Gloria Maris Take Out

It’s Monday again. In most offices that means you’ll be in one meeting after another. What do you eat during a meeting specially when your meeting overlaps into lunch break? Since my store Small Office Solutions is in an office building we constantly deliver lunch packs, sandwiches, junk food, dessert and drinks to various offices who have employees in a meeting.

I recently attended a production meeting for our upcoming high school homecoming at the office of our show producer. It was my first time to attend a meeting there and luck was on my side. The meeting was set for lunch and my classmate Cherry was tasked with bringing food for lunch. I was expecting maybe some sandwiches or fast food fare. We were ecstatic to learn that Cherry brought food from Gloria Maris. Look what Cherry brought to the meeting. It was really my lucky day.

what a spread!

The sauce for the noodles were in the plastic containers above. It was good even without any sauce.

salt & pepper spareribs

The roast chicken was served on top of man tao or fried dough. The chicken was good but the man tao tasted a bit oily unlike my favorite man tao from Choi Gardern.

This was my favorite dish. I’ve never tried it before. Strips of roast duck were mixed with mayonnaise and jelly fish and topped with an assortment of fruits and glazed cashew nuts. It was a very hearty and refreshing salad.

I think one of the containers of sauce was supposed to be poured over this fried rice for it to be Fookien fried rice. In our eagerness to eat we forgot all about the sauces.

We had a great lunch. Thanks Cherry! Too bad our next meeting is scheduled for after lunch.
