off day on sunday

Yesterday evening, chef took me out and meat up with 2 of his friends and went jogging at a vary nice park. It was kinda far from the restaurant which took a 25 min drive to get there.

When we got there its 5.00pm and waited a while for his 2 buddies to come. Did a little warm up and so and started jogging. i am no match for those guys and got tyred after 15 min of jogging only haha ( i know I'm not fit at all and fat)

Lost them and i turn back to the car park and jog a little around there while waiting for them to come back. Sun went down at 5.30 and everything is dark and getting cold. For the 1st time in my life i did not even break a single sweat while jogging but end up my lips and ears were freezing cold, and yes it hurts.

After few minutes they got back and we went back to the restaurant to take a shower and all. Not long after that 6 of my chef friends came and we went out again for dinner. Every sunday we will go out for dinner but this time it was in a Chinese buffet restaurant.

Got in there, everything looks like a real chinese stall. all the staff were chinese as well (not bad), then chef told me 'Welcome home' haha, funny guy he is. There is this pretty chinese girl whom came up and great us (in french) 'potong stim', i swear to god i cant take my eyes off her. For god's sake, i did not see a chinese girl for so damn long since I'm in France and damn she is like a goddess then. 'what to do'

Ok enough with the chinese chick, got a table for 9, sat there talk a little then chef ordered these rosé wine. It was ok but i did not drank much not bad tough. God i was hungry at that time, did not eat anything since i woke up at 11.

Off to the buffet counter and time to munch! Buffet is buffet, eat all you can, so i took a little of this and a little of that trying each and every thing they have there. Not to say a big selection of dashes but its ok.

I'm a chinese and yes i know how chinese food taste like. Guess what, everything there is not even close to real chinese cooking. Ish, the only 2 things i find soso is the rosted duck and their plain white rice, thats all. even their fried rice suck! Imagine that.

So i told my self that i cant expect them to cook real chinese food because they are in France, so its ok. The funny part was even sushi was served there, "its a freaking chinese restaurant not japanese" oh well, french people don't know the difference anyway so its ok.

Took 3 plates of random food and 1 bowl of 'french-chinese' soup, feeling very full and yet still go for a bowl of ice-cream.

We all finished our meals, had a fun time there talking and making jokes 'as usual' then off we go to the cashier. The cashier was a mid-age chinese uncle, so i went up to him and said for one person in mandarin. He don't understand me, its ok fine this time i said in cantonese, he said some thing in french back to me.. I was like WTH, dude your are chinese and your don't speak your own mother language? what an embarrassment to chinese folks out there. Then i remembered the movie Rush Hour 3 when Chris Tucker slap a chinese guy for cursing him in french and Chris said ' stop humiliating yourself, your asian!'

Fine, i paid and get out with a big *sigh* i will not go into another chinese restaurant in France ever again. Real bad experience that was.

Got back to Pois Gourmand and all 9 of us went up to the tv room and watch a home video by my chef friends about the things they did in the old days. Basically they talk in french and i don't understand but all the time they were making jokes and acting like mokeys. one whole bunch of guys playing prank jokes on each other and so on.

Well it was funny to see them like that and i tough well, one day i will get a video cam and start recording stupid stuff me and my friends do and will have a good laughter when we look back at that video. haha
