So this Friday we decided to venture out a bit, beyond our walking radius, to a place 2 mini-bus stops away. We found a restaurant and once we confirmed that they actually had food and not just drinks, we sat down. We ordered water to drink but then were informed they were all out (all out of water???). So we ordered hot tea. We also ordered chicken pizza. No, we were informed, there is no more chicken pizza either. But, all the other kinds of pizza on the menu are available. Well, we’ll try the “Paradise Special.”
We should have known better because all the other pizzas had descriptions but this one did not. We asked our waitress about it and she said it has all kinds of things on it. We also ordered French fries as a sort of appetizer (a pretty safe menu item generally). The service was slow and also rather random. Maybe 15 minutes after we ordered, forks, knives, and napkins were brought to our table. A few minutes later, salt was dropped off. 15 minutes later, we received the French fries. A few minutes later, we got our tea. Then, finally, we received our pizza.
This pizza was definitely a cultural experience. The toppings included: typical tomato sauce and cheese, hard-boiled egg, spinach, cabbage, carrots, and lastly, and certainly our least favorite—tuna. Overall, not horrible, but I won’t be ordering a “special” pizza anytime soon. Thankfully, the entire bill was just under $5.

Yum!?! I've never heard of a restaurant out of water either :) Hopefully the french fries and hot tea were tasty. So great to hear about your interesting cultural experiences!
I've had tuna casserole, but never tuna on a pizza, along with hard boiled eggs! Maybe it was clean out the frig. day! What fun to try new things!
It all sounded fine until the tuna part :)
