Sushi fail
Dec. 23rd, 2009 03:06 pmLast week Amanda and I made plans to go out for sushi today. We decided to go to Asian Cafe, a newish place that she likes. Shortly after we got there three people came in: mom, dad and crying toddler. Amanda commented that it was just our luck that there be a baby. They joined a big table; ten or twelve people were already seated. (The baby, incidentally, ceased crying right away and was never a problem. She did come visit me for a minute and try to take my cutlery but I took it away from her and her mama came and got her.)
We read the lunch menu, asked some questions ("What's in a South Beach roll?" The waiter didn't know, because it's not listed on the full menu either.) and ordered the lunch special 2 for 1 sushi rolls.
Then we waited. A long time. Just about when we started to wonder where our food was, the waiter came back to say "we're out of rice." *boggle* He explained that the big table had ordered "a lot" and sushi rice takes a long time to make (which is true enough). Ooooohkay...so we ordered from the Vietnamese/Chinese side of the menu. Both of us wanted hot & sour soup.
More waiting. Another reappearance by the waiter. "We're out of hot & sour soup. Do you want egg drop?" No, we really didn't. "Would you like miso?" Yes, actually, we would.
The eventual food was tasty, but wow, that was a two-hour lunch that normally should have taken less than one, and still NO SUSHI!
