I was sitting down at a food kiosk, looking over the menu, laughing with some stranger who was doing the same at some of the presentations- one of the pieces of food was wrapped in the same of a duck. When asked why the food was kept in baskets at the counter, the cashier replied that it helped keep them warp, and shook the baskets.
I decided to order a "citrus apple of the sea", as the sign on it's basket proclaimed it's name to be. Taking the bundle which the menu had priced at about $6, I unwrapped it only to discover that al it was was a ball of fried rice with a shard of shrimp in the center.
My Mom was there also, although I'm not sure what she ordered. After I had gobbled mine down, she asked if I wanted more, and that if so we might want to order it by phone, perhaps from the 310 area since then it'd be quicker. I declined, noting that It'd take 11 of those to fill me up and that the price was outrageous.
