What struck me to write this entry was a ‘vegetarian deluxe pie’ from Singapore Airline.

Well, I never like vegetarian food since I was young. It is because I am not a vegan, the idea of eating the ‘fake’ fish and meat really annoys me. You know..fake sausages with artificial flavourings, cake without EGGS….But I do admire the way they make those ‘fake’ meat because they look….SO REAL! It is not that I don’t like their vegetables. I just don’t like the ‘fake’ meats that’s all.

In fact, I love eating vegetables so much that I have 70% vegetables in my meal. My mom used to take us to a vegetarian restaurant once in a blue moon but I always frowned and cringed. And of course for the past 5 years, I had never stepped into vegetarian restaurants because I just screamed my head off. Hehe I know I was being unreasonable and childish but hey, I have my preference just like everybody else.

Anyway, until one day, something (or perhaps someone) has changed my life ever since. I had a date with a guy who took me to a vegetarian restaurant at the FIRST DATE! I must admit that I was pretty shocked when I stepped into the vegetarian restaurant. No one ever takes me to a VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT on a date!

And later on, more suprises coming up when I learnt that this guy was actually a vegan. I was a little uncomfortable but still I finished up my meal as usual.*good girl*

After the date, I talked to my mom about the whole idea of being a vegan but she laughed at me hysterically! (ya..may be I looked like a clown to her) She said only a non-family member can make me eat what I don’t like. And she made me think when she said if the same dish was served in a ‘non-vegan’ restaurant, I would have eaten it without any complain.

Man…That is soo bloody true!

So when we were flying to Singapore, my mom wanted to try their vegetarian meal. I frowned at her instantly but gave her a silly smile after that. So she had a mushroom pie and she made me took a bite. In my brain: Well…not bad…still, I think I prefer my ‘normal’ pie.

When we were flying back, I knew that I have to change my bloody attitude so I requested for a vegetarian meal last minute. And guess what, for the very first time, I finished my pie! =)

For now, I am trying to accept vegetarian food…erm..I mean those fake meat. But if I have a choice, I won’t choose to have vegetarian food but I also won’t make a big fuss if I

DO go to a vegetarian restaurant. *wink* I think I am getting better…=) Hooray~
