I tried to think of a nicer title, but I just couldn't. You'd think if people walk into an international restaurant they should at least know what food is being served.
Anyway, I've had people order for food not found in a Chinese restaurant.
One time a lady asked for red curry (Thai?) but thankfully her husband corrected her.
Probably my biggest itches is when people confuse Chinese with Japanese, which happened a few months back.
(Taken down drink orders and walking away)
Stupid Lady: Excuse me?
Me: Yes?
SL: Do you have miso soup?
Me: O_O
SL: Do you have miso soup?
Me: O_O
Husband: Miso soup is Japanese
SL: Ohhhh
Me: (In my head)
I was so stunned I couldn't squeeze out my usual sarcastic answer.
I told my dad about it later and he told me that next time I should tell the customer:
"I think you can find some...in the shop next door...in a packet"
(Interestingly I've been to Chinese restaurants that serve teriyaki chicken)
Bloody hell, ordering miso soup at a Chinese restaurant is like ordering bangers and mash at an Italian restaurant.
There probably have been more stupid incidents, but I don't remember them all
BTW, is there a difference between Chinese Jasmine Tea and Green Tea? Is Green Tea just Jasmine Tea?
