Day 27 - the unexpected indulgence

After work-out, I met up with some foodie friends (editors and bloggers) who organised a Hokkien-styled Chinese dinner in North Point.

I had planned to eat only the stewed fish and veggies and started off quite well despite the table full of delicious food.

Then came these innocent looking white buns. I sat whilst they all took a bite out of these buns and proclaimed it tasted heavenly. I could no longer resist, grabbed a bun and took my first bite. Inside was a beautiful piece of pork belly (read LARD!). On top of that, the fillings include a paste of peanuts and brown sugar (like a rudimentary peanut butter spread). It tasted out of this world, and I felt absolutely awful and guilty at the same time.

To wash down the fat, I also had a small glass of soju (the label read: Kobe Grappa Muscat!). See the blue bottle on the table.

I had planned on using my indulgence allowance on a heavy lunch or some wine and cheese, but blew it for the month on this mouthwatering meal, with the total per head coming to less than US$15 per person!
