What’s in the name? A lot!

Not a very polite way–rather a rude way to welcome a guest, I thought.

You first allow the guest to settle, make them feel comfortable, maybe offer a drink, and then pass the menu for the order. But here, I was thrust the menu right on my face and that too right at the entrance of the restaurant! Why would you look at the menu even before you have taken a seat? The waiter started to explain that the menu included Pan Asian items from Japan, China, Thailand, and so on. Now, wait a minute, you first thrust the menu and explain the menu has Pan Asian items! Do you think I am a fool to not know that and book a table at the restaurant? How rude, I thought. I just entered the restaurant and took a seat. I did not want to make any fuss about it, for my daughter wanted to eat Sushi—a vegetarian one! So, here we were at place that served one.

Over the weekend I visited a restaurant, Asian Curry, with my family. It was a nice experience travelling for a change on the Bengaluru Metro train and not driving through the weekend traffic. It took around 60 minutes to reach the place and cost just about the same if I had driven. But then, without the tension and effort of driving, it was well worth the cost.
