Sym's Gourmet Center

well, it's been a while when we last ate in this fast-food center at time's square foodcourt. me, erwin and madel had lunch here one time and we ordered three different meals. erwin ordered tocilog first, then madel, being an islam, ordered for chicken-silog and i ordered a burger.

after a lapse of several minutes, an order came and we immediately assumed that it was erwin's. we didn't actually mind looking at it because at first look, you'll really know it's pork.

then we were talking and stuff when the second order came. we knew it'll be madel's because it's another rice meal and i only ordered a burger. we didn't quite notice the food because we were busy talking to each other when madel realized that it was pork which she was served with when she tasted it. wow!

we were surprised and so, we called the attention of one of the staff of the center. the girl came and looked at our orders. then she said that the chicken was the one that erwin was eating. it surprised us because we never expected that it'll be chicken because it looked exactly like pork.

so madel demanded for a change in order. at first, the staff declined, saying erwin should pay for it because he ate what was supposed to be madel's order. but we insisted that it wasn't our fault. initially, the busboy who served our orders should have told us which one was which. knowing that erwin ordered first, we assumed that it was his food that was first served.

so later on, the staff agreed to change the order and after a while, madel's chicken-silog was given. yeah, and it looked so much like chicken, not the one that erwin was eating a while ago. i examined the left meat carefully and looking at the color of it, it seemed to be more pork-like for me and not chicken. there's a lot of difference even if you just stare at it. a chicken has white meat, pork has red and chickens are more striated when you look at the meat.

it was really a terrible experience especially for madel who accidentally ate pork when she wasn't supposed to be. so a piece of advice to you. DON'T EAT AT SYM'S! hahaha!!

no seriously, when you order by bulk and it wasn't served at the same time, ask...ask the server what meal it is so that you can be assured that you're also eating the right order.

but of course, it should be the server's initial duty.jeez...
