Troll the Counter: Percy Jackson
♥
Thursday, February 6, 2014@3:23 PM
So, my friends are also voracious readers and this is our definition of fun: tricking restaurant, cafe and other establishment's staff into thinking that our names came out of a good book. Also, because they always misspell our names anyway.
Last month, we were in the Mall of Asia and when we got tired of boisterously laughing about nothing important, we decided to rest and eat at BonChon.  The staff assigned in the counter asked for our name and look what she got.  Okay, so Zim told them his name is Percy (quite believable and yes, a good way to start this Percy Jackson edition). Anna told them she's Aphrodite but they ended up putting just AF (which my friends find fortuitous because Anna's name is Anna Frizelle). I said, I was Thalia and they got it right even when I pronounced it as THAL-YA and not the Mexican Telenovela Queen. THA-LEE-YA. Arbin said he was Apollo and they believed him. Ayban told them he is Poseidon and they misspelled it into Posaidon (in hindsight, who would believe you are Poseidon, anyway?). Another unbelievable name is Hades, the god of the underworld but Kwesi used it anyway, look what he got: Aydes! And there's Clai... who really wanted to be near Kwesi that she chose Thanatos, the god of death. And so the counter typed in... Tan. Well, in defense of that lady, Thanatos is not even a feminine name! (Sorry, Clai!) But Phoebe proved to be the only one who doesn't belong to our universe because she picked the Roman goddess, Minerva. Okay, so this is one failed experiment but we sure did enjoy it. I'm thinking of doing a Hunger Games Edition next time. Hope it will succeed.

I love pizza. Who doesn't? That's why when I heard about this make-your-own pizza place, I instantly wanted to go.
We arrived minutes after 1pm and the place is full. Perhaps, because it is a Saturday and people went there for lunch. We were ushered to the left side of the place to wait for a table that will fit us all. I suggested that we place an order while waiting but my friends started toying the iPad displayed beside the entrance for photo booth purposes.
And thanks to those people behind us in the photo above, we got our seats and ordered right after.
 
The staff are cordial and nice. They even greeted us like we all know each other for a long time.
Here's our pizza!!!
 
I ordered an all cheese plus pepperoni, bacon and mushroom pie and I liked it. It's a bit salty but maybe that's because I asked them to put more parmesan on top. I just didn't like the crust because I think it's overcooked, mine's a little bit charred.
We also ordered dessert pies and while I like their banana nutella pie (you just have to eat it while its still hot or it won't be crispy anymore) their nutella peanut butter pie is a bit disappointing. Still, mad props for doing this Happy Birthday nutella peanut butter pie though.
I will end this post with one message: Happy Birthday Kwesi!
