You would’ve have thought ordering a milkshake would be simple, but I am sad to report that it is not, as I found out on the weekend.

I was at this fancy cafe place on the weekend and I ordered a simple chocolate milkshake. A pretty simple request I thought. The menu did say various milkshakes.

But then the waiter asks “What would you like in your milkshake sir?”

What? Does he not know what’s in a chocolate milkshake? So I give him a quizzical look.

He does the same.

Obviously he doesn’t know what to put in a milkshake. The only problem is neither do I. So what do I do? I panic! I start blurting out random items that sound seemingly like ingredients.

“Horse radish, a hint of mint, a pinch of salt, some ground chilli, and some tree chilli, a dash of lemon juice, a sprinkle of sparkling water and a garnish of garlic.”

Don’t ever ask me what to put in a milkshake! I don’t know!

But I must say that this one wasn’t bad.
