Restaurant at Union Station of Los Angeles

I was visiting San Francisco in September 2015 to see a friend and paid a visit to Los Angeles before that.

My flight was leaving on the next morning so I planed to have some nice local food in the previous evening. I had an awesome day in Universal Studios, and thanks to the jet lag, I fell asleep on the metro. As a result I missed my stop and did not wake up until the metro took me to Union Station, the last stop.

All right, let me find a restaurant around now that I have been at the station. I went out the station and managed to Yelped a popular restaurant which served local food.

It might be still too early for dinner so there were not too many guests. A beautiful waitress greeted me and took me to a table next to the window.

I looked at the menu, and ordered salad and roasted pork with honey. Since there was only one kind of soup available on that day, I ordered that as well.

– You don’t need to order salad separately because your main course has already come with some salad in it. Would you still like to keep the salad?

– No. In this case, I would only like to keep the rest two. Thank you!

My food was quickly ready and served. The food was in big proportion and looked really nice too. I took a bite of the pork, and it was soft, juicy and sweet. Salad on the side was also fresh. I could smell the aroma of the vegetable. Yet the soup was really not something I like. I was not able to tell what was it made from. It was green so I figured it might be shred spinach. It was totally different from what I had expected, and to the great surprise of mine, it was cold. I took a sip and decided to leave it alone.

When I was about to finish, the waitress walked up.

– You don’t like the soup?

– No. I thought it was some hot soup. Could you heat it for me?

– No, it is meant to be served cold and it is our special dish today.

– All right. Never mind.

I figured I should just leave it alone since I was really enjoying the pork.

– You don’t like the soup, do you? I can return it if you don’t like it.

– Oh really? That would be very nice!

So she returned the soup for me.
