You know when you go to a restaurant, really sure you want that bowl of noodles, the one with the soy sauce and shredded chicken on top....with spring onions and chopped chillies? You're so looking forward to it. You can taste it.
Then you get there and the waiter slaps a menu in front of you. You happily flip the cover open and low and behold....27 different kinds of noodles! What are they trying to do to you? You scroll up and down the cheap quality paper with pointless squiggly designs all over it....and you try to stay focused on that bowl of noodles you'd been craving for. But along the way...there's 'curried wan ton noodles', 'stir-fried kueh tiow', 'blackened glass noodles'.....what in the world are you supposed to do now?!
You toss between sticking to what you initially came in for, or foregoing that very yummy looking stir-fried noodle thingy....oh jeez....
What if you forever regretted not sampling the 'house specialty'? What if you missed out on the 'Asam laksa original from Penang'?
In situations like these....maybe it's best if you just had... fried rice.
