Sakae My Dick…


…If I had a dick

I think I derserve one sometimes
My own, I mean, not someone else’s


AdamPoserPan and I are rushing for a play but we’re dying to get some grub first

So we hurriedly stop by The Curve to eat at Sakae Sushi
It’s my first time there and appearances do not hinder

Very simple. All I want is a plate of salmon sashimi, swordfish sashimi and yasai tempura, please.
Yes, just three things, thank you.

We wait ages for our drinks
After asking the waiter where our drinks are (again), they come

15 minutes later, the waitress tells me that there is no more salmon
No more salmon in a Japanese restaurant during lunch hour?


Abominable!


“It’s okay,” I reply, “I’ll just have the swordfish and tempura then.”
“Okay,” she says and goes off

How ridiculous
Why couldn’t she tell me that when I order my food or just after that?
Instead of waiting so long sheesh

 

I wait

 

And wait

 

Adam waits

 

And waits

 

The ice is melting in our drinks

We’re afraid we’re going to be late for the play and constantly check the time

Impatient and hungry, I stand up and approach the belt filled with sushi, whizzing merrily along
We didn’t sit at the booths there because we didn’t have time to stand in line and settled for the side seats at the teppanyaki bar


I see salmon

Wait… sure or not…
I stare at it
I swear that’s salmon
What ELSE could it be?
Salmon is salmon

But she said there wasn’t any more salmon!

I got damn emo
I really wanted salmon!
Bloody bitch was lying to me!

Three more plates of salmon wink pass me before I snatch a plate up and stalk back to my chair
“Look. There *is* salmon after all.”
“Huh.”

As I was blissfully enjoying my salmon, the waitress comes up to me again
“Urm, miss. Sorry but there isn’t any swordfish either.”

Okay. This is happening again.
First she takes really long to tell me there is no salmon.
Then she takes really long to tell me there’s no swordfish either.

I look up at her with a straight face and go, “It’s okay. Seems I have found some salmon. Even though you said there wasn’t anymore… So nevermind. No swordfish is fine with me.”

As I dig into my salmon, poor boyfriend is squirming in his seat and shaking his leg
Food taking bloody long

Finally, something arrives
A plate of teppanyaki
AdamPoserPan ordered a set but the strange thing is, the entire set is served at different intervals

0_o

Few minutes after the beef, then came the veggie… Ookay
The poor dear picks at it, waiting for the rice to arrive
Then it comes
Later on, the soup is set on the table

Uh-huh.


Where’s my tempura…. Where’s my tempura…. You’re KIDDING me, I ordered tempura 35-40 minutes ago…

They don’t even have to cook it! Do they?
I have no idea and sigh

I walk over to the conveyor belt and grab at another plate – squid sushi

Okay. I have eaten four slivers of salmon and two pieces of sushi in 40 minutes.

I am going to starve and die.

Boyfriend’s almost done with his food and I know I need my tempura now pronto, else we’re definitely going to be late!
I stop a male waiter and sweetly ask him whether he could check on my tempura
(I’m always damn nice before I get my food in case they spit into it… or worse :p )
He says he will and not too bad, he’s back in a tic

“Miss, there is no order for tempura at your table… but I just put one down for you, it’ll come in 5 minutes,” he said apologetically
“What!?” I glanced at AdamPoserPan who looks equally shocked
“Baby we don’t have time…” he said slowly
“Yeah, I know… it’s okay. Just cancel it please cos I’m really in a rush,” I told the waiter with a forced smile


I felt like crying
Cos there is no worse feeling then waiting and waiting for food to come and… they forgot you
It’s the same feeling as your parents forgetting to pick you up from school when you’re a kid

I turned into a little kid for 2 seconds, really woebegone and almost in tears
But no. I’m 23. Act like an adult godfuckingdammit.

I was hungry!

I sat there for so long!

EVERYTHING I ordered didn’t come to me!!!

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

The two plates of sushi I had was because *i* took the initiative to walk to the damn conveyor belt

“Who placed my order? I don’t remember,” I asked APP
“That girl there,” he pointed out with his chopsticks

I looked at her and she wasn’t near us, so I didn’t bother saying anything to her
As we were walking towards the counter, my eye was still on the girl but she was talking to another waiter
We were lack of time so fine, I didn’t bother stopping and just walked past her

We rushed to pay and… there is one counter for the whole restaurant
And with that one counter is a nice long queue

0_o

So we waited -_-‘
Suddenly I saw the waitress standing alone, just behind me
Since I’m waiting, might as well tell her I’m hungry and sad right

So I turned to her
“Excuse me, do you remember just now… I ordered a salmon and swordfish sashimi and a yasai tempura?”

“Yeah,” she nodded her head

“Well first you told me there was no more salmon… and there was so much salmon on the belt,” I gestured with my fingers, “… and then you told me there was no more swordfish, which was fine really, cos I was waiting for my tempura, but the tempura never came. So I called for a waiter and he said that there wasn’t even an order put down for it… and I couldn’t wait for it in the end cos I’m in a rush,” I explained with a wry smile

“Oh! I’m sorry… so sorry… I think there must be some mistake on the system…” she apologized

“Well… just letting you know that I waited so long and nothing that I ordered came. The only two things I ate, I took from the belt myself.”

I said it all very slowly with a disappointed smile

I wasn’t even being bitchy like in Kenny Rogers’ at Genting because I was just so hungry, so tired of waiting, and pretty upset; that instead of turning into the evil condescending criticizer which I do so well, I felt like pouting sadly like a 5-year-old and bawling my head off instead.

Sigh.

We walked out of the restaurant – me with my unsatisfied tummy and AdamPoserPan with his grim face.
I thought he was pissed off cos we might be late for the play.
“No, just the bad service.”
“I know…”

We bumped into MichelleNightstar outside KLPac
She was waiting for her Josh_W cos he woke up late heh heh
She told us she ordered Chawamushi there before as well and the brought her some black jelly stuff instead because Chawamushi ran out

Naturally, she sent it back

Have you ever? Served a customer something different without asking them just cos you ran out of what they want??

Ugh, damn tak puas

So after the play, I ran off and stuffed myself with snacks like McDs nuggets, Papa Beard cream puffs, San Fran ice blended mocha and beer at Champs.

Yay

Apparently the Papa Beard cream puffs are damn famous in NYC and Japan
They’ve got newspaper clippings off crowds lining up down the streets just to buy these Papa Beard Cream Puffs

But go to Midvally Megamall (it’s in the middle on the LG floor)
And there’s noone lining up. At all.

I Love Love Love the cream and it just OOZES out of the puff when i bite into it
OMG GLORIOUS CAN DIE

“Mmmf why doesn’t *anyone* like the puffs?” I mumble as i munch into one
“Maybe Malaysians aren’t really into cream stuff,” said QueenKanch
“Mffff.” I was too busy devouring my puff.

Pics from that day:

Us four went to watch The Fastest Clock In The Universe

My favourite was Ari Ratos, his role was so convincing and endearing that i could easily imagine his existence
Gavin Yap’s character was pensive and made me hold my breath at bits
And oh yes, everyone knows about how he’s swaggering around the stage half naked

“Why don’t *you* have a body like that?” i whispered to Smellie
“Why do you have a tummy like that?” he quickly teased back, pointing at Ari’s tummy
I pinched him

I loved the script, i wasn’t bored at all and it seemed like the two hours flew by
Though i don’t think everyone enjoyed it as much  >_<

Gavin’s still got his make up on
And wee! Niki looks so happy in the picture! Haha

Even though my head looks distortedly small here… 0_o

    Sakae incident happened to me on Monday. We ordered loads of nonsense but none came. The most ridiculous part that made me blew? They brought us the plain rice 40 minutes later, with no dishes to eat with.

    We left and drove to Mosin instead.

    fail.

    Yea sakae sushi was kinda wierd.. haha. i blinked in disbelief when i opened the cap of the cup and saw BLACK.

    “Uh, is this how cawamushi looks like here?” I asked Josh.. Josh was like equally blur and he was like “Could be..!” So I took a dig at the black jelly thing and some yellow stuff floated up..I was like “Eeewww! I’m not eating rotten cawamushi!”

    So we called the waiter and he explained they ran out of cawamushi and that black glob was YAMmushi “Is it ok?” he then asked. Wahhh. Bravo. No. We asked him to take it back.

    Buts yea your experience sounds reaaal bad! Hahahahhhahaa im SO the feel-like-crying sort when my food is forgotten… but ooh i doubt i’d be as diplomatic as you ;]

    I came out of FCITU feeeling cheated cos the play review was damn misleading. I wouldn’t have paid RM50 for it. But yea.. Gavin’s abs was ommmmmmmmmmggggggggg! And yea. At least I found out i’ve got the FCITU 😉

    I’ve been to Sakae Sushi several times and every single time they do not have salmon. And yet salmon constantly swims before my eyes on the conveyor belt. Next time the better choice for Jap would be Ton Chan right above Kenny Rogers. At least they have everything there and its about the same price.

    Rat sushi? The Japanese, however, do have their fair share of food outlets with questionable hygiene in Japan, though. But they are efficient.

    There was that one time before the last in Sakae where we sat outside and ordered and it all came pretty quickly and the food was not bad. I guess that was a once-in-a-lifetime. BTW Yurisan next to KLPAC isn’t exactly very good too.

    Yeah I woke up late because the previous night wasn’t an early night, and I had to get up fairly early in the morning to pick up my bro from KLIA. The Fastest Clock? Hmmm. I guess its funniness is proportionate to the viewer’s openmindedness. But yeah, those ppl who took our seats after the intermission, they really simply whack.

    Yeah my sister told me about how (pardon the pun) sucky Sakae sushi is – because Genki Sushi raised their prices we have been trying to find a new place to eat – and since Sakae had their own rendition of Genki maki, she tried it out but yeah – same deal lah … bad service. And the food wasn’t even that great.

    *shrugs*

    I’ll just stick to making my own.

    Hey..

    Was just clicking at random at Michele’s new blog and came upon this..

    I believe I was at the same show that day for FCITU.. but I was horrendously late. Enjoyed it though. As for Sakae Sushi, the one time that I went for it. It was pretty good and pretty quick.. but that was like maybe close to half a year ago.. standards must have dropped since then since so many people are lambasting it..

    but nice journal.. it’s fun to read =)
