Having partaken of the new-year's jook -- a tradition started by Nick of Chubby Noodle -- this blogger is heading off to Chinatown for a hot cup of milk-tea and a pastry. After which I shall head over to the Occidental for some very minor jubilation. Though I am armed with three briars and a plentifull quantity of aged Virginia tobacco, it will be a short jaunt. There is work to be done tomorrow, and I need to get up relatively early.
EXPLICATA
New Years Jook: rice porridge garnished with smoked bacon, a runny fried egg, and chopped green onion. Nick intends this to be an annual thing, and in the opinion of this blogger, that is a mighty fine idea. Everyone should start the year afresh, with rice porridge and a bit of high cholesterol.
Chubby Noodle: a restaurant in the Marina which opened a few months ago. Asian fusion, really tasty nibbles, sake, and fun wine. The food is really good. Extremely tasty. Highly recommended.
Milk-tea, pastry: sanctified indulgences.
Occidental: a smoker's sanctuary in the financial district. Last of it's kind.
Briars: wooden smoking implements. Erica Arborea.
Aged Virginia: what happens to little girls when they stop believing in Santa Claus.
Work, Early: four letter words.
