my jap fren stopped by singapore on wed night ns tayed over at my place. she brought my boss's bread. my god...it's like a gift from heaven. the yeasty aroma from the bread brings back so many fond memories. my boss asked my fren to give me some rye flour so that i can make rye bread at home. wat a boss! u know, since i left sydney, he was featured twice in the sydney morning herald. he deserves it. he works 18hrs a day, six days a week. his undying passion n quest for the perfect loaf keeps him going. ok, enuff abt bread.
tell ya all sthg abt work. as u know, there's an ongoing promotion at the bar n billiard room @ raffles and last fri night, they had stir fried lobster with pasta. it was like cooked infront of the guest n the greedy dinosaurs did not fail to "bombard" that station till all the lobsters were finished. then there's this guy who went up to the station 5 times already asked "no more lobsters ah". the chef said that it's all finished. "so fast? is it u all cutting cost?" of coz the chef said no. come on lah, these greedy dinosaurs..no mater how many lobsters u put there, it's enver enuff.
anyway, there's a live lobster on display n it jumped out of the "tank" when some of the guests disturbed it. i dunno if i got this right but i'm 100% sure the lobster jumped out. then that guy who went to the lobster pasta station 5 times went up to the chef n asked "excuse me, can u grill this for me?" "i'm sorry sir, i can't grill this." the guest just didn't understand that ccertain things are not for consumption n pressed on " if u can't grill this, can u cook it in any other way?"
my god...the chef told him straight that it's strictly for display. can faint right? singaporeans are gluttons.
i hope that's entertaining. other than that, my work's fine. but every week i begin to discover that i'm working with two slcakers. well well well..that's life.
