Ordering food at Restaurant Experience Vocabulary
I get many surprises each year at my birthday party. This time, it was extraordinary. As my family and friends went the extra mile to make me happy. They arrange for a party at a restaurant. Restaurants are a dime a dozen here. So, they choose a famous one for this business.
We were all sitting on a nice round table. It was time to book an order. It was me to do that first. The waiter brought me a menu. It was the first time there. You know when pigs fly, it was difficult for me to place an order. My father said it is easy as pie. Just go through the menu. I went bananas when I saw the menu. There were four sections made. The first one was for the main course, the second one for the side dishes and the third one for the drinks. The last one preserved for the deserts.
I ordered a cheeseburger and some fries for me. I also requested the side dishes too. My brother ordered a hamburger with kebabs. But the waiter said, “I am sorry cheeseburgers are off” Then he chooses to have pizza. My mother wanted to taste a sandwich. My father requested a Fish sandwich and Spinach salad.
Later My father ordered two coffees, two teas, a glass of lemonade, and aperitif for all of us. For the dessert, I requested my mother to go with the ice cream. After some waiting, we were served with the order. The food and drinks were very delicious. We enjoyed and made that moment special by satisfying our taste buds. My father asked for the bill. He also added a tip there.
That was a special day!
