gIf Sizzler had a news-worthy angle or a selling point for customers it would not just be the Salad buffet that Singaporeans love.
wanna know more?
read on...
A catchy headline of that ad would proclaim something along the lines of:
"Come the see the fine balancing act of saucers,
plates and soup bowls of the Sizzler staff"
>insert appropriate pic<the copy: be entertained endlessly throughout your meal! Feel free to pile your plates and soup bowls on our very talented waiters and waitresses.
*rolls eyes
hehe.
well its true. I don't mean*cough to blow my trumpet or anything.
But it is an art, requiring technique to carry 4-6 layers of plates on your arm, while manouvering around tables and people.
I get a kick too when, little kids go, " Oooh, mama look that girl can carry so many plates. Waaa...."
or even
aunties who go "Are you sure you can manage?", "of course!" is the natural reply and you go on piling on and on endlessly.. Just grin and bear it.
Then in the kitchen your arm burning in agony from the weight is finally relieved of the burden and you can't help but examine the red indents the plates have left on the underside your arm, giving it the fresh look of scars left after multiple suicide attempts on your wrists and forearms.
My favourite dish, I have to say is the Teriyaki Chicken.
It comes on a kidney shaped hotplate which is literally sizzling hot when served. It sizzles a nice aromatic teriyaki sauce (that's sometimes a lil' suffocating and irritating to the nose) and spurts a little(oil, sauce whatelse?). However, it is hot to the touch. See the hotplate is placed atop a regular plate, but no matter its still kinda hot. You can't avoid it or deny it. But the multitude of expressions on customers faces, makes it priceless to serve nonetheless. It ranges from awe and wonder to horrified, its-gonna-spurt - in-my-face look (get it far,far away). heh. Never fails to get their neighbouring tables a look in the teriyaki chicken's direction.
Now, that is a rousing entrance no other any other dish can make.
heh.
All in a day of a waitresses' life!:D
Dreaming of a new day ahead!;
Just making my way through the crowd
