Friday blues
This is crazy.This is not how a Friday is supposed to work.
Damnit.
I HATE Thinsoft!
There. I've come right out and said. In fact, i'll say it again...
I HATE HATE HATE Thinsoft!!!!!!
Ah, much better.
Okay, now that I have let it out...and i need to destress by digressing from work and talking about my dinner with Justin at Uberburger yesterday.
The famed Uberburger was a disappointment.
And no, i didn't try the notoriously expensive 101 Burger. No way I'm paying a 100 bucks just for bread and meat. 100 bucks can buy me a one way ticket to Thailand, so there's no chance i'll spend that kind of $$$ on food.
BTW, the menu is ridiculously hard to read. We both got quite tired trying to figure out each entry... there are no pictures! WTH right? A menu with no pictures??!!! Ridiculous.
I pay $$$ and am supposed to second-guess how my food looks like?! Nonsense!
Anyhow, I ordered item 01 on the menu, which was something of a piece of steak with tomatoes, onions and sauce sandwiched between 2 really thick slices of bread. Haha...my burger was done "medium rare" okay!
And because the entire thing (yes, i consider it a "thing" rather than a burger) was so huge...my jaws (and believe i speak for Justin as well) got quite tired with all the chewing. I've never felt more like a cow in my life. Mooooo!
To give the devil its due, the food wasn't so bad..Just rather tiring to eat.
BUT the atmosphere (which i believe was paid for by way of the price of the burgers) was really less than desirable. It actually felt a little stuffy..and the servers were talking really quite loudly among themselves and across the restaurant. Sigh.
BTW, 90% of the servers were Malay. Interesting, isn't it? And I didn't even see the word "Halal" anywhere on the premises...Or maybe i was just being blind, as usual.
Anyway, the number of Malay servers at Uberburger has led me to conclude that Uberburger is really just a jacked-up version of the humble Ramlee.
Chey!
p/s: Thanks for the dinner, Justin. :)
