I was really puzzled by the HOR MOK signature dish I had at the Thai restaurant from our last outing. It came in an elaborate plate with a bunch of ceramic lids on top to conceal food underneath each compartment.
When I first saw the presentation, I was anticipating various nuggets of bite-sized seafood bits within each compartment. I imagined myself as a cullinary Monty Hall at a buffet scene straight from the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. "Oh what's under lid number 1? Maybe tuna? Eels? Sea slugs? Monkey brains?!?!" But my excitement diminished after each unveiling revealed DONKEYS. They were all the same crabs and scallops and SHIT.

Not that crabs and scallops were all that bad, but c'mon, why the tease?! What a bunch of HOR MOK!
