E-menus not so palatable for some customers amid price rows - Hong Kong Standard

Image
Some 30 percent of 1,500 complaints about restaurants involved disputes over price differences between what is shown on the menu and customer bills, the Consumer Council said. The watchdog said discrepancies between the printed menus and e-menus have become a common source of dispute, as contactless ordering via mobile phones rose in popularity during Covid. In one case, the e-menu stated HK$0 for the service charge, but when the diner paid the bill, she was asked to pay a 10 percent service charge. She filed a complaint to the watchdog and requested a refund. The restaurant explained to the watchdog that it has always imposed a 10 percent service charge from 6pm onwards, but this extra charge did not show up in its ordering system. The restaurant later made a refund to the complainant and said it has informed their system supplier to rectify the e-menu. The watchdog reminded the restaurant that it must display charges prominently on the menu and on any in-store signage, as well ...

From scheduled lunches to weekly planned menus; here's how Dalljiet Kaur has been settling with her hubby and family in a new country - Times of India

Image
Nikhil talks about having planned schedules for months, as everyone has their family and personal lives. He said, "Everyone has families, their own lives because of that we plan lunches and dinners months prior. We have friends all over the world. We are meeting in London in July, what date, what are we going to do? Everything will be scheduled beforehand, so as not to interfere with their family lives. However, Dalljiet quips, "It is quite different from India, there we would go out for dinner whenever we felt like than keeping a schedule." Nikhil added, "It is more Monday-Friday structured because of work, kids' schedules, extracurricular activities and all." Adblock test (Why?)

Image
A bride who shared a video showcasing her healthy wedding menu has been criticised over her strict food choices. Sam Cutler, who runs The Fit Fatale community, shared a video on her social media called 'What I Ate On My Wedding Day.' The video shows not only what she ate on her special day, but what her guests were served. During drinks the bride ate oysters and plantain avocado bites, and dinner began with a chopped salad with gluten-free bread.

(Instagram) A palate-cleansing course of ice and lemon came next ahead of a main of salmon and vegetables. So far it all sounds incredibly healthy and delicious and not too controversial, but then Cutler shows herself taking an Arrae anti-bloating pill in preparation for her gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free chocolate cake, washed down with low-sugar bubbly.

The Simple Way To Order Starbucks' Secret Menu Mint Chip Frappuccino - Tasting Table

Image
Because peppermint is available year-round at Starbucks, you can create even more secret menu creations. For example, instead of starting with the Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino, opt for the Vanilla Bean version and add in java chips and peppermint syrup. You won't get that vibrant green color, but you'll still get all the minty, chocolatey flavors. Or, if you really want to get fancy, try ordering this minty concoction: A grande Matcha Crème Frappuccino with one pump of classic syrup, four pumps of peppermint syrup, two pumps of mocha sauce, and a cup lined with mocha sauce. Then add three scoops of vanilla bean powder and one scoop of protein powder, and top with whipped cream. You'll get a boost of caffeine, protein, and deliciousness. When it comes to ordering custom Starbucks drinks, doing so in-person is important because the app and website don't allow for adding matcha scoops or other non-traditional add-ins.

‘Crime against food’: Met Gala menu leaves netizens unimpressed, Priyanka Chopra says there wasn’t any bread - The Indian Express

Image
Despite its stellar fashion moments and opulence, the food at the Met Gala dinner has a bad rep for being unimpressive. This year, the menu was based on legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld’s food preferences and aimed to replicate the feeling of “dinner at his home”. As per Vogue, the menu included “chilled spring pea soup with baby vegetables, lemon crème fraîche, and truffle snow, followed by Ōra King salmon with vegetable nage, asparagus, pickled strawberries, and radish”. These dishes were served to the esteemed guests in vintage china. For drinks, one could pick from wine selection or Diet Coke. However, this carefully crafted menu has failed to impress the netizens who noted that the food looked “appetite suppressant”. American rapper Pusha T revealed in his Instagram story that singer Teyana Taylor snuck Chick-Fil-A for dinner instead of dining on the in-house options. Priyanka Chopra revealed there was no bread on the menu. Teyana is so real for bringing Chic Fil A to th...

Met Gala 2023's menu gets leaked on social media; unimpressed netizens say 'The food on the menu at the Met Gala sounds disgusting' - Times of India

Met Gala 2023 food menu goes viral and the Internet is not at all impressed with it. Here's why - India Today

Image
By Srimoyee Chowdhury : Fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, was held in New York on May 1. The prestigious event was laid out at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and this year’s theme was a tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. Celebs like Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Isha Ambani and many others attended the event dressed in gorgeous ensembles. But this article is not about fashion, it’s about food. advertisement Now, as Indians, we are more interested in the kind of food that was served at the lavish event hosted by Anna Wintour. By now, you probably know that the tickets for the Gala cost a whopping Rs 41 lakh and qualify as a high-profile event that was attended by the who’s who of the film and music fraternity. And when the price is this much, one expects a sumptuous spread of food. So don’t think of yourself as a judgemental fufaji at a wedding, because a large chunk of the internet was interested in the food. Several pictures from the Met Gala went viral and among ...

World’s foremost royal menu collector reveals king’s coronation quiche a far cry from beheaded quails of old - The Guardian

Image
In a time before coronation quiches, a new monarch might diligently work through dozens of courses. They might slurp through a turtle soup or pheasant consommé or brave a maupygernon – which one UK MP described as a grim recipe “based on hogs’ kidneys and flavoured with ingredients suggesting the witches’ cauldron in Macbeth”. When King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, picked a quiche as the signature meal for Saturday’s coronation, the reaction was as mixed as an egg and cream filling. The Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg declared it “disgusting”, while others tried the recipe and found it delicious. It was hailed as something Brits could cook at home or for the coronation Big Lunch , however, the historian Rachel Rich questioned why a French staple was featuring in a celebration of Britishness and the French declared the quiche was actually a tart . In the past, rather more complicated dishes have been served up for the crowning of kings, as is clear from a vast col...

Chipotle's CFO on Avocado Prices, Inflation and TikTok-Inspired Menu Items - The Wall Street Journal

Image
Lower-than-expected avocado costs have helped Chipotle Mexican Grill’s margins, offsetting higher costs for other items such as oils and tortillas. Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Images May 1, 2023 5:31 pm ET Chipotle Mexican Grill ’s shares hit a record high last week after the fast-food chain reported first-quarter results that beat analysts’ expectations. Quarterly and comparable sales were up, and its restaurant-level operating margin improved by roughly 25%. One reason behind the results: avocados.  Lower-than-expected avocado costs have helped the company’s margins, offsetting higher costs for other items such as oils and tortillas. The average price for each Hass variety of avocado was $1.32 last week, down around 18% from around a year ago, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  This matters because the burrito chain buys more avocados than most if not all other U.S. restaurant companies, said Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung.
