RANT OF A FUSTRATED FOODIE
Dear mang Inasal Emall branch, Cebu city
Why oh why? 😥😣😣😣😣,My soul is crashed to pieces.
I literally was day dreaming of my late lunch, after fasting for more than 24hrs. I wanted jolibee spag and chicken with their mashed potato(the best), KFC burger and fries (the best), casaverdes Ribs, and then, all these foods is what my thoughts could think off, based on my current pocket situation, But my mind couldn't visualize me eating any of those. Yes I eat my food in my mind first before its even cooked. U won't get it if you not a foodie.
Anyway...!
Alas, the thought of grilled chicken hit home, but naa, needed something better. Waitaminit.., grilled chicken dipped in calamansi , flaming hot chilli and soy.

This is what the dip should look like, except with a lot more chillies.
Yaasss, the thought quickly hit my taste buds and I even swallowed saliva, mang inasal it is. No one else does it better.
I quickly got off my bum from where its been laying all day, took a quick 5 minute shower and off through the door i fled. Hoped on a bike and reached the mall in less than 10 minutes, i was excited.
See, i don't usually order for unli rice (because carbs and pot belly), sometimes I don't even eat the rice, but today, i aimed for the highest, unlimited rice it is.,
washed my hands(who eats mang inasal with spoon anyway 😂, and Yes, you can say am basic😕), and before i could even sit down , my food was served.. Sweet!
Me : Oh Kuya ( I call every male pinoy that, even those young enough to be my kids), please can i have more kalamansi and Siliiiii (chillie)
Kuya waiter: ok maam! And off he goes.
10 SECONDS LATER,
Kuya waiter: comes back with 2 more Kalamansis and...... ... In his words, "am sorry ma'am,theres no SIlli.
Me : BsbxkaznxaisjndeudhwniwjsnwkdnbxeihwqNIv bjcrnodnsoxznaojeochricvgenxsjsofnkrjncoenxiebievbricnrehakh nodcndocndivfu
WHAT?????? Like that's the MAIN reason am here mate. That chicken is incomplete without the silliiiiii. It can't go down like that bruh😭 . Oh my!, and I even ordered unli rice. UNLIMITED FREAKING RICE.😨 My soul is pained..wounded..crashed. Can i get a REFUND??😭😭 ofcourse impossible, uurrghh!
But this too shall pass. Now I know what to ask for first when my chilli cravings need to be met. # AllcravingsMatter
Slowly , unenthusiastically ate my meal, with one extra cup of rice (because i Paid😕) and had a slow 1 hour sad walk back home.
