Seafood at Pandaan

Vebby told me that she would have a dinner in Pandaan. She asked me to come along. I thought it was a good idea to eat at places outside Surabaya sometimes so I accepted her offer. About 5.30 PM, we headed there. There were Bambang, Yustina, Vebby and her boyfriend’s sister, and Enyo driving. The traffic was so well jammed we moved pretty slowly. My stomach couldn’t compromise and started to beg for food. I tried to get some sleep but I couldn’t.
Finally we arrived at the toll gate. But an unexpected thing happened. Enyo took the wrong gate. We supposed to take the Waru-Gempol gate but she took the Waru-Surabaya gate. All of us were so surprised knowing this. Vebby and Yustina blamed Bambang because he sat at the front chair but didn’t remind Enyo. Of course they only teased him. I wanted to tease him too but I kept it for later. At that moment I pretended to sleep soundly. I guessed they didn’t realize that I was awake. Once we reached the Gayungsari toll gate, at the Mastrip street, I “woke up” and asked them where we were. They tried to hide the truth from me and I played along. I acted like I didn’t know anything until I saw a big drugstore’s board sign showing we were at the Mastrip street. I pointed that out and asked why we were still at Surabaya. They explained to me and I blamed Bambang for that thing. Hehehe, sorry pal, just kidding. Okay I did pretend I was sleeping but for goodness sake, I was really starving. Thanks to Vebby, she had some breads for us to eat.
Eventually, we arrived at Pandaan. After taking Vebby’s boyfriend’s sister home, we headed to the eating place. We ordered two large portions of Crabs and four small portions of squids and prawns. Since I was so damn starving, everything looked, smelt, and tasted good to me. Okay not everything. There was a portion of inked squids. I didn’t even want to touch it. Enyo took some pictures of me while I was eating like there’s no tomorrow. I didn’t a give a damn though as my stomach had the top priority at that moment. Anyway, it was a good dinner. In the future, however, I will think twice if someone will ever ask me to go eating at a rather far place. I couldn’t stand hunger.
