My girlfriend's family ran a fried rice bar that did a menu special called the "4 b4 4". It was kind of like similarly named specials from other places, but this was much better.
I looked out the window of her apartment at the massive crowd queueing outside her family's place. I judged the quality of the special of that day by the numbers in the crowd that was lining up outside.
"Must be good today" I would say.
"I'll make you some, babe!" she would say then and start cooking some for me right there and then.
I looked out again at the people leaving the shop with big smiles on their faces and looked forward to being one of them in just a few moments.
It was delicious. It was spicy, it was sweet, it was very tasty fried rice!
Afterwards my girlfriend was doing the dishes and I had another look outside. 4 o'clock had now passed and there were some disappointed looking people outside her family shop.
