speaking of food ... I had an interesting encounter yesterday
with Chinese takeout ...
we were trawling the phonebook for a new joint, when an "special
combo" caught our eyes ... Chicken fried rice, stir-fried veggies,
spicy szechuan beef, and dry ribs for only C$7.95 !!! ....
an ang moh friend of mine dialled the number and ordered for the
three of us ... and along came three HUGE styrofoam packets filled
with a monster mound of fried rice surrounded by three mounds of
veggies, beef, and ribs ..... none of us could finish it all in one
sitting ... there were so much of it ... we even got fortune
cookies ! ...
so I spread the word ... one Chinese chap ordered the same today
... but speaking to them in mandarin .... to his chargrin, he got
only a dinky little box half my size .... with downsized servings
of everything ... no fortune cookies either ... so he gave a call
back to them ... and was told that what he got was an asian sized
serving ! ...
