there are these garlic noodles that i really like.  it's one of only a handful of items that i order repeatedly from foodpanda.  (i try to order different dishes from different restaurants.)

monday, i ordered it and for the first time i did not like it.  the noodles were almost plain.  unlike the previous deliveries which were flavorful and tasty, this one was bland due to lack of sauce.  i think the one who prepared it was not able to properly put sauce on the noodles.

i sent a feedback to both the source and foodpanda.  foodpanda refunded me.

wednesday, i reordered.  the noodles had sauce this time but seemingly not enough for the amount of noodles.  i wondered whether the one who prepared it was scrimping on the sauce.

i wasn't happy with my two orders so today i ordered again (hope springs eternal, haha).  this time, i ordered from the branch where i used to order.  the last two orders i placed were from a new branch and i was thinking maybe the staff have yet to learn the proper preparation.

guess what, when my order arrived, it was not just the sauce that wasn't up to par (too little) but the noodles themselves were not well-cooked!  they were hard!  🤦‍♀️

i dunno whether they changed their recipe, their ingredients, their method, their commissary.  whatever it is, it's been three unsatisfactory orders  ->  in a row.

i love you, goodbye 😢
