Dinner Observations

We were food tasting, and I was surprised myself (and enlightened) how easily opinion is swayed by a person deemed an "expert". He happened to be a professional chef, and well informed at that. When he said "This is excellent!", my goodness did the praises start to flow. When he expressed his disappointment at some dishes, complaints started popping up. Curious.

Then we talked about Reverse Osmosis water, which he claimed was actually bad for health (since it apparently washes away all the minerals) and does not make your kidney's work at all (apparently, our internal organs need exercise, too). Ironically, there are others who claim that RO water isn't that "pure" as it is claimed. Opinions, opinions.

In a fancy, carpeted, air-conditioned Chinese restaurant at an unnamed hotel in KL (okay, it's the Concorde, muahaha!) I saw a waitress and a customer smoking unmolested. Nobody cares nowadays.
