Confession of A Service Crew

So, recently I got a job at a restaurant owned by my mom's friend. It was new, just two month old. They have 4 people working in the front while 5 working in the kitchen. I am not going to mention the name but this is a story that I think needs to be share because we all know working in this line is really really difficult. I just wanted to share my personal experience.

I swear to God the job is really stressful is all because of one person. The boss. How could you just go around and critic every single thing that we do. We are doing our best for the restaurant. We are short of staff but we did everything isn't it? The pay is not even worth the effort we put in. I was so embarrassed to tell my family how much I got because they know how much effort I put in and if they knew I only get that meager pay then I don't know if I will be able to go back and work. I continued working only because of my colleagues. They are the reason I haven't gone insane because of the boss.

I have worked here for 3 months and I don't even get one compliment from the boss. When the restaurant was short of staff and business was crazy, WE ALL HELPED. Yet, there is not even one "good job" from him. Fine. Today is my last straw and I gotta say it all here. Today a customer came in and when he saw the menu he asked why has the price gone up so I answered because of the taxes. That was my fault I know because I was just bullshitting so I accept his scolding. Earlier, I think a customer was standing infront of the restaurant but I didn't see him/her. I got scolded. He asked me if I saw them. Well obviously no. He then asked me to go behind and "discuss". Discuss in his brain means "Only I Talk" by the way. He scolded me about the customer again and I felt really mad because there's thousands of times where I went out and greet the customer. Just because you "saw" me not going out this one time you blame me for it? Ridiculous.

Seriously, I do not like to rant about this but its just to stressful to bear. Tonight I need to work again and I am sure I will get scolded by him again but this time I will just answer back because well the next post will probably will be me talking about how I lost my job thanks.

There's more to share, will keep updating...

The Most Simplest of All Spaghetti Aglio E Olio (or something like it)

Hurlo people! *krik krik*
Okaysss, so I'm back with a recipe post.
I reaaaaally love spaghetti aglio e olio (and every other pasta)
So I decided to share with you my recipe.
It's the most simplest thing you will ever make.
It's almost like a cheat for a fancy dish.
I'll stop talking and get straight to cooking!

Ingredients
Pasta (any pasta of your choice but spaghetti is what I use.)
Oil (traditionally, olive oil but any vege oil is ok and healthier.)
Couple of garlic (depends on how much you love garlic,
I use three medium one and minced coz I'm too lazy to slice it thinly.)
Chilli flakes (I bought dried chillis, pan roasted it and blitz it in a blender.)
Salt, Pepper, All-in-one seasoning.

Cook it!
1. In a pot, fill the pot half full of water and add a handful of salt. Cover it and wait for it to boil.
2. Take a pan, big enough to fit all the pasta you boiled. Heat until the pan smokes. Turn of the heat and pour in oil, around two tablespoons.
3. Add your pasta to your boiling water and don't cover it. Then, add your minced garlic to the pan of oil.
4. Stir both your pasta and garlic to avoid sticking and burning.
5. After your pasta is cooked, drain it and quickly add to your pan of garlic oil.
6. Turn up the heat to medium and add chilli flakes, seasoning and pepper to the pan.
7. Fry for a few minutes, mixing all the ingredients well.
8. Eat like you've never ate before.

This recipe is so simple yet delicious. You basically cannot go wrong with this.
It hurt me a little to see restaurants serving it at RM 15 something..
Try making this at home, you'll see how simple it is :D


I am a garlic lover hence so much garlic lol
This is just one forkful.

Hungry although I just ate it.....
Are you ready for the REAL amount that I make? xD

Oh yeahhhhhhhhh!!

Ohmnomnomnom

Look at how much you can make yourself!

Up and into my mouth!

So, here you go spaghetti aglio e olio.
Simple yet delicious!
Oh, if you're vegetarian, omit the sausages.
I just add it for more things to bite (lol)
You can add bacon too.. ahh bacon :D
Share this recipe, make it and enjoy!!
