DIARY OF THE VEGETARIAN HAVEN RESTAURANT



Saturday
Oct. 6, 2012
Open for dinner only
A quieter Saturday then usual.

So happy to see a Chinese family with grandpa, grandma, mother & father, son and daughter, in for dinner.  Sometimes the older generation Chinese finds our Asian inspired menu a bit of a surprise.  I am so pleased that everyone enjoyed their dinner.  Our non Chinese server even delighted them with a few words in Cantonese.

DIARY OF THE VEGETARIAN HAVEN RESTAURANT



DIARY OF THE VEGETARIAN HAVEN RESTAURANT

Friday

17 degrees Celsius
The day started off cloudy.  By the time are open at noon, the sun is out.
A beautiful cool, crisp Fall day.

We specifically told Pepsi to remove their fridge not during our busy lunch service.
And what time do they show up?  12:10pm, right at the beginning of our lunch service when customers are filing in.  We asked them to come back after 2pm and they disappeared without returning.

The chef created a new Special of the Day
Rustic mash of sweet potato, layered between crispy baked sheets of phyllo pastry, served with sun dried tomato sauce, stir-fried rice noodles and ginger sesame vinaigrette dressed garden mix salad with.

A customer had the phyllo pastry rustic mash and the tomato sauce spilled all over her lap.  There goes a free lunch!
