I was looking forward to my “da bao”-ed dinner from Botak Jones (by my wonderful maid), and I was almost drooling when I saw their signature yellow box on my table.

But something was different this time.

Something was definitely smelling amiss! Instead of the usual aromatic smell of food, a weird and pungent smell was wafting from the box. (Notice green arrows indicative of pungent odour.)

I opened the box tentatively, and to my absolute horror, I saw this!

Si mi lai eh?! (translated: what on earth?) Are those… really… raw onions? A whole truckload of them on my otherwise fantastic dinner?

Rawr!

I painstakingly fished out all the onion (my unsuspecting dog ate a few slices because I dropped them, poor him), and look at how much onion there was!

Seriously, what were they thinking?! Does anyone actually like eating raw onions to this extent? Since when were raw onions served with hotdogs? Since when were raw onions served in massive quantites, period?

The most I’ve seen of raw onions are the occasional couple of rings on salads… Something is wrong with the folks at Botak Jones!

I most definitely did not want onion-infused tomatoes. (Or onion-infused anything, for that matter.) Bleargh.
