Call for Delivery

Some days when life is crazy or the kids are having friends over, there is nothing like picking up the phone and ordering a pizza. We do have Pizza Hut here and like in the US, they deliver. Most fast food type restaurants do. Can you imagine calling up and ordering a burger and fries from McDonalds and having them delivered in 30 minutes? Can you say soggy fries?? Anyway, all food delivery vehicles here look the same. It's a motorcycle with a metal box on the back. These are cheaper than cars and can weave around traffic making for shorter delivery times. This guy is delivering for a restaurant called Chowking. (I'm not sure why the box is open)It sells typical Filipino dishes including the best Halo Halo in the country---or so we've been told by Halo Halo experts. If you are interested in seeing more of what they offer you can visit http://www.chowking.com/ .

By the way did you know that Pizza Hut's number is 911-1111. Will thinks it is truly an emergency number when we have served him rice one too many times during the week. One of our friends had a fellow teacher from Faith come to babysit their kids last fall. The single gal was a missionary from England. She picked up the phone to order pizza for the kids, but there was a problem. The people on the other end kept asking her where she was. She just couldn't make them understand her location. "What is your emergency?" they asked. "I just want to order a pizza." was her reply. After much frustration she finally gave up and fixed the kids peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It wasn't until Tom and Kate came home that she understood the problem....She had been using the Vonage Internet phone so instead of the local Pizza Hut she was connected with 911 somewhere in Michigan.
