It was a bowl full of leaves… as expected ;) but at the back of my mind I was already thinking if I can survive the afternoon with just salad. For someone used to eating lots of rice, salad is something extraordinary. Surprisingly after finishing the whole thing, I am full and seems that eating salad is good after all.

It helped that there were chicken strips, lots of almonds, fried wanton wrappers, and an oriental dressing to give it more Asian taste. Not bad for a first-time-salad-only-for-lunch eater.
