What made tonight even more special was that I was joined by Tigger, the person responsible for my punishment this week. He happened to be close by and I thought it would be only fitting that he witnessed the last meal.

MRE Week day 7: chicken pesto pasta
Pin It
So here we are on the last night of MRE Week, and I've saved the best for last. My final dinner is the "official" military version, which came in different packaging with the Seal of the Department of Defense. The wording on the package also prompted a friend of mine to make fun of me by calling me a "warfighter"...

MRE Week day 6: southwest style beef
Pin It
Day 6. Almost done. Lunch today was relatively heavy, as I regretted taking a desert which turned out to be gigantic. Thankfully the Pu'er tea (普洱茶) my friend shared with me after lunch helped the digestion a little.
The package today contained the following items:

MRE Week day 5: sloppy joe

TGIF!!!! Back in my school days, the cafeteria used to serve up something special on Fridays... and sloppy joes were definitely a crowd favorite. So it only seems appropriate that this is the menu I chose for tonight.
Opening up the package reveals the following items:

Artsy nibbles

Many of my friends know that I am loathe to try out any new restaurants, simply because most (if not all) restaurants never have everything down pat when they open. I also generally do not accept invitations from restaurant PRs for those "media/blogger" meals, because of the reason I just mentioned, and also because I'm pretty picky about where I wanna eat. Yes, you're inviting me for a free meal, but if I don't think the food is any good... there's no point in taking in calories from crappy food - especially when I'm supposed to be cutting down intake. OK, so I'm a food snob. I didn't get the moniker of Arrogant Prick for nothing, ya know...
Having said all that, I ended up dining at the invitation of a club today. Duddell's, to be exact. This place opened up with some fanfare a while ago, and apparently was quite the place to be during Art Basel Hong Kong. A fellow foodie friend had been asked to invite a few people to try the place at lunch, and since Paulo's a friend I asked him if he thought their food was good enough at this stage. When he replied in the positive, I figured it would be safe to give it a try.
We ended up being seated indoors on the upper level, as the rain had just suddenly come down while I was en route to lunch, killing the original plans to seat us on the outdoor terrace. While the seating was comfortable, there was a distinct deficiency in terms of lighting. It probably didn't bothered anyone else, though...
The menu was all pre-arranged so we just sat back and waited for the food to arrive... although it did take some time for the first nibbles to appear in front of us...
We were presented with what must have been the 5-piece dim sum combination. Today we had:

MRE Week day 4: chili and macaroni
Pin It
In some respects, day 4 was doomed from the start. I had a HUGE salad at lunch, and couldn't even finish the damn thing. What's worse was that I had loaded it up with broccoli, cauliflower, corn and mushrooms... and some of those things are hard to digest! I also had a very late cup of latte about an hour and a half before dinner, so I wasn't feeling the least bit hungry when I started to open the package for tonight...
