A co-worker and close friend of mine and I went to lunch yesterday at our favorite Thai restaurant.\u00a0 We go there several time a month and over the years I have found a few menu items that I really like.<\/p>\n
My favorites are Pad Thai, Gang Gui and Pad Talay.\u00a0 Pad Thai has a lot of fresh bean spouts and noodles where as Gang Gui and Pad Talay have a basil coconut curry sauce.\u00a0 Yum!<\/p>\n
Well, yesterday, I ordered chicken satay, which are chicken strips on a wooden stick.\u00a0 This really surprised the waitress as I have never ordered it before.\u00a0 My friend, who is Chinese, explained to the waitress that I try to eat low carb foods and she did so in Chinese.<\/p>\n
So the conversation between the two of them consisted of a lot of sounds that I couldn’t understand with the\u00a0 occasional “starch” thrown in.\u00a0 In the end, the two women concluded that in the future, I needed to order number 4.<\/p>\n
The waitress turned to me and said “number 4.\u00a0 Very good for you.\u00a0 Lots vegetables.\u00a0 No starch.\u00a0 No oil.”<\/p>\n
Well, I guess next time, I will have to give number 4 a try.\u00a0 If I don’t, I am sure that I will get concerned looks from both of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
