I SMART CONSUMER!
Pls look at the picture…
Ok, We go to Hashi… ordered and of course got the drinks along with the appetizer. “Diet coke with a lemon wedge” as usual!!
By the time I finished the appetizers I realized I needed another “glass” of coke except this time I decided to ask the waiter to get me the can itself *smart eh*
OK! Opened the can, filled the glass - same amount I got the first time (glass) but guess what!!! MORE THAN HALF THE DIET COKE CAN IS STILL FULL! I filled a second glass, took the picture and resumed enjoying this refreshing fizzy delight! I love coke!!
Makes you think what happens to the rest of the half full cans they keep inside! OR do they use it for refills! But Hashi don’t do refills! uha!
I think it’s better if we as consumers start asking question that yes might sound silly to some or “fashla” but we are paying for it!!!
I am also glad to announce that I stayed away from any chickeny meat courses - appetizers!

well you should have filled the glass without ice then the coke will all fit in one glass…try it next time….

how in God’s name would someone drink coke in this heat without ice *chill*!

adry bs you are talking about filling up the glass so its always counted as filling it without ice :D and yes you can drink coke in this head without ice if it is kept in the fridge :P

The glass is meant to have thick sides to make it appears as though there’s a large volume of the beverage.
June 23rd, 2008 at
still doesn’t negate the fact that they give you half the can ;)
June 23rd, 2008 at
It never occurred me!
Pretty smart by you :P
But you know, some restaurants do give you the can to pour out.

Nothing sounds silly these days as long as you paid for it. With the prices raising up now a days in restaurants, I ask for Doggy Bag if there are any leftovers :D

i will bring u for the try outs of our rest and cafe ;p

You know? Here they always bring the bottle or the can.. They pour it in your glass and leave the can/bottle on your table.. I just realized this difference from Kuwait!

replace the coke with some green tea!!!
June 27th, 2008 at
lol! some people are so fussy, not you chikapappi :P .. places like hashi probably dont want you to become full so you can order more ;p .. and most importantly presentation!! whenever i cook something (for my lil bro and sis), i cannot serve it without presenting in a shexy way ;D~~ .. so i serve it in small quantities ;p
OR! maybe they’re too greedy :P
