The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell

Did I like it: yep

Did I work out all the mysteries before any of the main characters: ooooh yeah

So someone (we don’t know who until close to the end) dies on the set of a show that’s def not The Great British Bakeoff. But most of the book revolves around how things keep messing up, fridges left open, sugar and salt switched, etc. and the interpersonal relationships between competitors and hosts.

Kinda reads like if Lucy Foley was really hungry while writing one day.

Also imma have to find a bakery and get some bread now.

born with a golden spoon

sri lankan restaurants are fucking hot right now – the scruffy newcomer machan is fast making a name for itself while the older, more upscale k-café is already much beloved. and here at the harbour, a place catches my eye - golden spoon, a restaurant that serves our small neighbour's cuisine. though it's approaching midnight, the cafe has a decent crowd and this must surely be a good sign.

it doesn't take long for a server to appear with the menu and i choose a black chicken curry and some farata. being maldivian means you're primed for certain tastes – that is to say our palates are taught from a tender age to be receptive to the food of our island neighbour. so, if you like roshi and mashuni, chances are you will like pol sambol and idiappan.

though the other restaurants are winding down, things seem to heating up here. good. only fools will choose an empty restaurant over one that’s full. but then i think any sense of real risk (or adventure) is offset by the awareness that mine is a safe pick.

anyway, some time ago i spent several months in colombo. it was a couple of years after the war and the country was enjoying the early gifts of its economic boom. it meant a slew of new and often hipster cafes and restaurants were gracing the affluent districts of colombo. yes, it was a good time for our pretty neighbour, a period of optimism and possibility.

yet when my food arrives i notice with great disappointment the stale, stiff faratas. nevertheless, i dig into the black chicken curry, which turns out to be utterly unremarkable (the stringy meat is not even BLACK).

the sri lankan culinary wizardry is manifestly absent and i would have left right then if not for this: it’s the very thing that redeems golden spoon’s lacklustre offering – an unassuming and unmentioned side of brinjal moju - caramelised eggplant, garlic and onion that, even with the stale farata, hits all the right notes.

the bill isn’t much but i won't return. the moju though, it took me back, way back to the collective relief of post-war lanka, when the country was finally free of its past to choose its future and realising the future can be whatever. it's something that sticks with me not least because we're doing the same - at least those of us who feel it's still meaningful to be engaged in the endless and exhausting project of becoming ourselves.

Golden Spoon. 금수저. 7.4/10

I would not recommend this webtoon to my friends. I would not reread this webtoon.

I hate reading the handwritten dialogue. Handwriting takes me more time to read. Then it contrasts with the typed dialogue, which is so clean cut, but looks too easy to read. I hate Cherry's death. Nooo.

Really so tragic for Seungchun's dad to find out the truth and live with it.

How does the spoon know which person in the house you want to switch with?

The two boys really grow up to be so tall. Og Taeyong was so tall during puberty as well. I wish we knew more about Dong Gun. I think he's an interesting character.

Joo Hui reading books to learn how to act is so amusing to me. It's cute watching 전기사 watch Taeyong and Juhui be romantic together. It was so heartwarming to see og seungchun's mom as a grandma age.

Let him cook

Original:

Shauna immediately grew concerned as she saw him begin to panic. She knelt before him with a clear look of worry, not understanding what was the matter.

Shauna: "Valiant...?"

She slowly raised a paw. Maybe she wanted to try and soothe him in some way, or write a message.

But it didn't matter. Whatever she was looking to do would be rendered moot as she felt it, and froze up with a shudder.

That "off" feeling from before was now much, much stronger. It overwhelmed her senses. She felt her throat go dry and squeeze shut.

She couldn't breathe right. She couldn't talk right. She couldn't think right.

From the perspective of the party-goers, she appeared to have dissociated, breaking down emotionally, seemingly out of nowhere.

Yet in her perspective...

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Shauna considerably zoomed out to show her all alone in a large, endless space. Her outlines are rough, suggesting that this isn't real. End ID ]

Her world fell away.

She no longer saw faces. She no longer saw humans, or Pokemon.

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Shauna from behind, looking up at the many, many eyes gazing at her harshly. Her outlines are rough, suggesting that this isn't real. End ID ]

All that could be seen was her being watched by a faceless crowd. Being judged.

She felt small. Insignificant.

Vulnerable.

She didn't want to be here. He didn't want to be here.

This was how Valiant truly felt all along, wasn't it?
