Oh my! My stomach hasn't stopped growling (and not because I'm hungry) and I just had a piece!
I went to meet up with an old friend who I haven't seen in ages last night. We decided to have dinner at Madam Kwan Pavilion. As I was busy talking to Yvonne, Bo made the order.. Fish Head Curry, Sambal Prawn with Petai and Mixed Vegetable... Not exactly a balanced diet but that's how simple he is.
Anyway, when they tasted the petai, everyone was saying how delicious it was. I was tempted to try.. Mind you, I have never tasted petai in my whole entire life.. I can't even stand the smell! Before I know it, I was scooping a spoonful of Petai onto my plate. I took one, and when the taste registered, I had to literally swallow it with lots of water! And I think that lots of water made me full, I didn't enjoy the rest of my food...
But, of course I enjoyed the evening. Talking and catching up on old time. We realized how many things and people have changed. If it's not for Bo calling it an early night, we would have stayed on for dessert.. just like old times!
Oh... on the way home last night, Bo told me that those petai will give me gas and I'd be passing gas more often. A fact that he failed to tell me before I put them on my plate and in my mouth! True enough.. I am still feeling bloated! I am never touching petai again in my entire life!

I just had that for lunch today, sambal prawns petai, but I didn't touch the petai, never liked petais anyway.
For my gas, I rely on old school beer. Hahahaha!
the dish looks tempting(like hell!!!) for me too...though there's petai there, and like you I don't eat petai.
Just curious though, how's the petai taste? Kelat2 is it? How's the smell? Pity you had to gulp down plenty of water to wash the taste down..
ive only tasted petai twice and boy u are right about the gas and the after math of eating it... bau gila!
but i like petai provided that it is correctly cooked lah.
Dan - Lol! I know what you mean, beer is nicer and after effect is better!
Dee - The petai is kelat2 and bitter! OMG! I can't even explain it properly.. It has that lingering smell & taste in the mouth.. I am never touching it again ever! hehehe
Carol - I salute you can take petai.. Bo likes it for the aftermath la.. gila kan? He can even eat them raw.. Saya yang pengsan! He said you can get rid of the smell by eating beras..
