Perth part 5

Ahh yes, part 5. Unlike the previous entry, I actually bothered to check where I have left off. I know, the "part...something" was ridiculously lazy.

After the pho we had in Northbridge, we had to rush back to the hostel before the last bus leaves at around 6 p.m. because the bus drivers, like all Australians, want to "CATCH SOME FOOTIE ON TV, MAAAATE". Since I wasn't intending to "CATCH SOME FOOTIE ON TV, MAAAATE", I decided to try trashy food and Chicken Teat was perfect as it was just a footie kick away from the hostel.

However, that wasn't my first taste of trashy Australian fast food. In fact, it was on the second morning in Perth when I decided to wander around alone to Kardinya (10 minutes walk away, two if you're running because of how fucking cold it gets) which was a cluster of supermarkets, mom-and-pop grocery shops and eateries.

There was this fish and chips place which looked a little fishy mainly because of the huge plastic fish ornament on the wall but also the fact that there wasn't anyone else in there. Of course, I got an order of fish and chips and it was just so bland. I'm not sure if it was due to my taste buds' constant exposure to heavily-spiced food but I honestly couldn't taste anything in the fried fish at all. It was only after I've finished a slab of the fish before realising that I need to add the vinegar and salt myself and the vinegar was stored in one of these bottles.

And it was placed on a counter, beside a piece of wiping cloth. Can you really blame me for thinking logically and not wanting to drown my fish and chips in household chemical? So, it was quite a crap meal even though Emma Watson was the one serving me and it's not because about how all white people looking the same, she genuinely looked like that girl every paedophile would give a left nut to merely dream about. But because I'm not a sick bastard, it remained a lousy experience. Maybe the guys who commented in the post about Avery will like it more than I did.

Back to Chicken Teats, I bought a Double Decker set meal for around 10SGD and I felt like I ate the best chicken burger in my life. Probably because I had low expectations for Chicken Teats because really, chicken? The most boring and generic meat you can find?

But oh no, this one was so good that they covered it with a layer of cardboard so as to surprise me when I unwrap it. "Oh what's th―the famous Chicken Treats Double Decker burger! What a surprise! My dining experience will be quadrupled now!"

I think it was the cheese melting on the fried chicken fillets that really sold the burger for me. Then again, it's not like the Double Decker is the only burger that has this combination of ingredients but it just tasted so great and I'm not even sure why. This almost balances out the fact that Australians are so "CATCH SOME FOOTIE ON TV, MAAAATE".

Even this thing that Jules ordered was good, despite it looking really sad. Yes, I just called a toasted ciabatta sandwich "sad", I think it's because of how frowny it looks. At least it tasted good, unlike the guy who sat in the corner of classrooms who was sad and NOT delicious.

Obligatory totally out-of-the-left comment made, I think this entry's complete. Time to sleep but dammit, I think I have just tempted myself to prepare a nice supper for myself.

I tried everything! "Imagine a house", "I bet you are...", lowering her awareness, anchoring arousal onto her forehead, ABC or 123, "If you were an animal...", kiss or nibble, fight or flight, negging, cold reading, portrait drawing and even cartoon characters. But still, no, she wasn't interested.

So I made a rape on her.
