As the evening approached, we happily walked to a place called "Foodie's
Corner" to have our dinner. The setting sun brought a cool breeze, making the
atmosphere very pleasant.
Sitting together at a table, my friends John, Aileen, and I were excited to
order some fried noodles. Soon, a big plate of hot noodles was served, and we
quickly filled our bowls, eager to enjoy our meal.
The food tasted really good.
While John was chatting, he suddenly winced and spat out something from his
mouth, looking unhappy. It was a staple he had bitten into accidentally. We were
all shocked and stopped eating, worried that we might find more strange things
in our food. The idea of eating staples was disgusting, and I even started to
wonder if I had unknowingly swallowed any.
Aileen carefully looked through the remaining noodles and found two more staples
and a small piece of raffia string. We were even more grossed out, thinking
about what else might be hiding in the food.
We called the owner over and showed him the staples and string. He was very
sorry and said he wouldn't charge us for the meal. He even promised to make us a
fresh plate of noodles for free.
Feeling unhappy and with no appetite left, we left the place, feeling
disappointed. The whole incident had completely ruined my desire to eat. |
