IT’S BIT weird. For the past six weeks now, I’ve received mistaken deliveries from two different motorcycle riders, one of which came back three days after to reconfirm a delivery. I stood my ground against the two riders: “The name, address and contact details are correct. But I’m not expecting anything other than a book from Amazon. So beat it! Why should I pay COD (cash on delivery) of more than P1,000 for something I didn’t order?”

On second thought, even it’s for P99 I will not accept it as I could be a potential victim to a scam. I thought to myself: “Was that a hoax? I can’t tell for sure. And I didn’t bother until now.” I was paranoid but remain positive at the same time. That’s how I remember a restaurant in Japan that has built a name for itself and continued to profit with its intriguing name — “Restaurant of Mistaken Orders.”
