Tau Pok Udon???

We had dinner at a japanese restaurant, a little celebration for my sis in Paragon. I ordered Kitsune Udon with the waitress, pronouncing the word clearly, Ki-Tsu-Ne. As though making sure of my order, the waitress repeated, "the one with tau pok?" Stunned when i heard that, i said yah. When my UDon was finally served, not to be forgotten, she repeated "Your taupok Udon miss." Faint. Taupok Udon? that's soo funny. She makes it soo localise and least expected in a Japanese restaurant. Oh my goodness....This reminded me of another incident at another Japanese restaurant where i ordered Ocha (green tea) for my beverage. I took almost 10mins to explain to her what Ocha is. I guess, in a Japanese restaurant, i've expected the staff to know the names of food and beverages in Japanese. The least basic. Disappointed and amazed, this island needs to brush up on Service......
