It was one of those times when u see a food joint in a chic mall and probably just walk past , thinking its too expensive. With me it was this and also that the only thing on its menu was something that I had only heard of till then .. Sushi !
I had promised myself the year before while limping my way thru a mall in Bangkok .. 'will never think of a mall as an object of passing time' .. I had stuck to my promise for a year. (shopping if enjoyed can act as a anaesthesia) for me however malls are associated with immense mental patience(with a woman) and physical pain (walking aimlessly). However that day I cudnt hold up to the 35Deg in Colombo. My Shirt needed to be taken off my back .. so Odel(the most upmarket mall in town) was it.
As i strolled directionless thru the mall and passed the Sushi Bar for enuf number of times to notice the interior the number of people working there. I felt a similar pain in my legs .. I dont clearly remember but as it was the heat that took me in the mall ,it was the pain that prompted me to enter the Sushi joint on my 5th Passage.
Japanese written in english was still latin to me. I was never so confused in a food place ..how can u eat raw fish i thot !! considering that this was my first real stint at food out of India ,i gave myself some credit and settled down.
When totally confused in a restaurant .. leave it on the guy who takes ur orders. Let him decide ! Just tell him how much do u have to spend and let the ball roll. in less then $ 3 i had my first attempt at Sushi in the summer of 2003.
I read somewhere .. good food gives u a kick that can b only bettered by an orgasm. that day it seemed like with another $10 more I wud get an orgasm in Colombo !
