Another two days past, and I'm trying to keep up with the blogging. As work stays pretty much the same, at least for the first day I'm going to describe, I'll keep it short.
Started the monday at 8, instead of 9, and had breakfast in the restaurant yet again, as we still hadn't moved rooms at the time. Work was long and rather fun, though we had only two supervisors to help us out as others were off, or doing the afternoon/evening shift. The supervisor I was supposed to help out hasn't got the best reputation out there, resulting in the manager telling me "to do everything completely different from how she explains" or something along those very lines.
I ended up just taking some of her work to do it all alone instead and later report back to her with what I've done on her account. Spent the day without much hassle, working on getting my own act together and develop my own ways in here.
That night Bart and I went out, during Labor Day, to find out pretty much everything was closed. However, next to Galleria there's a place called Seasons 52, with P.F. Chang's in the same building. We took a glance at the menu and decided to eat in.
This oriental restaurant had a really great, authentic setting and after we were seated, our waiter for the night explained a little about the restaurant, and more important, the menu card. He seemed to know a lot about the items on there and also told us what the signature dishes were, and what other things he'd like to recommend.
We followed him completely, and after he got Bart his Coke and me my freshly made Lemonade (in it's purest form, water with lemon's squished in there, filled with ice. It was sooooo good) we went to order what he pointed out. We started with chicken-filled lettuce rolls for the both of us. Receiving a plate with stir-fried noodles and chicken and a few pieces of lettuce to wrap it in to make our own little rolls. Really was a great thing with crispy noodles, soft pieces of chicken and warm and cold contrasts. Loved it.
Almost instantly after we were done we received our main courses. No waiting involved, perfect timing and great food.
Bart went for Honey Chicken, and I took Chang's Spicy Chicken. Both were restaurant recommendations/specials. Both were served with white rice. Both were damn tasty.
Eating most of it with sticks (I managed nicely after Bart explained) and drinking two glasses, getting really full, we decided to skip desserts, for then.
We'll have a chance to get those later again, as we'll definately be back!
With the bill, we also got some fortune cookies. For a little more fun, the waiter told us to add the words "in bed", which resulted in me getting the already famous line "An exciting opportunity lies ahead if you are not timid (in bed)". We'll keep that in mind!
Best thing of all, we ended up paying under 40 bucks with the two of us! That with great service, good food, a great server and just a nice night out.
Walked back home, went to bed pretty much instantly after we got back.
Tuesday was another day without any supervisors so I did the same tour as I did before, only coordinated some more with Bart and his supervisor Nataly, a girl from Belarus who's just really funny and good at what she does. Liked being around the both of them, joking around all the time and working in the meantime.
We switched rooms today. Bart and I now share one, and we spent the night in the room, looking up comedy fragments on youtube and enjoying some laughs. We'll head to bed soon I guess (it's 11 now, and even though we have an offer to head to the Irish pub, we do need to work again tomorrow, and haven't had a day off to rest ever since we landed, yet).
For a song, since I wanted it to be about food and memories, I picked Feeder's "Feeling The Moment".
