2022/09 ― Raymond has a sweet spot for Asian food. He finds that eating is more of an experience than a necessity when the dishes are Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, hotpot, do-it-yourself rice paper wraps, sushi, dim sum, or gogi gui. Initially, he might forget his manners in the excitement by spinning the Lazy Susan table to bring his favorite dish in front of him, but he will redeem himself later on by refilling his friends’ cups from a shared teapot.
He would probably indulge even more often if the restaurants did not insist on lacing their dishes with monosodium glutamate (MSG).
