Noises,
noises everywhere. Metallic utensils’ clang, footsteps sounds, people talking, the
crunching of food, and so many other noises. Well, the Science fair sure is a
large exhibition. All around me I see people in diverse flamboyant polo tops.
Students from different provinces come here to attend the exhibition. Of course
when people come, they need food. I also need food. So here am I, sitting
boringly in the food court, with different noises.
At
first I’m not hungry. But now, the scent of the savory dishes’ chemicals fly
like birds through my nose, and into my chemoreceptors. My stomach grumbles
like an old grumpy grandpa. I couldn’t bear this torturing my stomach sends to
my brain, so I stand up, and walk to one of the food booths. The smell, the smell! Noodles with boiled meatballs and boiled-mouthwatering pork slices. It looks really delicious too. And there's Tom Yum Koong! Look at those prawns floating on the orange-looking soup. The other booth is some sort of Indian food. Even though I'm not a big fan of Indian food, but the scent of spices and chili strikes me badly.
Picking one of these foods is like the hardest decision in my life. I look up hungrily to one of the menus and gape. Fifty baht for one bowl of noodles! Are you kidding me!? So I glanced at the chef who's cooking the noodles and the assistant chef who's adding scallions and vegetables for the noodle bowl. But the appearance of the food sure does looks good. I hesitate, but still couldn't resist the smell! The smell of boiled pork slices makes my mouth water like some hungry drooling dog. Oh well, fifty baht for a nice bowl of noodle with boiled pork slices wouldn't kill me. So I order the noodle with boiled pork slices and soup. After for a while, the chef gives me the noodle and I pay him fifty baht.
I walk back to my seat, eager to taste the boiled pork slices. It seems like my salivary glands aren't working right. It seems to be producing so much saliva more than normal occasions. I sit down, and clean the spoon and fork (yes I eat noodles with spoon and fork) then dip it into the noodle bowl. Eager to satiate myself with the noodles, I stir the noodles to make the spices and scallions' taste mix with them. Then I taste the noodle and then proceed to the soup. The assertive taste of noodle and the soup's mellow aroma make me feel how lucky I am to sit here and eat it without having other worries. I quickly finish my noodle because the taste is so undeniably excellent. I would like to say that this, is the best meal I have in about one month! I smile gladly because it was the right decision to buy the noodle bowl after all!
