The sweet oil from the piping-hot mince
trickles down your freshly-washed hands.
The crunching sound takes all your worries away.
Your mouth can’t resist.
You take another bite.
Then another and another…
until the spiciness kicks in.
You chug down a glass of water in three seconds flat.
You fill it up and have another drink.
Suddenly, the plate is empty.
You are stuffed full of the best food in the world.
Now… what to try next?
