Broken communication at the cost of cheesecake
went buy take-out from a "Sandwich Salad Place"... i was told. got a patong (yes, SE asia's patong beef's patong) beef ribs with brown rice, and a totally american smoked turkey with cranberry jam and avocado sandwich in 5-grain bread. and a totally HK-ese coffee mocha. i always say we are so lucky living in this international tiny spot on the globe.
called sifu while waiting for the food to see if she needed sth. "at a Sandwich Salad Place..." I said. "no... i need rice...". no problem, this is exactly the beauty of getting take-out - flexibly lunching together.
"Sandwich Salad Place" suggested me ordering $35 more to make it a $100 purchase to get 2 pcs of cheesecake (which priced total at $50) free!! oh well, could not figure out how could I boost up my original $65 order by more than 50% to make it a deal. gave up.
met buddies back at office and everybody acknowledged my lunch from the "Healthy Place". ic. sifu wanted brown rice from there too if she would have known i was at the "Healthy Place". oh well... it's the "Sandwich Salad Place" so where's the rice??
yeah... would have got the $50 cheesecake too if I would have known... about getting rice from the "Sandwich Salad Place"
btw, the cheesecake offer available only on 7, 14, 21 and 28 November

finally got plugged in... hopefully, let me try...
had a 'networking' lunch with other teams of my division... tried a new upstair 'club' for members only... had baked cheese with crab roe and fish on rice... not too bad... no (nice) surprise either... and their house coffee? well... when you don't have cova, illy, starbucks, pacific coffee or even pokka or keywest nearby, don't expect too much...
