a sorta eventful weekend
because i love indian and mediterranean cuisine, my friends and i decided to eat at a persian restaurant last sunday. we weren’t familiar with most of the things on the menu, so we got a bit adventurous and picked random dishes. one of us was on a diet, so she settled for the yummy green salad garnished with corn and grilled chicken. and an earthworm lol. she was through eating the whole salad when she saw an earthworm tap dancing on her empty plate. it’s a good thing that she’s not at all grossed out, so we were able to show the kitchen about it without causing scandal. a few minutes later, the restaurant owner himself came to our table and expressed his apologies. from the look on his face, it was clear that he was terribly embarrassed about the incident and even mentioned that even his apology could never fully express nor make up what has happened. he was lucky because we’re not the sort who make it a big public scandal; besides, it was sort of an assurance that their vegetables are organic hehehe.. anyway, the meal worth around 2 thousand pesos was on the house (yey!) and we even got complimentary dessert. we weren’t planning on pressing charges or anything, it was no biggie. in fact, we were even willing to pay for the “undamaged” food. what surprised me that night, aside from the free meal, was the owner’s guts to claim responsibility. we admired how he dealt with it and showed some class. you can’t find that in most restaurants in manila, you know. the best you can get, if you’re lucky, is a free replacement soup and a kthxbai.
we sorta felt bad for them because these things do happen, but on the other hand we can’t deny being happy for having a free delicious meal lol. and because they have good food and excellent service, we will still be going back for more. :)
i guess we had too much fun and blahaha that night that i got serious dyspepsia the following day. to top that, fever’s decided to boogie along as well. not even a bottle of 7-up did the trick, so i was stuck in bed the whole day feeling lousy and unusually full. sleeping only made it worse.
anyhoo, the free moo cards i got for renewing my flickr account arrived that day.
and eek were they small!
they make nice personalized call cards, tho.
this is the car audio cable extension we murdered. instead of buying a new one, we bought it to replace the missing parts of my brother’s hand-me-down belkin ipod player. so, yay! we got the thing working again lol.
so… what’s the name of the resto?
btw we’re going through the same thing, i’ve been feeling bloated and had a fever since last sunday until just last wednesday, still feeling bloated though, and like my head is full of fluff, and my capacity for cold weather is on the blink, and and and, too many complaints, i feel like i’m self pitying myself(double reference?)
that’s dyspepsia alright hehe.. a liter of 7-up and a good sweaty workout should do the trick :>
