I strongly advise against going to Xiaohui Cold Noodles in the summer — the crowds only get worse, never better. Seriously, don’t go.
Last time, maybe I was lucky and didn’t have to wait too long, but this time I ended up waiting for over an hour. The sun was blazing, and I was drenched in sweat. To make things worse, the people ahead of me in line were placing huge take-out orders. Ruthless!
Most people were there for take-out; only a few were dining in.
Once again, I couldn't resist the temptation and ordered the large portion of cold noodles. I had debated the whole time in line whether I should just go for the small one and get an extra bowl of soup instead. But when it was finally my turn, I instinctively blurted out “large portion,” and it was too late to backtrack.
When the food arrived, I gave myself a little pat, a bit of encouragement — “You can do this.” It’s just lunch and dinner combined, right? Just a massive carb and calorie bomb, right? As long as it’s satisfying, that’s all that matters.
I cleaned the plate completely.
So full, I could feel it in my skull.
