As easy as ABC (not)

After a week of excessive decadence in Shanghai (hope to find some time this weekend to sort photos and blog!) and another week of OT back here, I had some half-baked idea of having some form of detox, self-cleanse falala during lunch today. Well, not exactly detox detox, since I had a salt beef sandwich at Simply Sandwich. To be more precise, an overpriced (hey, student days ahead ok) concoction of too-dry beef with no vegetables! Granted they were generous with the beef and the server was super helpful, but still.

Anyway. After that uninspiring lunch, I decided that I could perk myself up a bit with an ABC. I normally refrain from ordering juices cos A. I worked at a juice bar before and I know how those cut fruits are prepared! B. Juices are always over-priced plus you are not really getting all the goodness! But since nobody back home is a fan of beetroot, I sort of feel justified ordering myself one.

So, there I was with Kinki at Amoy and asked the fruit store auntie for an ABC, to which she nodded readily and shouted brusquely to a helper. Good sign cos not all fruit stalls sell beetroot here. But oh noooo, the auntie must have an unorthodox ‘recipe’ cos the C in her stall’s ABC was CELERY!! It was such a vile vile vile vile vile blend! Seriously who drinks celery??? WTF?


Screw detox, I got a regular coke on my way back.
