Yesterday, we had our dinner at Rasta. A happening place that is located in front of Puteri Restaurant and also it is in between Taman Tun Dr. Ismail and Sungai Penchala.
We ordered Sweet and Sour chicken and omelette for my kids whi I finally got my dim sum. The thing is, this always happen whenever I order for my kids. I always emphasize that "Tak nak pedas langsung, no sayur, no bawang" Kids, they just hate all that. Somehow, the cook or the waiter/tress just don't get it. They still make it spicy (pedas)m somehow they still put onion (bawang). The vegies are the only part that they usually able to catch and got it right.
So, yesterday, I got really bengang, so I went to see the cook. I told him, I requested for "Sweet and Sour", This is spicy. pedas. Do you know what the cook answered. "Next time, If do not want pedas ask for kicap dish not sweet and sour.
The thing is... Sekolah masak mana dia belajar, Sweet and sour and pedas. Sah-sah the name of the dish is sweet and sour. Where got the word spicy or pedas. Do i need to bring dictionary everytime I order for kids? If Sweet, Sour and pedas combine, That is already a diferent dish. It is called Tiga Rasa. and if I am not mistaken that is Thai Food. While Sweet and Sour is Chinese Food. Seriously... do I really to bring dictionary to get my order clear...?
