UGH! I didn't get to update my blog yesterday... the shame! You still love me, right??

I used to like eating at the Company cafe. It's not because the food is good. Although I can tell the difference between good and bad, I'm not a picky eater when I'm eating by myself. But I liked the cafe food because it was relatively inexpensive, and it was convinient. Also, because I was friendly with the cooking staff, I was sure to always get a little something extra. More pasta, rice, sauce, etc. Hey, it's not much. But when you're hungry, every last morsel helps.

Ever since the head chef left, food has gotten poor. The taste has gone downhill significantly, the prices have risen a little, but the worst is the portions have gotten a LOT smaller. I stopped eating there, and started either going out or packing my lunch.

Out of desperation, I went up to the cafe like 3 weeks ago, hungry as Jenny Craig on a 3 month Slim Fast, Ultra Shake, count-them-numbers diet. I saw curry chicken, and I'm like, YES! I love me some curry chicken. So I order it to go, (I never eat in the cafe for some reason), and the portions were so sickly small, I was looking for the toy to go along with my Happy Meal. I felt like I was in grade school. Geez.

Now I'm normally a very passive person. (Believe it or not). Maybe because I'm Chinese or whatever, so I'm bred to take it and not complain. But I had had enough. I'm not paying $5 for meals that's worth $2.50. Hehe, I know it sounds cheap, but let it be known that I live near the new Chinatown, so I can have food for $3.99, and I get a drink. Just bear with my rant, okay?

Anyhow, I told the guy who served me: "Look buddy, do I look 12? I'm old enough to eat adult portions you know! I mean, I'm not ordering from the kid's menu, am I?!" Well, even with that tone of voice, I was able to wink and smile, trying to defuse the situation. Let's face it, they only work there.

I went back up today for lunch, Curry Chicken. And guess what?

I got a heap load of food.

...Never underestimate the power of whining.
