Bad Sign?

Going to try a new restaurant tonight near my work, thinking it should be an interesting dining experience.

I was looking yesterday to find somewhere for dinner that was close to work as we are going straight from work. I so I did a google search for restaurants in this area and below are some of the places came up:

  • Subway (sandwich)
  • Souvlaki Hut (greek)
  • Chilli (comfort food)

This makes me wonder a few things; firstly why are the only places coming up fast food /takeaway food? And secondly what is comfort food?

Ok so after some slim pickings I ended up choosing a Malaysian “restaurant” and gave them a call. I know my first warning sign should have been when the first person had no idea what I meant by “can I book a table?” and put me onto someone else. I then sent the address for dinner to my work colleague who mentioned that the address was near her house but as far as she knew there were only houses in the area.

Ok second warning sign was that the address listed in the yellow pages was their home address and the “restaurant” was somewhere else.

So when we got to dinner it turned out it was a small takeaway shop with a table right up against the counter.

So we ended up having Chinese.
