i grant, of course, that it is not real satay, but this dining hall does get some things right sometimes.

so i trudge in for lunch and they give me:

• a bowl of udon, dry
  
• drenched in a sour and spicy sauce
  
• topped with mango chutney with real chunks of mango
  
• and cucumber achah (which actually taste like achah)
  
• and liberal sprinklings of chopped peanuts and grated coconut
  
• and on top of all this, grilled beef on a skewer

and much happiness fills my heart.
