Hesitant Diner Loves Singapore Sushi

Posted by Cindy on December 28, 2009

Mirna had never tried sushi and she was twenty-two years old. This seemed entirely strange to her friends Wendy and Tina who finally decided that it was time their friend broadened her taste buds and get introduced to one of their greatest food oriented passions. So, the arrived unexpectedly at Mirna’s house one night and blindfolded her and dragged her to the car. They drove to their favorite sushi establishment but had to drive around the block a few times and got on and off the freeway so that Mirna would not guess where they were going. It should be obvious that Mirna was not interested in trying this delicacy and had never gone willingly with her friends to a sushi restaurant. This night was different, however and primarily because Mirna was being taken there against her will, but once they arrived she was enjoying the mystery of the evening enough and appreciated her friends efforts which put her in the mood to explore her friends’ favorite cuisine.

Five years later Mirna was on a business trip to Singapore with her husband Tom and she thought about that night as they drove past a sushi Singapore restaurant. She laughed to herself and told Tom the story. He asked her if she enjoyed it that night and Mirna’s response was that it was the one and only time she had ever eaten sushi. That inspired Tom to turn the car around and drag Mirna for the second time to the sushi restaurant they had passed. Oddly, Mirna found herself once again willing to give it a try. She opted from something familiar and ordered a California Roll. Tom ordered a large platter that had many items that looked intriguing and somewhat intimidating to Mirna. She wasn’t sure why, but she actually loved the sushi that night and almost instantly she felt herself becoming the sushi fanatic her friends longed for her to be so many years before. Mirna couldn’t wait to call her friends, who she hadn’t spoken to in months, and tell them about her transition.
