Stop doubting my orders!

We had dinner at White Dog Cafe, Vivo last evening. My 'brilliant' suggestion. I had somewhat good experience the previous time and I guess it is not a bad idea to visit them a second time.

If you ask me, it is somewhat a lil' digusting to have dog fur/hair as the cover of the menu. That puts me off a lil' when I was to order.

I guess they have all the trainees from Shatec. Clearly none that came to serve us is local. A lil' annoying when you hear your orders pronounced the wrong way and I thought I ordered the wrong stuff.

I ordered Aglio Olio. I ordered Aglio Olio more than 5 times outside and I know Aglio Olio is nothing but pasta and garlic,chili and olive oil. Waitress A in her accent which I couldn't make up (I even ask Vonx what was she talking about), was trying to tell me it is just plain pasta and sound like I don't know what my orders are. She explained to me and I think she just wanna ask if I would like any toppings with it.

"Yea, I know it is just pasta and I want that only." My answer to her and she walked off.

I thought that is too much garlic for liking and simply no fragrance for it.

We carried on talking, laughing and crying. I swore that I would drink coffee and again when I made my order,it happened again.

I ordered Paddy creame (Peppermint choco coffee?). Waitress B told me that my order is similar to another one in the menu. I KNOW my orders. I am literate and I can read the description. I know there are 2 coffees in the menu which are similar but just take my order. I didn't came to Singapore only yesterday.

Granted they are trying to be helpful, trained to be so but it is kinda plucking my nerves. I had asked specifically to hold the whipped cream and had heard Waitress B repeating my orders before she went off.

My drink still came with cream on top nonetheless.

Chocolate fudge cake. It is the other thing than ice cream for me to trade my soul. (Not.)

I have a few suggestions for you if you decide to pop them a visit.

1)Wear a jacket. It's gonna get cold eventually.

2)Wear a label that says, "I do NOT welcome suggestions." or "Just take my orders.Stop talking."

3)Try not to order Aglio Olio.

4)Just give them the dish numbers and try not to pronounce it. They will still pronounce it the wrong way for you eventually.

The sky is gonna bawl anytime soon. Guess it's time for me to hit the toilet and sing to the iron, dance with the broom and the mop before giving my body a scrub.

Mon-liday. Ends faster than you can even think about it.
