‘Enjoy’
September 1st, 2009
We went to Sinh Sinh restaurant in Houston over the weekend. Frankly, $98 for a “lẩu” was a little on the pricey side, but it includes lobsters, oysters, shrimps, and a bunch of other fancy stuff. Amusingly, our waitress only knows one word of English, “enjoy.”
Us: “Excuse me, can we get more water?”
Waitress (bringing water): “Enjoy.”
Us: “Hi, can we get some chopsticks?”
Waitress (bringing chopsticks): “Enjoy.”
Us: “Can we get the check?”
Waitress (bringing check): “Enjoy.”
Us (fighting for the check): “Can you put it on this card?”
Waitress (bringing back the receipt): “Enjoy.”
Us: “Where’s the bathroom?”
Waitress (pointing to the back): “Enjoy.”
Us: ???
LOL You always have the funniest things to say. I have days like that when I go to a chinese restaurant. You order something, yet you get something totally different. Sometimes it’s good and others not so.
LOL.
Why didn’t you communicate in Viet?
We did initially. She just stared back blankly. So we figured she was Chinese.
