I was thinking, &#8220;Hmm.. How about a Whopper? That sounds good. I think I&#8217;ll get a Whopper.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As I got closer I thought, &#8220;I wonder if I should try that Siam Cuisine place. They&#8217;ve been around for almost a year and I still haven&#8217;t tried their food. Maybe I&#8217;ll go there today since Brian won&#8217;t be with me and I don&#8217;t have to listen to him whine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So at the last second I decided to go to Siam Cuisine. I actually passed it and had to turn back. But that is where I ended up going for dinner. Big mistake. Maybe my missing my turn was a sign. You know, God telling me not to go there. I should&#8217;ve paid attention.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t look too bad on the outside. The inside is furnished in your typical hole-in-the-wall resto style. There was only one other couple there. I was thinking of just getting my order to go, but then I figured I didn&#8217;t want to have to contend with the cats so despite my dislike for eating alone I decided to stay and eat there.<\/p>\n<p>I look at the menu and, out of all of the food choices, my idiot self goes directly for the &#8220;Adventures&#8221; section. I ordered eggplant in black bean sauce with pork as my choice of meat. I was expecting a concoction similar to my favorite eggplant dish at PF Chang&#8217;s. Was I ever wrong! It looked and smelled scary.<\/p>\n<p>I had asked her for mild, but she either didn&#8217;t understand or didn&#8217;t hear me. She seemed to comprehend and speak English fine, so it must&#8217;ve been the hearing thing. My mouth was on fire!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually quite surprised that I haven&#8217;t had to go to the bathroom yet. If I were Brian, I would probably in the bathroom right now instead of blogging. Think of Ben Stiller&#8217;s character in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0343135\/\" >Along Came Polly<\/a>. Thank God I have a strong constition.<\/p>\n<p>I really should&#8217;ve gotten a Whopper. This is what I get for trying to be adventurous. Never again.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/329\/1336138\/restaurant\/Siam-Cuisine-Wichita\" ><img alt=\"Siam Cuisine on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1336138\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;padding:0px;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I didn&#8217;t eat lunch today, I was kind of hungry on the way home from work.
