It was Friday afternoon, not easy to have a free weekday to spend it with my wife and daughter, strolling in the Yaumatei-TST tourist shopping zone. We missed our lunch and decided to take a light meal in this cafe before going home for our dinner.I was the first one to order. The waitress double confirmed with me : Tea Set #17, Teriyaki Chicken Ramen in Chigoku sauce, with coffee. Yes, feeling assured, I smilingly looked on the other two members of my family, still flipping the menu, undecid
I was the first one to order. The waitress double confirmed with me : Tea Set #17, Teriyaki Chicken Ramen in Chigoku sauce, with coffee. Yes, feeling assured, I smilingly looked on the other two members of my family, still flipping the menu, undecided in what to eat. After speaking more than 10 minutes to each other, they finally made up their mind: my wife ordered a tenderous rib ramen and a teriyaki chicken ramen for my daughter.
We waited for 15-20 minutes, almost finished our coffee and tea which were served BEFORE the ramen. A few tables were occupied meanwhile by new came in guests. The first bowl brought to our table was, oops, the tenderous rib ramen. My wife was kind enough to share a small spoonful of ramen and a piece of rib with me. She wanted my approval that the dish was sub-standard. Well, the tenderous rib was OK, but I couldn't disagree with her that the noodle was not thorough cooked and the soup was cold. Another 5 minutes gone, the second bowl brought to us was, oops, the teriyaki chicken ramen. Meanwhile, my wife asked the waitress to remind the chef to cook the noodles more thoroughly. The waitress nodded and turned away.
It took about 10 minutes for my daughter to finish her dish, now it was the turn of the two female members of my familly looking at me smilingly, still waiting for my dish. Disgruntled and seeing the other tables brought with dishes after dishes, I asked the waitress to expedite my chigoku sauce ramen. The waitress nodded and turned away. Another 5 minutes gone, I told myself I shall wait for 5 more minutes, then we shall pay and leave.
Finally, the waitress came smilingly with a bowl, it was a teriyaki chicken udon. She asked if I wouldn't mind to take it. I said no, she said she'll ask the chef to do the right dish for me. I said sorry and we have to go. The waitress asked us to remain seated while she cancelled my dish in her ordering system. Finally we paid the two ramens and left.
I feel grateful for not charged for the cup of coffee I have taken.
