Chapter 16

"Mexican"

"Italian"

"Indian"

No we aren't playing atlas here.

This argument is only to decide what we are supposed to have for dinner today.

Although being in China, Chinese is a big no no.

Because she finds Chinese food in China very bland.

"I prefer Indian version of Manchurian and chicken lollypop." Her words

She continued "again though I am thorough non- vegetarian I have strong phobia that people in China prefer cockroaches and crabs as their main course. No I'll stick to burgers and pizza even margarita pizza works fine with me."

I know why she has that phobia

My very friendly Sia happened to befriend a local Chinese staff at the apartments we were currently staying in and she recommended her with very nice and amazing diner' as quoted by the girl from the staff.

So excited Sia put on her printed gown and yes to complete the look she also added two sticks on her bun

"Feel like a Chinese too" she winked as she whirled around to display her Indochinese self.

I simply bowed at her like two karate fighters bow before their fight.

Don't blame me!

That's the only Chinese thing I know

All grace to Jackie Chan's movies my dad would watch like marathon when I was young.

Can't blame a guy to enjoy watching some action.

Sia was so excited on our way to tehdiner. She gushed at the neat and clean streets of the cities and enjoyed the tall buildings everywhere illuminated with colorful lights and setting the example of modern complex and attractive architecture.

She inhaled the breath of cool fresh air whne our cab passed the lines of Pearl river, her eyes twinkling stating that she was enjoying being a tourist

So when we reached there we realized that the diner was in the interior of a city, the buildings around did not look modern rather had an ancient touch to it. Red chinese lanterns were lit at the entrance of the houses.

The diner we were suggested wasn't a fancy one but was till crowded suggesting that people indeed enjoyed the food here.

Our hopes lit up as we were helped to one of the mepty tables.

Immediately after being seated we were served local tea for free.

I stress on the free part because it was just nothing like our tea and Sia almost spilled the tea out of her mouth and while we waited to place our orders, she happened to notice the local people in our next table enjoying their dinner.

Yes there is nothing wrong in people having dinner

It was the delicacy they were eating.

Two young almost college going dug their forks into live, I mean alive cockroaches, dipped them into some reddish black looking dip and gulped it in their mouth.

Sia almost shrieked and rushed out of the diner.

"That was hilarious," I mocked.

She made an eww! face still shuddering at the memory "that wasn't hilarious. Come on I do not mean to offend eating habits of any society but really live cockroaches." She almost sprinted towards the cab.
