Natasha: No, no — J E F F. It is F okay? Pastry chef: Okay. Natasha: It is F … okay? Please make sure that it is J. E. F. F. Pastry chef: Okay. Natasha: Thanks. I’ll pick up the cake around 7:00pm tomorrow. |
Linda,
I guess he is just trying to be creative or something. Ah, life in the Middle East!
Hey,
Maybe the chef did it on purpose. Notice how he has the name in quotes? What’s up with that?
Ammar,
Last time I checked, I didn’t have one;-) But you never know, I might have developed one here;-)
PM,
Welcome to Mental Mayhem. It is great to have a fellow Qatari resident commenting on my blog;-)
Did you notice that the cake was from Batteel? Isn’t it supposed to be one of the best pastry shops in Doha? Well, they still can’t spell!!
Dima,
That is a good suggestion except that the chef was not Arab;-)
Are you sure you don’t have a Lisp? Kidding 🙂
So typical of Doha Natasha! Great story 😀
Sort of like when one of my students wrote a paper describing how the Kaaba had been destroyed by one of the Prophet’s (SAW) “enemas” 😉
Salaam,
PM
I guess you should give Jeff an Arabic name while staying in Qatar just like all foreigners who give themselves Arabic names and all Arabs who give themselves English names while in non-Arab countries lol. so how about Ja3far looool
Very funny story. Could have been worse…”Habby”!?!?!?!
Well yeah, I have to admit, it was really good!
hehe! Thats wayyyyyyyyyy too funny!
well at least it looks yummy 🙂
LOL! Can imagine your reaction and Jeff’s face when you saw that 😛
