| - A friend and I got a hankering for rice pudding after the Raptors game - we figured it would cheer us up - so we popped in to this (rapidly fading) Toronto institution.
We ordered 2 coffees and 2 rice puddings. The (horrible) coffee came pretty quickly, but then the wait began. After about 10 minutes, we asked a passing waiter if he could send over our server. "Sure, but she's pretty busy". She didn't come over, but a few minutes later, my friend made eye contact with her, and she made a gesture like "yes, your order will be coming soon".
At this point, we figured the kitchen must be making the pudding from scratch, which included harvesting the rice paddies. Our server continued to tend to others, making no motion towards the kitchen, so we tossed down a couple of toonies, and casually left, unfulfilled.
