A late night diner at a new Chinese restaurant ordered the signature meal, Chicken Surprise.
A large plate of hot rice was put in front of him together with a wicker basket with a hinged lid.
Moments later the hinge lid lifted enough to show a pair of glinting eyes.
After a minute or two this was repeated.
And then a third time a few moments later. The diner, now in some alarm, called the waiter back to his table.
"There's something looking at me in the basket," said the diner.
"What did you order?" asked the waiter.
"Chicken surprise."
"Oh I am so sorry, there's been a mix up. That's not the Chicken Surprise... that's the Peeking Duck.":roll:
