Hang heads home :(

Well it was going to happen sooner or later; Hang was heading home... but before she left on that plane for the more seasonal world of killer animals (Australia) we went and had lunch in 1 Utama. The eatery of choice was Sushi Zenmai, a place we had visited a few weeks prior with one of Lena's friends. To make things even better Belle joined us. Lunch went well, the food was good but the service was quite poor. It was at this point that things got difficult because when we went to pay we wanted to avoid paying the 10% service charge added to our bill because we didn't think the service was up to standard but apparently this OPTIONAL addition to the bill couldn't be removed without managerial approval. When the guy turned up he wanted to know why, apparently piss poor service isn't a good enough reason. He said something about it being lunch so service would be bad, okay fine, but you shouldn't expect people to want to praise you for what you indicate is poor service.

After our battle at the checkout (we won by the way :) ) we went and dropped Belle back off at KPMG where a fire alarm was going off for some reason, sparking temporary joy in Belle, but alas it was just a drill so everyone was filling back into the place so we had to leave Belle there and head back to Hangs house for our sad farewells. It was originally Lena's plan to go with her to the airport but Hang didn't want a long drawn out goodbye so we said our farewells at the door. Later we learned Hang worked her way through a box of tissues on the plane ride to Australia :(.

With our goodbyes exchanged we spent the rest of the day feeling a little down, I know Lena did. So when her dad get home he took us out to a Korean BBQ for dinner. The food was alright not great, I'm not sure if we weren't really committed to the whole meal thing anyway. The one surprising thing I found out about the cuisine was that they had 9 bowls that surrounded the main cooking surface which were replenished whenever we finished one; that was pretty cool. It was a shame that most of the dishes were quite bitter.
