Appetite

 

For a long year in isolation

Frustration wide spreads in the nation

Staying at home without alcohol, without buddies

Longing for fancy foods, craving for goodies!

 

Thinking back to yesteryear suddenly feel thrilled,

Weekends were allowed to go to the restaurants

Which Chinese, which Japanese, which Mexican

Or Thai, or Vietnamese, or Korean ...

 

Peking Duck authentic Chinese roast

Taste good to the last piece as they boast

Sushi reminiscent of Phan Thiet's cuisine by sea

Wasabi is tough, hot like crazy!

 

I’m eager for Taco with its charm,

Soft smooth white Udon yarn,

Or Pad Thai’s spicy and sour

But still faithful to our original Phở

 

Different dishes, delight dishes in the world

All year banned... not going to, not saying a word

In and out to sigh like lonely mistress

Oh my dear, how I’ve missed those waitresses!
