Tai Yu (Japans & Chinees restaurant) — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I walked through the quiet streets of the Noord district, my stomach grumbling with hunger. The air was cool and crisp, and the occasional sound of a bicycle bell rang out in the distance.

The waitress told me I will get you one glass of water but you cannot give it to your dining companion as she didn’t order a drink. I immediately walked out as I was so offended. We just ordered €80 worth of food and drinks and you are being rude about a glass of water. I went instead to Puspita Indonesian restaurant nearby where I was greeted with amazing hospitality and kindness, and the most...
