I never mentioned this before but five years ago, I stopped eating satay. Then red meat, gradually ended up stop from eating all kinds of animals. Just because I was a teenager and unable to provide three meals all by myself. I didn't refrain from eating chicken flavoured soup or any veggies served with meat. I answered lotsa questions regarding why I became a lacto-ovo vegetarian. My typical answer will be like, I used to eat anything, I remember sitting on grandpa's lap enjoying peking duck and the bun. yum. Hongkong was the most delicious country. Yum cha every morning like we don't have to worry bout nothing. (I had to mention Hongkong as my mom agrees that i ate too much pork ribs and all of those animals that they serve and their body parts, then i had a red meat trauma. LOL. wrong, guys.) but then one day i woke up realising that animals are not meant to be eaten so i stopped. hehe.
Meanwhile, THE TRUE AND SUPER DETAILED STORY:
Back then, my fave food was the Sate Padang that has very low hygiene and food that my mom won't approve. I loved it so much, that I had it for brunch, snack, dinner and supper. Well, cause they served it with the rice cakes, the satay sticks, and we can just buy the sauce and I dipped the infamous roti marie into the sauce for snacks. Voila. I got too excited that I ate nothing else that day. The next day after finished helping out my auntie in her Temple Event, i was sent home. It was all well until around 4pm ( no shit i still remember the time cause i thought i wouldn't make it till today) I had stomachache attack and the feeling was real, where you want to shit and puke at the same time. Since i couldn't control the bladder, i squat down to let go everything, later that i found my liquid shit smells fucking bad like the satay padang sauce OMGWHY. This is disgusting, but I puke some of the satay meat and the yellowish sauce too. OMG you wouldn't want to imagine it. I couldn't feel my legs, I believed that i tried my best to clean up the mess, and make my way out of the bloody smelly toilet. I think i passed out on my wooden bench for like fifteen minutes or so, as i thought i was about to die. Poor my old kakak helper back then had to clean up everything. I was not functioning well as a human for like three to five days. Amazingly, after i swore that i won't eat meat and sate padang anymore, i gain my strength back and i recovered.
For those of you who's curious of what's sate padang,
feel free to make your own argument. picture credits to google :)
So back to the story, I really stopped eating sate padang like literally the abang sate who used to be my best friend also stopped being my best friend. To the unhealthy meal that I used to love more than home-cooked lunch, I bid you farewell.
Being a happy go lucky girl, after feeling well from the deadly attack, I went out during weekend with my friends, they're grabbing some snacks to sneak into the cinema, so I did the same thing too, my choice was Shihlin, the super yummy Taiwanese street food.
THIS SUPER YUMMY TENDER FRIED CHICKEN MADE ME SUFFER THE SMALL FOOD POISONING AGAIN. WTF. Long story short, after spending so much time with my toilet bowl, I decided i should quit eating meat. I did. Not too sure how and why but I felt that i shouldn't eat fishes too, they deserve to live too. So I stopped. In those five years, if i accidentally eat a meat or what, my mouth has the tendency to push them out again, same thing if it went in already, toilet will blow up the next day.
In my five years being a vegetarian, I succeed on busting a myth: VEGETARIAN = HEALTHY. It all come from you seriously. Look at me, madly fat and unhealthy eventhough I'm half vegetarian.
Don't judge me okay, even i'm eating meat after five years, I still can't eat a whole fish when it's served with the whole body. Guilty it is. :( I should never have a whole fish just for myself.. Nowadays, I'm struggling with toilet times too, but i quite enjoy it as we have to move on and be ready to fight right.
Comeback some other time, I'll spill out why I changed my mind after five years.
