Fat Boys

Have you met or know anyone who likes to laugh at others and yet sulk when others laugh at them? Why is that so? The greatest people are those who can laugh at themselves because in real life bloops and blunders happen to the best. When you can laugh at yourself, it is a reflection of your maturity and confidence. Insecure people can't do that. They laugh heartily at or make fun of others but get angry when it's the other way around.

Some businesses give themselves big names, unique names, fierce names or funny names, etc. The same goes for people. In Robin Hood and His Merry Men, Robin's trusted and able lieutenant Little John was anything but. He was a giant of a man. 

I was at Thomson Road recently and how the place has been transformed. Transformation often comes with the good and the bad. Out went the old haunts save for a few evergreen like Min's Pub. In another 5-10 years, I may not find the food I used to like as new lifestyle food joints replaced older ones. Food outlets stretched all the way to where Tomoe Japanese Cuisine is but during peak dining hours, the road side car park is always full. So we check out this outlet known as Fat Boys.

It is a Burger Bar. I suppose that after you have burgers like these you are not too excited any more about those fast food joints.

The serviette showed it means business.

I sat at a table shared at the other end with a guy whom I thought was the boss and founder of the joint because he is huge and rotund like the guy on the serviette but with more hair. He was enjoying himself and having a good time. Sometimes I wish I have an appetite like people like him.

In life, having too many choices can be a headache. Let's say you have a hundred channels on television. 50 types of coffee, tea and a long list of burgers. Worse, you can choose what to add - buns with or without sesame, with or without egg, cheese, what type of cheese, blah, blah, blah.

I chose the standard one with BBQ sauce. The beef patty was good. Quality stuffs but of course with more than ten bucks a burger, it has to be really good.

The Bratwurst is also a very good choice for those who does not want to do a burger. 

Wash them down with a strawberry milkshake and it made my day.

If you do not know what to eat at times, try such food. Or walk through the stretch for a great variety of food. Happy eating!
