Emily: I don’t know about you, but I am famished. Are you interested in getting a bite to eat?
Ryan: that sounds great. I’m absolutely starving! What kind of food are you in the mood for?
E: I’d love something spicy. Maybe we could get some Sichuan hotpot.
R: you are a woman after my own heart. I don’t know many people who can handle spicy food. Are you sure you are up for hot pot?
E: sure. If I could, I would eat hot pot every day!
R: ok, you are really all eyes when it comes to talking about food, aren’t you?
E: well, let’s stop dragging our feet and find a Sichuan hot pot restaurant for dinner!
R: let me think about it for a minute. Let’s see… oh the name of the restaurant is on the tip of my tongue! Give me a second and it’ll come to me.
E: well…? Have you thought of it yet?
R: no…
E: never mind. There’s an authentic tasting hot pot restaurant not far from the China World Trade Towers on Chang An Street. Have you been there?
R: that’s it! That’s the one I was thinking of! I told you I’d remember it!
E: you really have a big head, don’t you.
