A lunch @ Bandar Utama 1 U

1st July 2008 - We(me, my god dad, Ying Jia) went to Bandar Utama. My purpose is to accompany Ying Jia since my God Dad was there to work. I'm damn nice, arent i?.. XD So our first stop at Ikea, Damansara PJ, he(God Dad) bought some furnitures, not sure what were those furniture for.. but the price is quite hostile..

The trip was very monotonous, lacking in variety at first, dull because of nothing to do, only God Dad was busy with his stuffs and me and Ying Jia were like idiots stood there looking around. However the boredom has reached the climax at lunch time whereby undesirable arguments occurred. It was at Oriental Craving, an unknown place for me but listened to my God Dad, this place is known for its hearty and unpretentious home-styled Chinese fare. Oriental Cravings has its regular customers agreeing that dining here is as good as partaking of Mom’s cooking. So familiar are some patrons with the outlet’s offering that they don’t bother with the printed menu.

Okay stop the craps..

We went in, occupied the third seats from left. Lets see, the ambiance of this place is pleasant and comfortable. Haplessly, the workers there disappointed us. How would we went that place if we knew the workers there are dumbos.

The conversation carried like this:

Waitress 1: Yes sir? What would you like to order?
God Dad: Okay, give me this one(chicken) and this one(vege)
Waitress 1: Alright.. Would you like to try our pork?
God Dad: Okay, i take this..(pork)
Waitress 1: For your information sir, we do have new (pork), do you want to try?
God Dad: Okay, i take that then...
(From the sentence above, obviously he ordered the one suggested by the waiter and replaced the one he wanted. Logically, we could actually see that there's no supplementary food for pork, it couldn't be 2 pork meals for a lunch right?)

Continued..

God Dad: Okay last one, this(? forgot lol)

We ordered 4 foods(Didn't notice what those foods called but assured there were 4)

Waitress 1: Alright.. (She signed 5 foods. Without rephrasing the foods and beverages ordered, she ciaoz-ed just like that. It did not comes to our attention because we wasn't know she is a dumbo)
5 minutes later..

Alright, we and Ying Jia were enjoying the awesome dessert/beverages.

10 minutes later..

(chicken) & (pork 2) were served.. Wow it tastes so gooddddddddd..

another 5 minutes later..

Another (pork 1) was served.. We were like "WTF?"

Okay, here comes again:

God Dad: Excuse me, Is this pork?
Another dumbo came
Waiter 2: Err. Yeah, it is, is there any problem sir?
God Dad: We did not order this, so take it away..
Waiter 2: Okay sorry.. (took it and back to the counter)

I was looking at him and he was bitching at the counter pointing to our table. Anyway, i continued eating.. slowly eating..

1 minutes later..

The previous dumbo came

Waitress 1: Excuse me sir, are you sure you didn't order this?
God Dad: Yeah, how possible i'm not sure?
Waitress 1: Because right, i signed your order and i'm sure you did call this.
God Dad: Okay listen, I said i wanted this one(pork 1) and you the one who suggested me (pork 2) Correct?
Waitress 1: Yeah.
God Dad: So.. obviously, i ordered the one(pork 2) you recommended(pork 2) and should've canceled (pork 1), shouldn't you?
Waitress 1: Okay.. sorry..

Okay, peace back.. ^.^

While eating, waiting for the 4th food, me and Ying Jia were peeping at him(God Dad), who were in anger, his face as busuk as busuk tau fu, as red as volcano, will explode anytime.

Okay, time to explode... the Supervisor came. - another dumbo.

Supervisor: Sorry sir..
God Dad: It's ok (He thought the apologize is meant for her dumbos worker.... but.....)
The conversation continued with cantonese, and here's the translation

Supervisor: So what's the problem?
God Dad: It's nothing actually, your staffs misunderstood. I ordered only one (pork) but it came 2 (pork). I said i wanted (pork 1) but she then suggested (pork 2), so i told her, "okay i take that then". In proper regulation, it's impossible we order 2 pork for a lunch right?
Supervisor: okay let me revise your call.

She then back to counter
God dad: Fuck!!!
Volcano Booming...
Me and Ying Jia were scared lol...

1 minutes later

Supervisor: Actually sir, if you couldn't finish the (pork 1), you can take away(da bao)
God Dad: No!!! This is not about we are denying the food just because we noticed that we couldn't finish it. We did not order, so there's no way we deny right??!!!??
God Dad: However, i don't mind you putting 5 foods on check and the (pork 1) included in the receipt payment. I'm your permanent customer, it's up to you how you handle this case.

She then quiet and back to counter.

Volcano boomed....
God Dad: (Strike his palm on the table... BANG), Let's go another place to eat.
Me and Ying Jia were shocked the hell up
God Dad: (Stood up), called "MAI DAN!!!" (payment).. Hand in pocket reached his wallet, took his platinum credit card and threw it on the table flatly.

Impatiently, he took back his credit card on the table and walked to the counter. Me and Ying Jia were looking at each other and then:

The 4th food wasn't serve yet..
Brandon: Lets finish up the dessert.. Don waste.
Ying Jia: Okay...

Argument ended...

The wasted lunch costs more than RM150 if not mistaken..

=========================================================================


Pasta Zanmai was the place we headed straight away after being caught up in a very very hungry condition. We were famished. Upon entering and scrutinizing the menu, we were spoilt with choices of different varieties of pastas, rice and other Jap dishes. Acknowledged as a fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine, I got held back a little initially as I thought it was a funny and weird mingle. However, the dishes proved me wrong.

So what we had...

Punch for beverages(God Dad)

- mixed drink contained fruit juice, random fruits(honeydew, watermelon, lime, orange, apple, and papaya)

Our foods.

This was mine

-Ebi Tempura no Gomadare Shitate is a serving of prawn tempura rice topped with curry sauce. The curry sauce just uplifted our appetite and it went really well with the white rice. Prawns were fresh, nothing to complain about. Served together with a miso soup and salad.

Ying Jia and I have been craving for desserts and esp ice cream for such a long time, having this Macha Cha Parfait was a an ecstasy. This elated share was served in a tall glass brimming bountifully with layers of chocolate and vanilla jelly, red bean, banana, cornflakes and scoops of Chocolate ice cream!

~Specially thanks to the argument in Oriental Craving~
