Banapple BADapple

12.08.2011

When I go to Banapple I normally order Ribs, my favorite. But tonight, to say “maiba naman”, I ordered the salpicao instead. It wasn’t as delectable as the ribs and definitely not the best salpicao I’ve eaten BUT it still got the thumbs up from me.

My batchmate ordered the baked creamy cheesy penne which is one of my pasta pavoritos in the place. 

Everything was going so well until, low and behold, right before my fourth to the last bite I saw a strand of hair in my rice. L  Are you kidding me?! I was so disgusted that I called the server immediately and asked for her manager. This was very unlikely and unexpected since Banapple has been one of our staple restaurants since my undergrad days. Nothing like this has ever happened…EVER! And now everything is ruined! All it took was one strand of hair and my relationship between Banapple ended. Just like that. What a heartbreak. 

The manager asked me what they can do to make up for the accident, and I answered “nothing”. They offered to replace my meal with a new one, and I’m like, “No thanks.” They offered two free slices of cake, but I still said “No”. Pola was even joking “miss, I don’t think two slices ng cake or free meal katumbas ng health nya.”

I told the manager that I appreciate the gesture but what I really want is for her to find out and investigate on how the strand of hair got in my food and to make sure that the incident is dealt with accordingly. 

*Sigh* Why? Why did this have to happen? But there was nothing I can do. In the end, I went home with the two slices of cake, brought it home for the parentals and vowed never to return to BADapple again. *heartbreaking*

Disclaimer: I'm not discouraging anyone to visit Banapple :) it's still after all one of my fave places back when I was in college. Plus, I'm pretty sure this incident was dealt with accordingly.
