Month of Gluttony Feasting
The monsoon season is well and truly here. It's been raining cats and dogs every evening bringing us cooler nights. And which also means a very hungry Cupcake Queen.
I'd wake up in the mornings with a rumbling tummy and I want my food now, now, now. Just feed me NOW!
This morning, I gobbled down a plate of nasi lemak followed by a bowl of hearty chocolate oats. By lunch, I was famished and sped to Mr. J's office at KLCC and dragged him to Pacifica Grill@Mandarin Oriental to devour lamb shanks. Hmm, I'm wondering if I should have Japanese for dinner as I type this.
Thank god for the Malaysian International Gourmet Fest, or rather the Month of Intense Gluttony Feasting- heh! I've been dining my way through MIGF's food events, almost every other night, since attending the MIGF Gala Night. All thanks to Mr. J who has loads of free invites. :)
Some tips for staying ladylike while feasting away:
1. Wear those beautiful floral, empire waist dresses, which are so in right now, to accomodate an expanding tummy. Plus floral prints can hide an obvious tummy.
2. Forget wearing bright lipstick/gloss - they come off easily. Nude lip tones and smoky eyes are great when you want to feast and look good.
3. Eat slowly. So that the rest of people at your dining table, whom you barely know, won't even suspect you're being a glutton.
4. When people start commenting on how you've polish everything on your plate, start talking about the food you've just had. Just plunge into a full foodie mode to divert their attention. Start a full discourse on flavours, herbs, spices, vegetables, type of meat cuts and etc.
5. Sip your glass of wine/beer s-l-o-w-l-y and after taking in at least 5 spoonfuls of food. Don't gulp the whole glass of wine/beer down or you'd be bloated and start burping like a bullfrog.
