C) Of Gluttony and Chicken Wings

3 weeks overdue.

It was on the 30th of October at around 2pm that I received a sms from Kin Mun asking whether I would like to join some of them for dinner at Yuen Steamboat. I agreed. So at about 6 something i left to sunway pyramid where i was picked up by Donovan and headed to Yuen's. Yuen Steamboat is one of the more popular steamboat restaurants in Subang. With 3 floors and a wide array of food to choose from, its any food lovers dream. Not to forget the much sort after chicken wings, but more about that later.

It turned out that Jason had brought the whole matriculation gang together with their friends from Penang to Sunway for a holiday break, so we occupied 2 tables. We in our Franciscan spirit occupied one table while the other occupied the other. And thus the feast began.



As the minutes turned to hours, the number of plates increased steadily. Everyone let out their inner glutton on that day as we devourer plate after plate of seafood and meat. However the only drawback to steamboats is that we have to wait for the food to cook, which brings me to the topic of the chicken wings.

The chicken wings was the only ready-to-eat food available. So naturally it was in high demand. If you don't move fast, you don't eat. We then realised that if we wanted to get the wings we had to fight, to participate in the great Battle for the Chicken Wings. It was war.

5 things to do to win in the Battle for Chicken Wings
1) Keep track of the status of the tray containing the wings at all times.
2) When the lady takes the tray into the kitchen, you know that the time has come. Get ready.
3) Send a contender from your table, armed with plates and a tong.
4) Patiently wait for the tray(now filled with chicken wings) to arrive.
5) Use your tong to ward away enemy tongs while you use your plate to scoop up the chicken wings.

And you have just successfully participated in the Battle for Chicken Wings and emerged victorious!

We stayed on eating until 11pm until we finally left with a full tummy, content.
