Secret behind success of Chinese restaurant business

Yep I think I finally realised why so many americans prefer oriental food. I was at an oriental restaurant today and I was alone so had time to observe ppl around me.... The most exciting part of a chinese dinner is when the waitress gets you the check with your fortune cookies. Been to a lot of these places and I realised that the idea of breaking a cookie to read your fortune gets everyone excited.... very few actually eat the cookie. Moreover everyone gets just one cookie so you better make sure that you get one. Many just stare at the piece of paper trying to recollect a part of their day which justifies their fortune as mentioned on that tiny piece of paper. I have always wondered how they get that paper into the cookie...

here's a tip.. add "in the bed" to whatever is written in ur fortune chit.

I personally don't like Chinese food... the food is very bland... they have wierd names too 'Moo Goo Gai Pan' hahhaha. Thai food is a lot better... One should try the Red Chilly Curry with coconut milk... At Hannover we tried a Thai place... I always order the Red Chicken Curry whenever I go to a Thai place... The waitress was a short middle aged Thai lady. She asked me if I want my curry mild, medium or hot. In US mild = totally bland, medium= somewhat bland and hot = edible. So I told her I'd prefer hot. She asked me again if I need it hot? I replied in affirmative. We ordered some german beer and were sipping it when she served us. She said "hope you enjoy your dinner" with a twinkle in her eyes. I then realised that the Thai mean it when they say hot. This is no US brother.... I was huffing and puffing in no time. Kenny who was born in Laos told me that I made a mistake when I ordered it hot. Yeah maan I would have appreciated if you would have told me that a bit earlier. The waitress found this whole thing funny. She would inquire again and again if I was doing alright, get me water and giggle. Maan she totally screwed me that day. I suspect she must have told the cook to make it extra spicy since some stupid indian guy had confidently ordered it hot.

I still dig Thai food but will never again make the mistake of ordering it hot.
