  There are times that we extremely love what we are eating in a restaurant or food stalls. On the other hand, it sometimes requires us to ask for an evaluation sheets for a poor quality of food or service that we have experienced.

  In this restaurant, owners have a creative way of asking their customers about their food experience and quality of service they had in their business.
