I mean, no meal&#8217;s complete without dessert, right?<br \/>\nWe settled on <b>Samar<\/b>, a Morrocan restaurant at Baghdad Street just adjacent to Arab Street.<br \/>\nWith its Morrocan furnishings and decor, the place had a nice ambience but it was just a tad warm, stuffy, and uncomfortable without air conditioning. The ceiling fans were not very effective in combating the heat of the night.<br \/>\nWe thought we would be in for a better time at Samar, but we were led to disappointment yet again. The four of us ordered a dessert each and one of my friends ordered a cup of coffee.<br \/>\nAfter a century, we were told that they didn&#8217;t have the hazelnut mousse and blueberry cheesecake we ordered. We were so tired of waiting already that we didn&#8217;t want to look at the menu again to order something else. After repeated remindings, my friend&#8217;s coffee still never came. The chocolate truffle another friend ordered also took ages to come. I mean, come on, how long does it take for you to put a slice of cake on the plate?<br \/>\nWhen the chocolate truffle was served, we asked the waiter which dessert this was (as it could have been the hazelnut mousse) and he was like, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;  Aaarrrggghhh!!!! How dumb can this people get??? They don&#8217;t even know their stuff!<br \/>\nAnd I can&#8217;t believe these waiters and waitresses take so long with the orders when they don&#8217;t even seem very busy. We noticed many of them just standing around. Like WHAT are you doing????<br \/>\nSo Saturday night&#8217;s dining experience was just horrible to say the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After leaving that Russian restaurant mentioned in yesterday&#8217;s post, my dining companions and I went in search for some dessert.
