The menu said: "Scissors Salad". The dish appeared: Ceasar's Salad.
Dessert was: Cream Brule. The dish: Creme Brûlée.
What went wrong? No one has come outright to say so, but it can be easily blamed on lack of proofreading before going to print.
The caterer obviously typed what he had heard pronounced, without checking with anyone. Unforgivable? Yes, because it is an important dinner.
Blame the poor standard of Malaysian English? That would be very mean. It can happen anywhere in the world! After all, the only English spoken around the world is bad English (according to my South African friend). Even the best of us can make mistakes. Let's take them as lessons to be learned quickly and not to be repeated ever again.
In the meantime, rest assured that the salad only contained vegetables and other food items, no scissors.
Bon appetit!
