Taking your shoes off is nice for a newbie...which might take the attention away from the food... Please take care of cooking/ingredients, this is a mess....”
“Game over. The revolution is here, and it comes in the form of glazed doughnuts.”
“Sorry everyone, we don't do open bar from now on. If we make any changes we'll broadcast here. But we do sell by glasses started from 40RMB.
