Where: Gourmet Plus
Scene: 2 tables occupied - one group of 5, and another group of 3.
Enter waiter with menus, flipped to Breakfast page
Sir and Madam look through available options. They had anticipated an all-day brunch menu... Italian (?) boss (?) approaches, informing them the Breakfast menu is on the back page.
Sir and Madam are ready to order. Waiter arrives.
Sir: We will have a Croque Madam for the lady, and I will have The Works.
Waiter: How would you like the eggs done?
Suggests poached, scrambled, sunny side up
Sir: Poached, please
Waiter: Drinks?
[has anyone noticed that 99% of waitstaff here just use that one word? - just like they do at McD!]
Mdm: A latte please.
Sir debates if he should have a second coffee so early in the day.
Sir: Hot Chocolate.
Waiter: Are you sharing The Works?
Mdm: Is it that big, the serving size?
Waiter: No... Something like that over there (points to table nearby)
Waiter departs with order. Sir and Mdm chat. Background: Screaming child and PSP/Nintendo DS sounds. There are no salt or pepper shakers on the tables.
Drinks arrive.
Followed by The Works
Waiter: Mdm, you are not having anything to eat?
Sir: We ordered a Croque Madame, didn't we?
Waiter: Oh!! Oh!! So sorry. We will rush that out right away.
Sir and Mdm continue to chat. Mdm notices her drink is on the bluer side of lukewarm.
Sir begins on his The Works. The sausage is slightly puffed / soggy (though Mdm likes that it is not salty), but the bacon has probably spent longer than it should have the deep-fryer.
Croque Madame arrives (topped off with a bright, shiny egg)
** The End **
Oh, dear. Beloved and I would recommend instead:
1. Choupinette (607 Bukit Timah Road #01-01; 6466 0613) even though it can feel (only) slightly angmohphilic
2. Peperoni Pizzeria (6 Greenwood Avenue, Hillcrest Park; 6465 6556)
