Meatless Monday..

My auditee's BOD recently approved "Meatless Monday", which is in line with its health awareness program for its employees.  Participating canteens are therefore required to prepare meatless menu for its clients every Monday.

Actually, the said program was launched on November 5.  I got my first taste of veggie meat when on that same morning, I decided to have breakfast at the canteen.  I was offered veggie longganiza.  Judging by its appearance and smell, I thought, it must taste good.

Before my mouth started to water, I picked the longganiza with gusto and savored it.  Much to my dismay, it is far from being delectable and, I must add, indescribable.  At that time, I experienced a flashback of my childhood days when my mother forced me to eat something that I extremely did not like and therefore, yucky!  I felt I was going to have a fever then.. :(

Don't get me wrong.  I have nothing against veggie meat.  In fact, I welcome the prospect of patronizing it in the future, for my health's sake.  But then, for now, my appetite is not yet ready to like it.  And I really mean, NOT YET.. ;)

unclean chowking food?! is this true?

this is really horrifying! i almost vomited when i read from the tabloid this morning that there is a complaint on the food served at chowking. i was munching something for my breakfast then (not chowking breakfast meal, i assure you) when the headline caught my attention. you could imagine the ordeal i went through while preventing myself from throwing up (sigh!).

going back to the subject, i don't usually read tabloids as the news they feature is most of the time exaggerated. but this article really bothers me! as a person who is always on the go and who has no time cooking my own food and who loves chinese cuisine, i eat at chowking almost every weekend. their yang chow rice topped with pork siomai is really yummy! (gosh!)

my concern now is, where am i going to take my lunch this weekend and thereafter? big problem...
