Service in Korea

I finally got around to listening to the newest Seoul Podcast. The show was recorded in a Italian restaurant, I think it was Italian, in Seoul. I nearly laughed my butt of when I hear d the live service…

Patrons: “Desert menu, please.”
The waiter hands over a desert menu
The patrons look at the menu where it says “Today’s Desert” and nothing else. They try to establish eye contact with the waiter who is now busy doing other things, supposedly to give them time to ponder there decisions between Today’s Desert and Today’s Desert. Finally they get her attention.
Patrons: “What is today’s desert?”
Waiter: “We don’t have any desert.”

Service in a “Western” Restaurant in Korea.
