misleading scene

Last night, I met up with kiyo, stevie and hyena for dinner and we decided to head to Tonkichi at Taka to have some Japanese pork cutlets. There was a relatively long queue outside the shop and we were all advised to order our food even before we got a table.

When we were finally shown our table after a 20 min wait, I found that the restaurent is actually kindda NOT fully filled! That said, the row of tables which we were assigned was totally empty; the row had 4 table able to fit 10 ppl, and even with 4 of us there, there were still 3 other tables for diners in pairs! Why is there a queue outside in the very first place?! Is the restaurent trying to generate hype and buzz by making diners queue up outside to create a 'Tonkichi is extremely popular with diners' mentality to the passer by outside? Talk about misleading marketing gimmick!

Anyway, I had a 20 dollars meal with huge pork cutlets servings and I think that, though the standard is good, it'll never compare with those cutlets I had when I was in Tokyo 4 years back. Also, Stevie ordered the Jap Curry and I kindda think that Curry Favor has better curry.

While waiting for our food to arrive despite having ordered like 20 minutes ago, I did what is my forte: irritate ppl. The victim was hyena and you can so see how annoyed she was having to take a photo with me while being hungry.
