Special Delivery

It’s been raining heavily again these few days, and I was tired of going out in the rain to get food, so I decided to try the food delivery service. In general, delivery for orders of 10 RMB (~S$2) and above is free, so I ordered a Grilled Chicken Wrap set (wrap + salad + drink) for 13.50 RMB (~S$2.70) from one of the shops downstairs. (They are rather active in distributing pamphlets so I’ve collected a few over time.) It took about half an hour to arrive, with the wrap still warm. I was feeling rather sorry for the delivery guy who looked completely drenched despite holding an umbrella, that I merely glanced into the plastic bag of food before paying. It was not until I had sat down and started to eat, that I realised there was a straw but no drink in the plastic bag! By then it was too late to catch hold of the delivery guy, and I didn’t want to call the shop and fuss over a 3 RMB drink, so I guess water is all that I’ll be having this meal. Or maybe I should make the cup of instant Lipton Chocolate Milk Tea in my little food/drink stash…
