Esther apparently order a lunch special, "Kwaytio Kee Mao" (F-5 on the menu), which she had never ordered before, and which was also marked on the menu with an ominous chili pepper, indicating a degree of spiciness. When questioned by our reporter, Esther offered the following remark:
"Though I usually go for some spring rolls, or pad thai, or coconut soup, I was feeling a little adventurous today, and decided to try something different."
It would be worthwhile to note that she did request the dish to be prepared as mildly as possible. Royal Thai 2 is known as the leader of the pack in the fried-ice-cream department, in addition to being Esther's favorite local Thai haunt.
On her way back to the office, Esther narrowly escaped injury when she slipped on the sidewalk, while walking beneath a scaffolding. Howeverm she managed to amazingly regain her balance, and she did not fall. Our reporter was impressed, noting her cat-like reflexes.
I wonder what the size of the staff is at Headline News. There is one reporter staked out at Lair 5-I, and another one keeping tabs on Esther during her lunch chronicles, presumably a different one than Chief Editor E herself. Are these three all one in the same?
ReplyDeleteThe Headline News raises these existential questions of identity in its pages, ones worthy of Beckett and Kierkegaard in this reader's opinion. Can we ever really know the News?
Was the thai food good?
