Where is My Food?? Grrrr!!!

That was me two Fridays ago and my partner last Friday. We were at our my favorite dinner venue, Goodness Greens.

In the first incident, my partner's food was served first and I was left waiting for more than 20 minutes. I was hungry and that wait made me angry. 

When my partner was almost finished, I told him that I wanted to cancel my order (merajuk mode on) and in my head, I thought that we could stop by the McDonald's drive thru and get me a Big Mac.

He was oblivious to my missing dinner as he was very tired. Seeing that his madam's face was turning into pontianak, he summoned the server and inquired about my order.

Within less than a minute, my food was served. I was so pissed off that I had no mood to snap a pic of my meal. As I tucked in, I noted that the food was cold. It must have been sitting on the counter and no one bothered to serve.

Then last Friday, it was my partner's turn to be stood up by the kitchen. My food came first and his was nowhere to be seen. My partner, like me the previous week, was clearly annoyed and signaled the server on his order.

The guy disappeared into the kitchen and stayed there for the longest time. My partner told me that he was going to cancel his order and just then, his dinner was served.

When we were paying at the cashier, my partner expressed his displeasure over the poor service. The cashier explained that the ordering system was faulty.

When he keyed in orders, a copy would have been transmitted to the kitchen terminal but that did not happen.  At the same time online orders were coming in and that was what the kitchen staff concentrated on. He was aware what happened to us the previous week. He said that he had informed his boss on the issue but the problem has yet to be rectified.

So what's with the food photo on this post? With two bad experiences in a row, I think my partner will veto Goodness Greens from our Friday dinner venue. Which means that if I want the sort of food served at the cafe, I would have to copycat in my kitchen.

Turmeric "rice" with roasted Teriyaki chicken thigh, mushrooms, broccoli and roasted cauliflower. Not a bad reproduction, if I may say so, minus the aggravation.
