I went for Dim Sum by myself today. Shrimp dumpling, chicken feet, chives dumpling,... hm,...
So I took a shower, I drove & entered the restaurant.
The host asked: "How many?" Asking me, how many people will it be in my party.
I said: "One!"
Then she said: "Sorry?"
I said: "Just one."
Then she said: "I'm sorry, I don't understand that."
Uhm,..
So, I pointed my index finger up in front of her and tried again "One person only."
"Oh,..." (a very brief pause) " Please follow me" She said nicely.
Then I was escorted to a table and the waitress hurried up to my table and asked the hostess "How many?"
Then the hostess said "Just one."
"Just one?"
Man,... don't people go to eat just by themselves lately?
I do wonder if they really find it that odd? Because I couldn't care less. It is as simple as this: I had some craving for dim sum and my dim sum buddies are all gone, and my boyfriend doesn't eat pork or seafood. So,... party of one it is.
Just fabolous me.
But if it is easier for them to see, I will bring my ducky stuffed animal next time to sit next to me and claim party of two instead.

Hmpffff... I had multiple dim sum buddies, not just mr. anonymous. Right Chocoholic?
You're right on, sista'!
I'm thinking... that it may just be the way you look, you don't have the "I'm desperate" aura..ha ha... I don't ever get "that" question asked.. and, I'm in Jakarta eating alone, in a sushi joint, definitely a strange sight..
Aw, Wilson, thanks.
Well, kudos to single diners! I should do it more often. It is really not bad at all. You choose whatever it is that you like, sit till whenever you want, and there's no witness if I'm pigging out.
