Palace Hotel - they had real food!



i was stumbling home from a disappointing night out and decided to cut through Thai town to the late bus. out of the dark back streets loomed a red neon dragon with chinese writing and and arrow saying VIP.

i went in.

it was dark and at first disappointing. the hostess seemed bored and after a quick walk through i didnt even find basic level snacks (no lollies or nuts) and suspected the dragon wasn't guarding anything..

how wrong i was.

i spotted on the far table a bottle of chilli sauce. on closer inspection i found plastic containers, soy sauce, cutlery, mugs, tea and finally a small steamer.

of course i didnt dare draw any nearer under the watchful gaze of the hostess..

i perched myself at a pokie machine and began the 100 hits method (described on the home page). once i had established my presence i finally ventured back out to the steamer and opened it.

it contained BBQ pork buns and chicken dim sum.

a boon, the perfect food to keep fresh and edible for extended periods!..

...well the bun was a bit gooey and the dim sums a bit crusty, but they were both extremely edible doused in chilli sauce AND i can confirm that i have had no stomach issues almost 12 hours since.
