The Bowl of Ramen

It's funny how things screw up sometimes and then we find them irresistibly funny

This happened... few minutes ago.

Because my every day is a special day, I decided to make today extra special by having a bang lunch with myself. With 'bang' I mean something I don't usually do.

And so, with my white t-shirt on which has a silly robot print that says 'Malalim Mag-isip' or I think Deep that I bought in Artwork, I gracefully danced my way to the nearest mall. I bought Carrot shake and walked away right after I pay. After sipping half of the shake, I realized that they gave me Pineapple flavor. S**t~ !

That was a pretty lame scam, and I'm not taking any reasons into consideration since I'm the only customer around.

But today's an extra special day so never mind.

I was wondering what to eat for lunch, and then I saw this Japanese restaurant I often pass by. I went inside and look for the counter and I ended up standing in the kitchen. Okay, so first fact: There's no counter. 

A waitress came to me and told me that I can order in the table, and the cooks looked at me and smiled.

Okay, so that was embarrassing. But at some point, it's not. What's wrong with showing the public we're at times stupid anyway? 

"Since I'm here already, I'll just make my order" 

I told the waitress. I ordered ramen, and they asked if I want Beef or Sea Food ramen. I chose Sea Food.

5.. minutes later

I sat in a table in awe looking at the bowl of Sea Food ramen in front of me. I asked myself, 'What the heck did I just order?' 

It's like a pool of different species, an earth with different races, a galaxy with different planets.. served in a single rounded bowl. 

But I can't simply run away from something I paid with a healthy sum of money. 

I started eating the 'species' on the bowl and I was wondering what kind of stomach other people have. All 'species' were disfigured. 

I can't help but think the ocean monster cook it themselves, cutting their extra parts for ingredients and sneezing on it to add flavors. And while eating, I can feel their stare while rubbing their hands, if they have or whatever that they have. They're waiting for the time I will choke, and if I do they will all burst into a 'HURRAY' and party themselves. 

When I finished, I feel like I won the presidential election.

Haha Interesting idea. Yeah, I've done this before. There is a favorite restaurant of mine locally, and whenever I go there I tend to order pretty much the same thing. One night I went nuts and ordered something totally "different"...lets just say that I was...not impressed. By the food, not your writing, I was totally entertained by that!

I think this teaches us to 'never experiment in ordering foods unless we have extra pennies to buy the real ones' hahaha

I don't know. I don't like food that looked back at me. A very interesting tale in the story. I like the way you led the reader to the surprise ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent story.
