Salty Wet

OMG, I encountered a very hamsup problem the other night in the restaurant I worked in. As my headchef came in late due to traffic, so as second chef in command, I had to take over his duty as highest in command in the restaurant (yes, I'm pretty proud of it...) This means, I had the entire kitchen to myself - I had to juggle both my duty as tempura chef and serving main course dishes: which I've picked up by my own initiative for the past 2 years.


[How a sukiyaki should look like - this is the posh version of course.]

A customer ordered a beef sukiyaki (a kind of steel pot noodle with assorted vegetables - see picture). I did exactly so. However, 5 minutes later it was sent back - customer claimed it was too salty. I tasted it - it was salty; I tasted my pot of sauce mixture - PAH! It was ($(*#!*&^$(*(*@& salty. Some idiot from lunch has added salt into the mixture (there is no sauce in sukiyaki sauce at all - I can't reveal the ingredients or else I'll have to kill you). Hence I corrected the problem by adding 2 bowls of sugar into the mixture and reheated the mixture to the right consistency.

To my amazement, the sauce just kept getting saltier and saltier. I pondered and suddenly my lightbulb clicked. I walked towards the sugar box and tasted it - some idiot refilled the sugar box with salt. I ended up pouring a huge pot of sauce into the sink.

If I found out who was the idiot, I'm gonna rip out his/her guts, fry them and have them for supper.

PS: OK, so it wasn't really humsup, but it caught your attention din't it? =P
