December 31st 2008, The Night of the Countdown (The Hotel Saga)

Once again, I'm wearing the same clothing until I get my change of clothing. The haircut with Mayumi will be scheduled for January 2nd. Longer hair for now.

So far the following items have been problematic:

(1) Pineapples

(2) Pears

(3) Apples

(4) Blackberry -moldy top

(5) Pomegranate -rotten

(6) Pork dish #2-burnt

(7) Pork dish #1- undercooked, raw to the cut

(8) Crab meat -burnt/extremely salty -see earlier blog posting (both plates)

So far for today, the executive chef came out and the Food & Beverage manager explained that due to the collapse of various managerial empires, there has been a fallout in quality. As a Diamond Hotel, our food was specially managed today. I'll include photos of tonights New Year's Eve Dinner shortly (dinner is at 10pm -2hrs before 2009).
