Chinese takeaway…

‘Nothing wrong with that’ I’m sure you are thinking, but although I live less than a minute’s drive from my local takeaway, I insist that it is delivered.

Oh, and I order the same thing…

Every single time…

About 3 times a week on average…

For about the last 5 years or so.

My telephone orders go thus:

Them: “Hello, Eastern Star”

Me: “Hello”

Them: *laughs* “10 minutes”

I then put the phone down.

A couple of years ago the delivery guy snapped as he made his delivery.

(Disgraceful stereotyping of Chinese language coming up…apologies in advance)

“Meeshter Poofwake, why you no haf sumfing diffelent? We haf velly many tasty fings for yu to tly?” He pleaded

My simple response was: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

I am a death-defyingly dull man.

Sorry, should have mentioned...

1. Special Chow mein
2. Extra portion of Noodles
3. Portion of Chips.

I'm not an immense bloater btw, that is shared between myself and the present Mrs Pooflake...and the kids if they're awake.

Sometimes some is saved until the next day...and I know that if this is going to happen I save all the best microwavable bits.

Our local is called.....
Tse House

Tse is pronounced "say" (though in chhinese its sposed to be ka"

Phone rings

Them - Hello Tse House

Us - HOUSE!

Repeat till no longer funny

10 years and counting so far.

Still funny

@bobman

I am convinced that the Eastern Star Special Chow Mein is the finest culinary masterpiece the world has ever had the sheer joy to experience.

It's the 'bit of everything' dish that most takeaways do, mixed together to justify the extra 50p on the price...including king prawns, chicken, beef, pork etc.

mmmmmmm

*licks lips*
*Starts to feel hungry*
*looks at shite sandwiches*
*Thinks 'Fuck it, I'm having one tonight now'*

Same with me
I call every Friday and they just say "10 minutes". I always get wonton soup, steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. That's lunch and dinner sorted.

Chinese.
I nearly always have the same thing. On the rare occasions that I haven't I'm almost always disappointed. Same goes for Indian - and Boots sandwiches.
