Delicatessen: Miramar Ala Carte Buffet
Watched Band of Brothers? This was 4 good army pals in a buffet.
We made a strong entrance with our alleged presence but was put to this tiny table with four chairs. I felt I've been put in the wrong table and so I called the waiter over and told him for a change, and at the same time to boast of the Western education I've received to be comparably outspoken since I had only met them once after being back.
"We need a bigger table so as to hold up the number of plates"
"Oh, that's not a problem. You can order slowly, then there will be space" said the scrawny waiter.
I tried more than this but was bound to fail because he could leave the table and condemn us to this puny little weeny table, our thighs almost rubbing each others' at each corner... ...
The food came as our massive campaign to bring down the restaurant started. It was a good start. We cleared the plates before new ones came. And we were left wandering why the food came so slowly... ...
Ultimately, our capacity died down. This is a disappointment and I have to be embarassed to say this, but for reason of entertainment and too much free time, I mention this. More plates came, and the waiters purposefully made the effort to squeeze in new plates as the previous plates could not be cleared. The meal was then ended with 4 different dishes of crab...with one member claiming that he doesnt eat crab!
The band of brothers ordered a regroup and a ceasefire was called up.
"See lah. The table so small, now cannot even put in the new plates. And why the 4 ppl beside us get a bigger table?!" I said.
"Because they are better than us what...look at them! They've started before us and they're still eating so much! They deserve the table lah...."
"Wah you just now say until you can eat so much to the waiter...ask for big big table some more...now we are having such a difficult time...lose face lor..."
We were dwindling but we were still strong for dessert.
"3 of each," I said, "For the ones that have not come, you can stop the order if they have not been prepared...And make sure you do that. We will not eat them when the dessert comes."
The waitress went back to check and gave us the assurance that those orders have been forgotten.
I was relieved for a minute, then the scrawny waiter came back from behind me.
"There's still one more Ah!" He examined the order sheet a few times before crossing the last of the few uncrossed.
And he brought over a plate of carrot cake of the largest size.
"Wah so small ah!" I exclaimed.

The food was very much pretencious by the way but the menu was extensive and fanciful.
