Paolo & Ping's, c. 1998

1. Entrance is pleasurable to behold; possesses correct influences.
2. Olive oil bottle lacks womanly curves; this will displease Oedipal customers.
3. Minimalist candle is self-defeating and dissonant with surroundings.
4. Yellow lights in semi-Chinese establishment suggest racist opinions.
5. Noisy traffic passing by premises cannot be heard. This is good.
6. The intercurrents of air are harmonious and recommend themselves gently to our senses.
7. Retail corner is vulgar and emanates an unwholesome presence replete with indolent propensities.
8. The waitresses' faux-cheongsam tops with obscene décolletages are offensive to the moral sensibilities of conservative Chinese diners. Moreover, they (the waitresses) lack the seasonings of insouciance to carry it off.
9. Attempt to blend Sino-Italian into an agreeable mélange results in a confused puddle of miry, dissociated scallops and petrified mozzarella.
10. Music no good.
...and who is that familiar-looking lady over there?
