So Pathetic

W**, A**** and I were at Bintang Plaza Megamall this afternoon, and we were hungry after walking and browsing in the shops.

There are a few fast food outlets here and we considered what we could eat to fill our tummies. Then, A**** raved about GCB @ McDonald's. There were long queues at 3 counters but we decided we would join in anyway, our eyes searching the colourful displayed menus for GCB a.k.a. Grilled Chicken Burger. However, there was a crude notice stuck over the menu and it said "OUT OF STOCK". Shuckksss!!!

Can't be helped, I suppose. It was the only McDonald's we have here in Miri. It catered to the whole of Miri city, and of course those invaders from neighbouring Brunei. No wonder GCB was out of stock! And no wonder the queues were miles long. Pathetic, isn't it?

So, we were left to consider other options. Starbucks? Nah. Pizza Hut? Hmn. Yeah, why not? We headed over for our pizza meal. We ordered a Regular Hawaiian Chicken Combo meal for 2, and upgraded our ordinary pan pizza to the stuffed crust Cheesy Lava, and sat happily waiting for our orders to arrive.

The first item served was supposed to be the Garlic Breadstix, as was in the menu. But instead of Breadstix, we were served this :

Where are the Breadstix???

Half of a roll of bread, quartered, and spreaded with garlic butter. The bread did not only look pathetic, it looked dry. When enquired, the waitress merely said they had not served Breadstix for quite long already. Why??? A cost-cutting measure? Why then do they retain Breadstix in the menu?

Then when our pizza came, we were again peeved, as the waiter failed to take note of our upgrade. We had a pan crust Hawaiian Supreme pizza instead.

Sigh. East Malaysians are really DEPRIVED!
