Chop Suey

The aroma of oyster oil, onions and garlic made my mouth water. I sat there desperately waiting for the beloved Chop suey to be in my mouth and taste it, and soon I got a cardboard bowl and a fork. I felt the warmth of the heated dish through the bowl, and looked in to inspect all the ingredients I could see.

Bits of vegetables were scattered among the vast amount of delicious brown noodles and rice. The pop of colour delighted me and I shifted my attention to the onions and garlic. The ghost white colour of the garlic blended in with the fluffy rice making it hard to see, and then I spotted the faint red onions among the dish. 

I stared at the entire meal through the white steam and finally with my fork I pecked at it and lifted up the noodles and began to take a bite. I slowly touched the chop suey with my tongue, feeling the heat and being careful not to burn my tongue. I started to blow on it and soon the chop suey that was in my spoon cooled and I took my first bite.

 
I savoured the scrumptious chop suey, taking in all the seasonings, thyme and oregano and mix of vegetables with the liquid black soy sauce in with the noodles. I started eating the rest of the meal picking up the rice too with the vegetables, and soon I was starting to empty the bowl. Mmm it was so good I wanted to have seconds, maybe even thirds.
