会社の同僚とのランチ。
I had lunch with my colleagues.
来月には、新しいオフィスに引っ越してしまうので、東京駅で食べられるものということで、大盛りパスタのお店をチョイス。
Since we’ll be moving to a new office soon, we went to a restaurant near Tokyo Station that serves extra-large portions of pasta.
880円で500g、1,080円で800gのパスタが食べられる。800gはさすがにムリかと思い、500gのミートソースパスタを選択。ナポリタンもあったけど、ナポリタンだと飽きてしまいそうと思ったのが、その理由。
They offer 500g of pasta for 880 yen and 800g for 1,080 yen. I felt that 800g would be too much for me, so I chose the 500g portion with Bolognese sauce. I could have also chosen Napolitan pasta, but I thought I might not be able to finish it since it’s quite oily.
登場すると、そこまでのインパクトはなく、食べ始めても量の多さは感じない。食べ終わっても、割と普通。これなら、豚山のラーメンのほうが、よっぽど腹に堪えるし、800gにチャレンジしてみればよかったと思う。もし、次回があれば、トライしてみたい。
When the pasta arrived, it didn’t look as big as I expected, and once I started eating, it didn’t feel overwhelming at all. By the time I finished, I was just comfortably full. For me, the Jiro-style ramen from Butayama feels like a bigger challenge than this pasta, so I probably could have handled the 800g portion. Next time I visit the restaurant, I’m going to try the biggest size.
また、食べながらの話題で、同僚の働きについての話題になった。今年はグチは言わないことを決めたのに、つい話に乗ってしまったので反省。次回以降は、グチは言わないようにする。
While we were eating, we talked about a colleague’s performance. I reflected on my own actions today because I had decided not to complain about anything. I promised myself that I wouldn’t complain about my colleagues.
To be continued.
