Was in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend, and had the privilege of enjoying some awesome Hakka food on Sunday for lunch. It would have made a very happy story if it ended just there, but the genius that is me went on to play a few tunes on my harmonica after we got back to the hotel room.
Now for those unaquainted with the fineries of Chinese cuisine, Hakka cooking tends to use a lot of garlic. Yup, you probably know where this is going already. I picked up my harmonica yesterday and realized the draw notes tasted of Sunday’s lunch.
I guess this is one of the downsides of playing the mouth organ — its really very inadvisable to practice after meals, especially if they are of the Hakka variety. Even after some thorough cleansing, I can still taste the remnant of garlic inside my harp. Eww.
