Ma La Huo Guo...

After rehearsal,Lulu and Jiayi parted with me as I am going to Chinatown to eat the [Chong Qing Ma La Huo Guo] with Lao Ba,GuangJie,LiJia and YuLing.Each person cost $20.This is the most expensive buffet I ever paid.Never mind,hope I will enjoy it.
Went into the shop and got settle down at a round table and wait for the soup to boil.Meanwhile,we went to take the raw food from the shelves.
Once the soup boils,we start to throw the raw food in.It is really quite alot.Food goes out of soup and new raw one goes in.This procedure repeats itself for quite some time before GuangJie asked the boss,"Boss ah,do you want 2 sausage?",pointing at my lips.It is really swollen without my notice when I face myself to the mirror,quite shock about it.Never know this kind of hot and spicy can do this to my dear lips.Always thought that only seafood can do that.
The spice was really terrible,keep eating chilli seeds and pepper seeds.GuangJie ordered a cup of sugarless soya bean for me,saying that it can clear the spice in my mouth.
I still can't take the spice so we all together go outside to the shop to smoke.It is really a long time since I last smoke,after I last promise *someone* not to smoke last year. :) But the taste still would left.We continue at the table to eat.Until all of us reach our maximum,we stop to pay the bill but Lao Ba insisted he foot the whole bill.
After that,others went home in Lao Ba's car while I am looking for a bus to take home.It was 12.15am then,hope that there is 166 or 851 in front of Pearl's Centre.But the outcome is no.I think when I was about to reach the busstop,the last 166 just left.Then I blindly look for NR1 busstop.Walked all the way from Pearl's Centre to Raffles City,where I confirm there is no NR in operation and there is no other way to get home other then taxi.I quickly flag a City Cab who is turning into my direction.I remembered last time taht I took a cheap cab home,not sure if this is the right company taxi.
Got home at 2.15am.the cabfare was $13.35 after mid-night charge.I think the right cab to take was Yellow-Top.Have to take note about it in the future.Stomach was still burning CAN!
