Irresistable salmon...anyone?

Irresistable...
Those were the thoughts I had when I that meal came floating towards me. The waitress walked towards me making her way through the crowd of people. Darn...I should have taken a snap of the complete Smoked Norwegian Salmon. Theres a couple of missing egg yorks and salmon. lol -.-' What d'ya expect dude! Its indeed irresistable. Eventually, I got that in Coffee Bean. But nevertheless, you should try em.
A whole new story off 'salmon'...
Now talking about salmons, I had encounter many pronounciation problems with waiters. Not in the regular Coffee Bean I visit though. It happened in some 'ought to be a higher educational and high class' sort of restuarant. People...people...pls, I'm NOT showing off. We made a visit to that restaurant as our friends from the other side of the world simply loves the food there. Now we would wanna take them to some delicious mouth watering food place, dont we?? Its sorta like once in a blue moon. And so, I glanced through the menu, and a salmon dish caught my eye. We called for the waiter. The waiter then came and each of them made their orders till it was my turn.
waiter: What would you like, sir?
me : I would love this Scrambled Eggs with Salmon.
waiter: Come again. (giving me an uncertained look)
me : This salmon. (showing him the picture
of the salmon on the menu)
waiter: Oh. You mean saLmon (convincing me that the 'L' word has to be pronounced clearly)
me : Yeah. Thats it.
A pal of mine, Lisa and his brother Matt then gave me smile...I glanced back and returned a smile. Well I've came to this such situation once before and this was like my second encounter. And so, I decided to do exactly like what I've been through. The only difference was, Matt will continue from where I've stopped. I told him to ask about the NICOISE SALAD. Lucky me, the entire so called plot came to my expectation. The waiter told him that, 'Oh thats NEE CO EYES salad. It comes with..blablabla...' Lisa just smiled to me and Matt gave me a 'what a jerk' look to me. I controlled myself, trying my best not to laugh. That was like uh c'mon...if yer not sure whats it all about, dont ever try to be smart. Eventually, I did not laugh for some reasons. I know that in this world, there are still LOTS of dishes where I dont even know how to pronounce them correctly. Till then, it's best if keep quiet and not boast around. But lol, haha...well,
'What a day!'
