One of my favorite parts of the daily routine at rehab is
stopping at 10 am for breakfast. I don’t know what about it I like. Perhaps it
is the chance to fill my empty stomach, or maybe it is the chance to join in
the comradery of staff who have all taken a pause to break fast. Whatever it is
holds a certain charm for me.
This is how it goes. Approach cashier and order meal; for me,
that would typically be one plain dosa and a double tea. Hand over currency and
wait for change and your meal tokens, noting that you might get change in chewy
candies—don’t be alarmed— this is the status quo. The meal tokens alert the
chefs of what you ordered. The blue token is plan dosa (for what I could tell),
and the lime green tokens are for hot beverages. With tokens in hand approach
the kitchen and re-place your order, then marvel at the technique in which the
food is prepared. Once completed, the chef motions you to lift your dish so he
can plate your meal. Proceed to the small kitchen for your chutney de-jour and
sambar. Find a place to sit, and begin enjoying.
