Hotel Conversation

What would you like to order?

A     : Good evening Sir, have a seat, please!

B     : Thank you. I want to have dinner.

A     : Yes please. Here is the menu. What would you like to order?

B     : I want to taste all of traditional foods here while I’m on holiday. Can you tell me about this

dish?

A     : It’s called Gado-gado. It’s Indonesian vegetable salad served with peanut sauce.

B     : What are in there?

A     : They are potatoes, bean sprouts, lettuce, cucumber, some tofu, egg and rice cake.

B     : Hmmm I never taste it before. What about the sauce?

A     : The sauce is made of peanut, palm sugar, shrimp paste, chili and some other ingredients with

water.

B     : Sounds good. I want it! And,…a glass of iced tea, please.

A     : Surely Sir, please wait for a moment

Excuse me Sir, Here is your fish. How about this one?

A     : Excuse me, waiter!

B     : Yes Sir, how may I help you?

A     : I think there is something about my order. My fish has a good seasoning, but it’s a little dry.

I don’t really enjoy it. Can you give me another one?

B     : Oh I’m so sorry about that. I think I should let the cook know about this meal. Would you

please just wait for a moment?

A     : Okay.       ———A few minutes later———–

B     : Excuse me Sir, Here is your fish. How about this one?

A     : Well, this is just exactly what I want. Can you also give me roast crab with mushroom…. and

some chips, please?

B     : Surely. Would you have more drinks,  Sir?

A     : No thanks, that’s enough.

B     : Do I have to pay the first fish?

A     : I don’t think so Sir, I do apologize. That was our mistake.

B     : That’s fair. Thank you
