That is how my Chinese delivery order was read back to me. What are the chances I am going to get General Tso's chicken, beef and string bean and white rice and cheese wontons?
....and do you ever wonder if that if after the guy that answers the phone hangs up, he reads the order back to the cook in perfect english?Gah soooo? Be stin be? Wha raa? Ch-wahtah?
Me sow mi dulman an cook i yo sen..Gah soooo? Be stin be? Wha raa? Ch-wahtah?
Your chances are very good of getting the correct order. For even though they couldn't speak English correctly, they could hear and understand your english. It's hard enough for someone who wasn't born into an English speaking family to learn English, without some people criticizing them for speaking phonetically. And no, I don't wonder that.
