i was at varsity last week and i was strolling around the student centre looking for something to eat. finding something to eat when you are a student is always careful analysis of certain key factors and a decision based on trade-off. you look for size, you look for nutrition, and you look for cost efficiency. very seldom do you get all three.
walking past a shop called Cafe Palet i noticed that they were advertising a ‘burger special’ for R15. my one friend had already told me about the tiny burger that you get for R15, but i decided to risk it... I really was not expecting much for R15 anyways.
The biggest surprise awaited me. it was massive! it even came with tons of chips and it also came with a bit of salad (well, garnish actually) which helped in the nutrition department.
one of the saddest things you will even experience is something that promises to be amazing and is not. (like when Jesus cursed the fig tree)... the flip side of that coin is when something promises little and delivers a lot.
and i’d far rather be the latter.
