Egg Wig

There's this really awesome restaurant here called Satay kingdom.

Jenn and Jarrad took me here the first week I was here, and I had a seafood laksa, and it was amazing, but after I had already ordered, and was waiting for my food, I saw a server walk by with what appeared to be a mound of fried rice with an egg wig on top. At that point I became obsessed with the Egg Wig, and talked about it all the time. Well finally just on Saturday I was able to actually realize my dream of eating the egg wig.

It definitely lived up to my expectations.

It had a nice bit of spice to it, and it was filled with tons of little scrimps, and it was so much food. Seriously, you know a portion is big if I can't finish it (which I didn't.) And on top of all that, the egg wig only costs about $6 Canadian. The Coke and the roti bread there weren't included. Still cheap as hell though.

This is upstairs from Satay Kingdom, I just thought it was a nice picture.

Satay Kingdom is located just off of Cuba street here, which is right downtown and is a pedestrian street, you know with no traffic and shit. This is the little side corridor or whatever that you walk through to get to the restaurant.

And this is Cuba street. This place is packed with people all day, all night. All the popular bars are along here, so it's a great place to walk around and drink and go to bars on any night. Good during the day too. Tons of weirdies, freakos, and scumbags to check out. And babes.

Lots of panhandlers and buskers too. I asked Jarrad if he wanted a picture with the "Slavic family" and he said "Uhhhhhh yeah."

Fanciest Burger King in the world. I can't believe the city let a fast food chain move into such a nice building. I went to this Burger King later when I was drunk, and they have crazy late night combos because Cuba is the drunk street. So they have like 8 combos called "The Late Shift" and "The Midnight Hour" and shit like that, and they all feed anywhere from 2 to 4 people.

Ummmmm yeah I just liked the cut of this guy's jib, so I blasted him. Despite the look on his face, he didn't notice.

Jarrad and Jenn took the bait on this guy who had this set up, and ended up getting caught in a christian trap, where they proceeded to get into a theological debate with the dude. I just plopped down on a bench and moaned and groaned like a baby.

Then later that night we were drinking at home getting ready to go out, and the house next door was having a big party with super loud crazy techno-pop music. It sounded like they were listening to Autobahn over there. Upon further investigation (looking out the window), we realized that there was a guy doing this music singlehandedly live, and so I drunkenly strolled over and asked whose party it was, explained we lived next door and were from Canada and didn't know anyone and could we join the party. Turned out being some girl's 21st birthday party, and she was down, so we stayed for a few songs, drank some beers and danced.

Here's a video of the guy in action.

After that we headed back to Cuba street and drank some more, I got super wasted and then as I mentioned, went to the fanciest Burger King on earth and ordered the "Hell Raiser" meal. I have no idea why it was called that. It was a burger with avacado, and some sort of weird relish that was more like sauteed onions. It was'nt spicy at all.

The end.
