话匣子餐厅(Chatterbox)

上周日,相约了新婚的吉蒂猫和她的华语先生,以及好久不见的佐佐儿吃饭。地点选了我们以前高中毕业后打过工的文华酒店话匣子餐厅。算一算,那已经是12年前的事了。光阴似箭这回事,还真不是说玩玩的。

回到话匣子,是一种很奇妙的心情,很多在那里的回忆也一一被勾起。虽然那段打工当侍应生的日子也不过是短短的7个月,却是人生中一段很重要的历练。第一份全职工作;第一次离乡背井;第一次离开父母家人的庇护,自力更生,事事得自己打点,亲力亲为;第一次有吃苦的感觉;工作上得用当时还很蹩脚的英语和同事、客人对话;受上司、同事、客人的气,却只能泪往肚子里吞;晚上临睡前,常常因为寂寞、受气,超想念爸爸妈妈而不停的哭,还是得躲在被窝里偷哭那种;为了赚多一点加班费,连续当两班工作16小时;过年得工作而不能回家和家人吃团圆饭。刚开始的时候,真的很不适应,连打电话回家听到妈妈的声音,都会忍不住哭。还好,那时还有好几个銮中的同学一起打工,慢慢的也就适应过来了,也不再以打工为苦了。而也是在那时候,和吉蒂猫和佐佐儿成了好朋友。

在酒店餐厅打工,也有一种福气,那就是“口福”啦!工作了几个星期后,和其他同事和厨师混熟了,当然有的免费享用别人得花好几十块钱才吃得到的好料咯 =D 当时话匣子的招牌海南鸡饭可是全新加坡闻名的咧!还有海鲜河粉、牛肉河粉、炒粿条、沙爹等等等,不时都可以吃到。真的好好吃哦。即使离开了话匣子继续升学,对那里的食物还是很怀念。
这次回去,是以客人的身份去。话匣子已经不在原来的位置了,侍应生的制服换了,布置陈设餐具都变高档了,菜单价格也作了调整。当然在那里工作的侍应生也不是以前的那群朋友了(虽然还有少数几张似曾相识的脸孔)。话匣子这个名字似乎也不再适合这地方,少了以前那种亲切熟络,可以让人畅谈相聚的感觉。物是人非,应该是这么一回事吧。好在,即使服务水平真的很不怎么样,食物还是很不错吃哦!Yummy~~~~ ………^Q^

看看我们点了些什么吧~~~



Lobster Laksa
Price : S$28+++










Char Kwey Tiao
Price : S$22+++












Beef Hor Hun
Price : S$22+++










Hainanese Chicken Rice
Price : S$22+++









当然,以这种价位,吃这么“大众化”的食物,真的很贵。更可以在外头找到更好吃的却便宜很多的地方。这次,要品尝的,其实是那年少的滋味呀!
