Ordering Food Posted by on Aug 30, 2009 in Vocabulary

The other day, I ordered one of my favorite foods, a 咖喱鸡饭套餐 (curry chicken set meal) complete with a 一杯冻奶茶 (cup of cold milk tea).  It was going to be great, but what I hadn’t counted on was the 商务流程 (business process) of this restaurant being 搞混 (mixed-up).  First, someone 上门 (came to my door) and 空着手 (empty-handed) said to me that they didn’t have the curry.  I ordered some other dish, and before long someone was back from 隔壁 (next door) with food- to my surprise it was the curry!
