Surprised by Lunch!

I seriously try not to eat at the fast foods places, but yesterday I was intrigued by the new fish sandwich. (Note I don't read characters well) The picture was fresh looking...lettuce, cucumber, fish...appetizing to one who had just finished shopping with her tired daughter. So, I ordered one.

My first bite was really good, fresh lettuce.

The second was a bit off. But, just ignored that.

The third almost killed my nose. The sauce on the sandwich was wasabi....

I like wasabi in small doses and when I'm expecting it. But, an unexpected dollop well, that is just not so great. I couldn't grab my Coke Zero fast enough....

Of course, Matthea got a good laugh at me with my watery eyes chugging down some relief.

So, lesson I've learned once again....always ask what exactly you are ordering before you eat it. Why can't I ever learn this one simple little lesson? (Or maybe I just need to restart language school again and refresh those long forgotten characters....)

Hint....I've done things like this many a times while living in Asia.

I couldn't find a picture of this sandwich, but thought you might like to see some other interesting food choices from the fast food chains here in Taiwan:

Yes, this is Kimchi on a rice bun....

Chicken Nuggets Sauces: Wasabi....

These are Egg Tarts....and I LOVE these little guys.

These are just a few, but you can always get the Asian flare at the fast food chains.

It is just a little reminder that even though I walk through the doors of an American fast food chain;

I'm still in Asia. Oh, and it just doesn't happen at the fast food chains....the restaurants, too!
