Many years ago, when I was still a teenager (suddenly I feel so old), my friends and I love to frequent N.Y.D.C. The pull factors that brought us back again and again to the place were obvious – the latest pop songs blasting through the speakers of the restaurant, young waiters and waitresses, hip décor, decent baked rice and spaghetti dishes that cost below $10 (not counting the GST and service charge), and the sinful desserts, especially the Mudpies and the cakes! I still remember those days where I used to scroll through the menu looking at those innovative names for the dishes, such as the Romeo and Juliet Baked Rice, Destiny’s Child Baked Rice, Jedi Mudpies, etc.
Many of these pull factors that used to draw me to the place are still there. However, some of these essential pull factors are gone. There is now a new but still creative menu. However, the prices of the food have increased. The food there, sadly, has deteriorated. When I was back there a few months back, I was so upset with the food that I ate there, so much that I left brusque comments in their feedback forms. The baked rice seemed soggy and the spaghetti was lacklustre. I was so disgruntled that I no longer enjoy my food there as I used to during my teenage years.
I was back there with my friends last weekend. This time round, I ate Dynamite Pizza. There was too many chicken slices in my pizza such that I got rather sick of my pizza quickly. The pizza was average and unimpressive.
Maybe I have over-pampered my taste buds over the years, hence explaining why I cannot find that joy in eating those food that I used to adore in my teenage years. Somehow, I no longer find the factors that will pull me back to N.Y.D.C to eat again.
