Somehow It's Still Different

Had a Ramadan buka puasa dinner at one of the resorts this evening. If you were to ask me how the dinner was, my frank answer would be it does fill the stomach but not entirely great when it comes to taste bud satisfaction.

Well, is it due to the food really being that "ungreat" or is it due to my taste bud then?

Remember that years and years back (when I had just started working and earning a meagre amount of income), having a buffet meal in hotel was something I truly enjoyed and looked forward to. Food seems to be great and satisfied my taste bud entirely.

It is quite interesting to hear from one of my friends once that he does not have the same amount of satisfaction and "feeling" when he eats those butter cookies in those blue tin can nowadays, as compared to when he had them during his childhood. It's even more interesting to hear him mentioning "perhaps we could not really afford it then, that's why we treasured and enjoyed those cookies entirely during childhood". Deep within my little heart, I totally agree, though.

Well, perhaps the food during the buka puasa dinner isn't that "ungreat" after all, but somehow, it's still different ...
