Ying's heart sank a little as she obediently binned her pasta. She did consider asking Aisling if she would like to have it but it seemed Aisling had already decided what to eat, a smile on her face evident as she carried her tray of fried chicken with mashed potatoes, hot tea and cookies. Food wastage was something she was not inclined to make a habit of, but Ying made a solemn promise to herself not to repeat the same mistake ever again. And to think those mussels and shrimps had sacrificed their lives...

Ying cleared her thoughts away and fumbled a bit with each button before she finally pressed on a new icon more confidently. There, she finally got her chicken burger. She decided against pressing for a cup of hot latte seeing that she already had a cup of iced lemon tea from earlier. [i]No matter, there's always next time to try new food and beverages[/i], she thought.

She dug into her dinner and gasped in surprise. Her burger...how fascinating with those slabs of nicely seasoned two all-chicken patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun! Her iced drink was also equally yummy, making for a refreshing beverage to wash her food down. Ying had never felt this satisfied from a meal after so long. Family dinner used to be a simple fare, of plain white rice, some stir-fried vegetables and braised meat. Only on special occasions, such as celebrating the annual Harvest Festival or the Lunar New Year, would she be able to enjoy more exotic delicacies prepared using various cooking techniques reserved only for such merry affairs.

"Wow, dinner was...perfect." She commented after having finished the remaining of her drink. She binned her trash and placed her tray back at where it belonged. Patting her full tummy, she grinned at Runiaka and Aisling. "Well ladies, I am ready for whatever that is ahead of us."
