Aristo held Elsa's hand as they both walked on the busy street outside the cinema. The place was lively with a number of middle aged woman selling snacks and serving several customers.
"Come, let's try one of those." Elsa pulled Aristo to one of the stalls that had a woman selling grilled meat. Aristo was skeptical as he followed her. He had never eaten street food before. He watched Elsa get four sticks with meat from the vendor and raised one to his lips.
"Try it." she said. Aristo was hesitant for a while but slowly opened his mouth and took a bite after seeing the expectant look in her eyes. His expression was neutral as he chewed.
'The meat tasted good.' he thought as he reached out to take another stick from Elsa. He wanted more of the delicacy he had just tasted. It was not necessarily the best but it had a unique taste that reminded him of home. Elsa retracted her hand before he could take her food.
