The calculative accountant

I finally got a chance to put on my brand new pair of ALDO shoes yesterday as I went out to the mall for some recreational fun with a buddy in the evening. Since all the good seats for Avatar in 3D were sold out, we opted for a different kind of entertainment - a dolphins and sea lions show. There's a performing pair of marine mammals from Indonesia doing a world tour and since the both of us have never seen a real live dolphin up close, we decided that this would be our best chance. After getting our tickets for the 6:30pm show, we decided to have an early dinner. There's a newly opened restaurant named Fullhouse which is a contemporary store & cafe concept. A lot of attention has been paid to the whole scene, from the French maid-like costumes of the waitresses to the interior decor which makes it look like a French cafe with an anime twist. I felt like being part of a cartoon show as I stepped in. Sadly, the food could not even come close to being acceptable even though presentation was fine. My deep fried fish with wasabi sauce had been cooked and then re-cooked making it feel like chewing on rubber. My buddy's smoked salmon sandwich could not even beat mine - it was near impossible to cut through the bread roll with a bread knife as it seems that the bread roll had gone through the same process of double cooking as my fish. What a shame! But the best thing is after I paid the bill, the change was short by 5 cents and that's not even due to rounding! Needless to say, Fullhouse will never again get our patronage. For what my 5 cents are worth, I think the table adjacent to us heard our complaints and immediately left before making any orders :)
