not so drunken prawns

so my colleagues (well, not really. i'm like way way the youngest person there) and i went to this fancy restaurant in Tianjin for dinner after a long day of meetings and it's this cool beef steamboat place where everyone has their little steamboat and like 80% of the food was beef. the beef wasn't the most interesting though. one of the bosses ordered a drunken prawn dish, and the waitress came with this huge bowl of live prawns jumping around. so we're like, ok let's leave them there awhile and let them get drunk first, and then we can cook them. after about 15 min, one of the prawns jumped out onto the lazy susan, and it was then that we realized something was wrong. we asked the waitress, who told us that it was water, stupid, not wine!

everyone suddenly went queasy. we contemplated asking them to cook the prawns first, but then someone was like, aiyah, like that not nice already... so in the end we all had to fish out live prawns one by one and throw them into the boiling soup. gross! at least they all died in like 5 seconds.

but this must have been my most guilty dinner ever man.
