$pending on food vs drinks

I sometimes come across some blogs of friends like KY & Sue Lynn & others, and they always be pigging out at some new restaurant. It soon got me thinking, “Fuckin hell, these guys check out aallll the restaurants! And order aallll da shit. How the heck do they afford it?”

KY the eating freak (pix stolen from his blog)

There’re restaurants real near where i live that these people have scoped and gang-raped multiple times, and i havent even been to them or heard of ’em! Real restaurant junkies.

I dont do such things. It would cost too much, but mainly coz food aint  a priority to me. I guess i got other priorities.

Its also a question of what in economics  is known as ‘opportunity cost’.

I normally wouldnt spend more than 10 bucks on a meal, but would probably spend 10 or 20 times more on a drink. So its normally with reluctance i would join some girlie ‘dinner with friends’ shit at some over-priced dump. Usually no choice coz its a birthday. (There’re quite a few people who feel d same but wont say it. Haha. Obligations.)

I eat out several times a day. So i spend more than enough on food as it is. And food dont contain alcohol, so whats the benefit of blowing 50 or 100 bucks on it? The same amount spent on booze, gets me high. But food is just shat out.

In fact, on certain lazy days, i feel like eating is a goddam chore.

Sue Lynn, who also drinks. A bit of a beerhead this one (pix from her blog)

Anyway, if seen over a month, i think i blow as much on booze as on all dat dam food, if not more. Not sure if its normal. I think its quite common.

But i think some of these people probably spend up to a grand a month on food, checkin out d new joints, or revisiting ol joints. Similarly, some guys would drink up to a grand or more of drinks.

Food is great n all, but it aint an obssession with me. I’m a moderate who always believes in moderation. Seriously!

Well, everybody got their vices. Theirs be food, mine be booze, among others.

Eating – that thing that occurs between drinking. Haha. Sumtin to add to my booze glossary.

Sid’s celebrates

Sid’s Neighbourhood Pubs threw a chilled n intoxicated afternoon party late June; to celebrate winning Best British Pub in Malaysia for an online competition by Telegraph.
It went on to challenge the world as the Best British Pub outside Britain and after a very closely-fought battle Sid’s Pub emerged as the most “Highly Commended British Pub” in the world. Which is kinda like second place. Congrats!

The lamb was awesome. So was d Guinness. It was hosted at Sid’s Kenny Hills, the candidate outlet.

(The winner was The Tudor Arms in Stockholm, Sweden.)

Sid’s is set to open a fourth outlet. Details soon.

Spotted…

A coupla pretty cool new mixers are in town. It’s for lazy butts, and also good to bring along to a house party. Or if u wanna have some fun on a lazy, chillin Saturday afternoon at home / poolside.

One is by Tabasco, those fuckers who burn mouths very well. It’s a pre-mix called Bloody Mary Mix. The one available here is labelled “Mildly Seasoned”. The other choice is “Extra Spicy”, which i havent seen yet. Price is $23.90 (946ml), spotted at Hock Lee’s in Damansara Heights, Jln Batai. It contains lime juice, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, extra thick concentrated tomato juice, Tabasco, horseradish and lemon juice.

Come n get it!

Tabasco hot pepper sauce has been a key ingredient in Bloody Marys since the cocktail’s creation in the early 1920′s.

Did u know that, like alcohol, Tabasco is aged for up to three years in oak barrels? Well now u know.

(Btw Tabasco now has a habanero mix. Habanero is that lil’ bastardo dat fried my face at Frontera. And cooked Henry’s brains to ‘well-done’.)

The other is by tequila boys Jose Cuervo, called Margarita Mix (Classic Lime). The one-liter bottle costs $26.90. The other one by Cuervo (not spotted yet) is Strawberry Lime.

I luv margaritas, especially frozen, strong ones. Makes me feel all tropical n shit, ideally sipped poolside or beachside. Coz tequilas can be enjoyed slow rather than slammed.

Sheeet, now i feel i shd bought d goddam mixer. Thirsty.

These are pretty much moron-proof mixers, so get your blenders out this weekend and get busy!
