Chicken Skin

I have 'weird' eating habits.

Of cos most people have some peculiar eating habits(one friend only eats 'neat' food such as chicken rice; char kway teow is too 'messy'...another doesn't eat anything with wings - that rules out chicken, duck, pigeon, etc) but it seems like mine is fussier than most..

Growing up in an environment with 'just-as-fussy' eaters, i didn't realise i was so particular with food..and i don't just mean the type of food..nothing too spicy..deep frieds are a no-no..and of cos the fact that i dun take any mushrooms is rather legendary..

What I'm more fussy about(than most people)is that i like my food prepared fresh n served hot..'who doesn't?' you might ask..well, i figured it's THE reason why i always prefer eating noodles, rather than rice(ie.菜饭), especially for dinner..since noodles dishes are almost guaranteed to be prepared upon order..tze char being exception cos they're 'fresh' in a way..

Just as i was typing out the above paragraphs..a watsapp msg came in - 'drinking cappucino now, got it for free' and it suddenly dawned upon me that the one person who accomodated/tolerated my eating habits most..is the person that i spent the most and yet, least time with...

In fact, the very first meal we had together eons ago..she asked 'you don't take chicken skin right?' and proceeded to pick out a skinless piece for me..what was so impressive was that our main form of communication prior to the meal was through icq(oh my..sounds so antique!) and it was just a passing comment that i don't take skin(u know.. the sort of rubbish we say on online chat)

I guess that was the moment when i knew i'm gonna keep this friend for life..
