Fried Pork Fries Perception
This night wasn’t anything special, just another Wednesday night. Yes, it was busy, but there was just enough breathing room to not feel suffocated. At that point, I’d just finished up a major portion of an essay, so the walk home had been quite boring. However, from the corner of my nearly-shut eyes appeared a cozily-lit restaurant that recently opened up. It definitely woke me up, but I can confidently say that it did not disappoint!

This dish here is their pride, the favorite on their menu, and my personal favorite; Homemade Fried Pork! The dish is served with an option of either mashed potatoes or potato wedges, a patch of lettuce, as well as their homemade sauce (which really elevated the taste). When I asked them about it, they happily explained how the pork needs to be carefully watched whilst cooking, so as to not overcook or undercook it. During the cooking process, they also make sure to cook the pork alongside other herbs to really absorb the flavor and aroma!
After enjoying that exquisite meal, I was severely shocked. My eyes really opened up to the ways in which food, the most basic of essentials, can be brought up to such a masterful degree. Before this night, the amount of properly planned dishes that I’ve had could be counted on one hand! Everyday, it would only be consisted of fruits, oatmeal, and restaurant food packed in a personal lunchbox. However, this unforgettable experience will be the start of a change in the way how I think about and pack my meals, and I hope that it can be the same for you!
P.S: Sorry for the lack of updates! I’ve been busy with my personal life, but things have gotten better now, expect more updates soon. Until then, stay snuggly!
