As opposed to “How would you like your steak to be done?”

After watching the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at The Cathay last night (a movie which I didn’t understand), Barney suggest we go for cheap steaks at Aston’s.

There was a queue for an available table, but the waitress passed out menus so that she can take our orders while we wait.

We spent the next 10 minutes discussing the menu, including making Barney bend over and pretend to be a cow so that Toi can show us which part of his ‘cow body’ gives us Rib Eye, Sirloin, Potterhouse and Tenderloin. (Of course Barney got a pat on the bum when it comes to “Rump”)

Frou: Miss, you can take our orders now.
Waitress: What you want to order?
Toi: I want a Xtra cut Prime Rib with rice and baked beans.
Waitress: How you want your doneness?
Toi: Medium rare.
Maro: I want a black pepper steak with coleslaw and mash potatoes.
Waitress: What doneness?
Maro: Medium rare.
Frou: I want a prime rib with fries and vege.
Waitress: Doneness?
Frou: Medium rare too.
Barney: I want the Waygu beef with fries!
Waitress: And your doneness?
Barney: Medium rare.

A few minutes later:

Frou: Eh folks. Did the waitress just said “Doneness” to us?
All: Oh yeah, she did.
Frou: Did we have even a sliver of doubt what she was talking about?
All: Nopes!
