Dinner at Red House and an unexpected friend
Let me get this across first.
If I were a typical Singaporean, this entry will be filled up curses, complaints
complaints and even more complaints about the horrendous service this seafood restaurant
has to offer.
Yes.
I am being sacarstic, "The service it has to offer", like bloody hell they called that service. -.-
Right.
So the family went to the Red House Restaurant and had dinner. Duh.
This is the list of stuff that we ordered.
1. Chef's Speciality Prawns.
2. Chilli Crab.
3. Some stirred fried veggies just to make ourselves not feel guilty about the oily stuff
that our teeth are about to sink into
4.Ee Fu Mee.
First stop.
The veggies came first.
I was like O_o
Wtf?
Veggies first?
Look.
If I were the waiter or chef or something, this would what I had done first.
Cook the Mee and serve it. Then the veggies.
Look.
The family looked like a bunch of goo-blocks just munching on the veggies.
No rice somemore! We didn't order the rice cause we already had the noodles.
We aren't that die-hard fans of carbo.
So, ya.
Idiots we were.
Like some herbivore, we munch on the broccoli.
Then we waited.
We waited.
We waited.
We waited.
For 30 mins.
Yes
30 mins
30 fucking mins!
In comes the Ee Fu Mee.
I must comment that the Mee was good.
But.
Why 30 mins?
Furthermore, the dish wasn't that much you know.
I could jolly well finish it myself.
Solo.
Damn.
Then we waited again.
You know what. Here, I am beginning to think that this is some ploy that the restaurant
owners are driving at. You know, make the customers eat, then let like digestion happen.
So, to those bio-impaired, this means more space for you to fill in that stomach of yours.
So, to those that are still oblivious, More space to eat= Order more dishes= More money spent
= They earn more money.
Kar-ching.
Ok.
It was like another 25mins later that the Crab came.
We feast.
Damn.
Or was it just me?
I don't know.
At that moment, I didn't even give a damn about dinning ettiqute.
If you as hungry as I was, I tell you you would have even personally rushed into the kitchen
and get the Crab yourself.
Yes.
I was that desperate.
So I ate the two pincers, using just the chopsticks. Pro eh?
Then part of the body.
My dad coup the head first while my mum took the rest of the body. Of course got share la.
Then we waited again.
Maybe this should be the tag line of Red House: The house that makes you wait.
OK.
It sounds lame.
Period.
Then we waited for another 15mins, I don't know how long.
The prawns came.
Now this were good.
:) :) :) :) :)
I ate 5 out of the 9.
Kinda greedy?
Sorry la mum and dad, next time let you eat all. XD
Ok.
All in all, we stayed in the House for 1 hour. Sorry if the time above doesn't mirror the time
here.
Then the family went for a walk at the beach.
I walked alone, left parents to themselves.
You know.
There.
No.
I think the beach is one of the best places available for you to just think and process things
that have been happened recently.
It truly is the place.
I kinda thought, let the thoughts float around.
Common Test.
O Levels.
The damn bio report.
The damn hmt homework.
Then.
Her.
I know she should be the first thing that came to mind. But but but.
"Her" lingered in my mind the longest.
Long enough for me to trip and almost fall.
That bad eh?
... -.-
Then we went home via cab. Waited for another bloody hour. I was part cursing and part
thinking of her.
I am getting weird le...
