Prawn with Wings

I have been a faithful (though not very willing) subscriber to caterer's food for the past 7 years of my life. starting from my very first hostel (which is still my favorite so far despite the initial complaints and all) at CJC, continuing to the very 'exciting & haps' RI Boarding and finally moving on to Kent Ridge Hall, i have been eating caterer's food for dinner, (most of the time) willing or unwilling.

Now working at BD, i still eat caterer's food from the canteen. So is there anything wrong with caterer's food?? No of course not. if not i wouldn't be here anymore. However, i believe that it's really not easy to maintain a clean, safe and healthy cooking environment (i believe that extends to restaurants as well), more so to caterers, because most of the time they are paid a fixed price and they dont care whether people eat their food or not.

so what is prawn with wings? i'll leave that to your imagination - just note that it's not something you'd find extremely tasteful in your lunch/dinner plate, and you'd most probably go to complain or change or sue or go to the toilet - depending on the severity of the issue. i've recently encountered 2 prawn-with-wings issue in the caterer's food. i wasn't the victim, but i would assure you of the priceless facial expressions of those who had got this rare chance to find them in their plate.

however, when i pondered again on the issue, it reminded me of "What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean', but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean'" what can prawn with wings do to you? diarrhea? bad experience? it can even be jokes over conversations. But sometimes what comes out of our mouths on the other hand, can be so cruel, so haphazard, so brainless, that it leads to broken relationships, silent hatred, jealousy, slanders and countless unclean stuff.

May God grant us wisdom in using our tongues in our lives everyday.
