hiccups@restaurants

8 June. Yay. Got to eat jap food at ichiban boshi in esplanade. Finally satisfied my craving for jap food. Initially I wanted to take the set meal but decided to go for the sushi plates. Had my favourite salmon sushi of course. Hmmmm. The cha soba is a must-eat too. Ok, let me count wat i ate: cha soba, sushi (salmon, spicy lobster mayo), spider temaki and tuna mayo inari. Did not eat as much as i would in a buffet. But mabbe i was saving space for desserts (haagen dazs). The first hiccup occurred in this restaurant. My fren's order was taking a super long time. We checked with the waiter and he told us it was on the way (he did not check with the kitchen). Later, when we asked again, he told us that the order had not been keyed in. So i started to complain about the poor service. Know wat he said? He said," So u wanna cancel order?" I was stunned. The point was that the mix-up was by them and we just wanted the food to be served fast. It was already 8.45 pm. Pretty late for dinner. After settling the bill, we thought there was 10 dollars extra and splitted the money.As planned initially, we went over to haagen dazs for desserts. That was when i realised that the money was mine! I only had fifty bucks with me that day, so after payin for my dinner, i should have three ten-dollars left. And another ten bucks from menu cos she changed money with me. However, i was short of ten bucks. Forgot to take the ten dollars when menu changed $$. Sorry gals, no sponsorship for ice-cream.
There was another hiccup at haagen dazs. The staff got the topping wrong. Gave us aloe vera instead of almond flakes. We told the staff and got the additional almond flakes (they cant possibly removed the aloe vera. so we got a free toppin!). Ice-cream is such good food. We had cookies n creme, brandied cherry (the cherry tasted as if it had been soaked in the wine for some time. i like...), green tea, mango and chocolate. Wat a good way to end the day with ice-cream.
