This post is long overdue. Much like my other food exploits since I eat more than I blog, heh. A few months ago, my sister Kat celebrated her birthday. We wanted to surprise her and make fer feel as if we didn't care about her special day which is why we told her we have other things planned. My sister is adventurous when it comes to food; she is my total opposite. I have a tendency to stick to restaurants that I like. She, on the other hand, like trying out things. This strikes a balance between us since it breaks the monotony of the my hungerlust. For her birthday, her boyfriend told us that she's been dying to try out 4 Seasons Hotpot City. He did the reservation and all we had to do was go there and pretend that we have other things planned.
Our initial reservation was at 6:00 PM. Unlike other restaurants, 4 Seasons doesn't have a grace period for reservations. If you're late, even just for a minute, you'd have to queue with the walk-ins. I found this unfair as restaurants would usually give leeway because there are tons of unforeseeable circumstances that could happen even if you try your hardest to be there on time. Not really defending myself but it sucks that we had to wait with the walk-ins when we were just late for abour 3 minutes because we got lost.
