Restaurant Blunders

Because we're mostly moved out of our current dwelling (the freezer, spices and pantry items are gone already) we're eating out more and eating simple things at home. We've had Godawful luck with the restaurants. As I pointed out in another post, our wedding restaurant has been on a six month hiatus and the one we went to instead sucked for three big reasons. Since then we stopped at Pusynelis half way between Maisiagala and Vievis: half the menu was unavailable, the fried bread with cheese was microwaved, and the soup was so tepid I returned it. Yesterday we went out for dinner at the restaurant in Karkle: the Lowlander pancakes were obviously frozen the the potato pancakes devoid of salt. Today we went to the Chinese place near the Old Ferry on the New Town side of the river that is apparently under new management or has a new chef or both: the rice was extremely over-boiled, and when I asked for new rice they just said all the rice is make ahead of time and heated before serving; they can't possibly make me any new rice. What the fuck I says?!
