt on the kiasu people. So,BEsides serving steamboat seafood, the restaurant actually does also serve beehoon, friedrice, chicken rendang, desserts, fruits and so on…. the things is: periodically, there will be a bunch of people surrounding this forever empty silver tray…EVERYBODY IS EYING ON SMTH… ANTICIPATING SMTH…I CAN SEE HUNGRY EYES…ANXIOUSLY WAITING..HOLDING TIGHT ON THEIR PLATES…EYES ON THE KITCHEN DOOR…AND (ten ten ten ten : the surprise music) THE LADY IS OUT!!!!!!! ….FULLY EQUIPED, evrybody gets ready to be invoLved in a 30 seconds battle…CHICKEN WINGS!!!!!! CHARGE!!!!! GRAB IT!!!!! ….get lost!!!…you’re BLOCKING ME….
HAHAHAHAHA….at that very moment, the whole restaurants’ focus was solely on the bunch of "chicken wing hunters"… there were clappings and sounds of whistlling… GOSH, can you imagine the degree of craving for a chicken wing is that terrible???!!!hahahhahahahahaha….cant help it, i just couldnt stop laughing…my bro and cousin were our "army" for the "battle"…they came back to the table with marks and scrathes everywhere…no lar, not that bad lar…its lines of chicken gravy and oil, splattered on their hand.
Aiyo, can you imagine having a chicken wing countdown session? just couldnt believe it….somemore, hey! there are other food on the table, you treat it as though they were not there!!!…ohwell, honestly, the chicken was nice, its well baked…but yet, me and teng analysed smth…maybe it wasnt because of the chicken wing that makes evrybody jump for it, maybe its because of the limited amount they serveout everytime..its the fun and thrill of grabbing and battling with others to get the wings…its the anticipation…its the victory that counts….huh, god knows why…
Its interesting having dinner there…you’ll see the makan semangat we people have and you’ll be so amazed. The table members will give some sort of "strategy" to their "army" like which is the strategic location to stand so that you can grab faster or when to start waiting near the table or teach them to get the chicken wing "giap" so that others dun have the equipment to fight with you or whatvever lar…. aiyo, so funny…hey, somemore to make battling for the wings worth it, there were cheering for those who won ok….
It was fast, shorter than 30 seconds maybe. You’ll see so many expressions while they were battling…you’ll see pride and smiles on faces of those who manage to grab the whole lot of wings, you’ll also see those dissapointed looks on those who are left behind and again watching over the empty silver tray … oh, forgot to mention, the "army" who went were mostly guys, so does this imply anything? its up to you to conclude…
Actually, to me, maybe this could just indirectly lead to excessive wastage…wwhy? you see, when someone fails to achieve what they want at first, they’ll swear to themselves to get more the next time. So, ending up everybody grabbing more chicken wings than they actually wanted….will this happen??? hmm, what do you think?
