Salmon and Crab

Went for dinner talk last night at the Le Meridien in KL. It was sponsored by GSK and the speaker was Prof Soren Pederson from Denmark, a well known authority in the field of asthma management. He is also a paediatrician. The talk was on 'Asthma Management - What the present holds for the future' (or something like that). I think it was a good talk.

The dinner was very good. Le Meridien's food has always been delicious. They usually serve continental dishes. The menu went like this:

Starters: Bread with butter. All kinds of bread.
Smoked Norwegian salmon on minced crab meat, surrounded by mango salsa and jumaico sauce (whatever that was; but it was tasty!)
A clear soup with mushroom and minced chicken meat inside in a cup. You have to dig up the mushroom using a bread stick coated with parmesan. No spoons available!
More bread with more butter.
The main course was lamb done medium rare with a chunk of cod fish sourrounded by all kinds of I-have-no-idea-what-they-are but all very tasty.
Desert was tiramisu with a strawberry, more funny and tasty sauce; and a tiny cup filled with chilled yellow lliquid (I know it sounds gross...considering the talk was on asthma!) which tasted divine!
This was followed by chunks of chocolate and cheese cake.
And finally coffee and tea.

I skipped all the cheesy materials and coffee and tea. The former gives me one major migraine and the latter, if I took it, would have had me staring at the ceiling with insomnia till next week!

Thank God I hit the gym before the dinner but I doubt the workout I did was enough to burn all the extra calories I put in last night.....feeling loads of guilt now. Sigh.

Long day ahead...it's chest clinic today. No time to hit the gym again. The waist line will just have to expand a bit. Sigh.
