Overdressed and Ungrateful
Saturday, July 05, 2008 Edit This 2 Comments »
I won tickets to this party on the radio the other day. Although the club is nice, it's back up in the cut and quite scary but me and my neighbor decided to go and check it out anyway... After all it was free.
We get there right before 11pm (did I mention the tickets I won only gave us free entry before 11????? wack!) Anyway, after a few minutes in line I feel kinda weird, B looks at the crowd and says he feels old. I noticed that my feeling weird was due to the fact that 97% of the women there had on "dresses" that looked like shirts (I was calling them shirt dresses) and I had on some nice white slimming pants a black strapless halter with a really cute short sleeve sweater. I thought I looked rather hot if you ask me but I guess I was a bit overdressed for that crowd. We only stuck around for an hour maybe then headed down to china town to get something to eat. B had a taste for salty fish rice and chicken (sounds gross right?) but that's what he wanted so that's where we went.
I wasn't terribly hungry but I order some spring rolls and after some hesitation the Kung Pao Tofu and B orders his salty fish rice. The waitress asked him if he ever had it and he said yes. She almost tried to talk him out of it because this is not the typical dish that Americans like but that's what we came down there for.
When my dish finally comes, I tasted it and YUCK! The texture of the tofu was ok but the sauce was nasty, I can't even describe it but I decided that I wasn't going to eat it. B asked the waitress if I could exchange it because I didn't like it and with hesitation again she asked the cook. I heard her say some things in her native language then I heard her clearly and with much attitude say I DON'T THINK SO! That made me laugh really hard on the inside.
She came over took the dish and continued to fuss about how they work really hard and that was the dish that I ordered (basically saying she wasn't going to accommodate me). She looked at B at that time and told him that he wasn't gonna like the fish rice because of the strong fish smell. He said that he had it and that's what he wanted but she refused to give it to him and walked away fast mumbling something... I imagine her calling us a couple of ungrateful negro's. We look at each other in disbelief and walk out. On the way, the waitress apologizes to us but we tell her it was ok. After all, we did get some free spring rolls and water.... LOL!
I had to get on a train early in the morning so we just went home since it was 1am. Needless to say, it was a very interesting evening.
I'm at my mom's now so I imagine I'il have more to blog about once the weekend is over. Stay tuned :)

2 What's on Your Write Mind?:
Maybe it's just me, just maybe. But um, salty fish rice and tofu doesn't sound like an appetizing meal. Plus, them China town joints do really do it for me all that well. But hey, at least you got free spring rolls and water, right?
salty fish rice, heck to the naw but tofu if cooked right can be down right tasty :)
