Some people might remember me telling them about the thingy with my favourite restaurant and the waitress, you know the extra rice when I told her I was hungry thingy...yup....it happened again just a different waitress this time....
So I was on my way to uni around lunch time and had to grab something to eat....guess where and what popped into my mind ==) Jajang myuen (Korean food) at my fav restaurant!!!!!
Headed along the ever busy and familiar Liverpool Street, down the small alley where it is located....had a growing anticipation for the food and also to see if anything has changed at the place, but to my delight nothing has, not the setting, not a single wine bottle out of place and those comfy cushions all still there!!!
The first thought was if the "sajang-nim" (boss) is in or not, 2nd was if the waitress is still the same one ( cause they usually change after around 3 months ).... I would soon find out as i step into the restaurant finding the boss' usual seat empty, the next was the waitress behind the counter....
She was talking to one of the cooks when i stepped into the restaurant, with a vision partially blocked she said her usual greeting (annyong*something* not the word "hi = annyong haseyo" but "welcome" )
The waitress was about to come out from behind the counter to pass me the menu when she leaned back to peer out from behind the counter for the 2nd time, taking another look at me again....This time her eyes flickered with recognition, said something to the cook about me, which I do not understand and was kinda surprised but greeted me with a more familiar friendly smile, maybe it was because I haven't been there for a long time or because my hair is curly now...lol
When the kimchi dishes came, I noticed a new extra plate which I've never seen before...it was in slices, yellow in colour and looked like something sold in a dried fruit store ( ok I don know what I am blabbing about but it's different alright ==P ) I didn't dwell on whether it was purposely given by her or just an extra dish they are serving.....
Another thing was the Jajang myuen...my goodness it was like 3 large packets of laksa or maybe more in one bowl....my stomach felt suddenly full, but I finished it anyway cause it's nice and not good to waste...hehe....before I actually finished my noodles she took out two small round thing on a plate for me, I was surprised as I did not order anything else (it was plums) and I thought to myself, wow now they are serving fruits for dessert...hahaha.....till I saw the other 3 tables and noticed they have one less kimchi dish and NO plums (saw her giving plums to her friends that came to look for her, plums might be her own, not from the restaurant)....making me suspect that she even added more noodles for me...lol
See...what did I tell you, treat the waitresses nicer, have a familiar place you go to, and you'll definitely get something out of it ==D Even if it's only for this time, I am happy, enough to make my day....I didn't forget to thank her and asked her to say hi to the boss for me before i left... ==D
