Went to some gathering, hence the location wasnt selected by me, and I didnt know what place we were going to eat, so I couldnt check on OpenRice for comments.
Arrived there pretty early and there were no waitors at the entrance, so we had to walk into the middle of the restaurant to ask for a table, and the waitress reluctantly gave us a table.
The waitors asked what tea we would like, so asked for the Jasmine, but they gave us Pu Erh. What a great start.
Ordered the set dinner which includes steamed prawns, chicken, soup, sugar snap peas and ostrich meat, fish and dessert.
As we were early and it was the winter solstice, they tried to get two rounds of tables by serving us the food fast.
However, we sat down at 5.55 and all the dishes arrived except for the fish at 6.15, so we finished all the dishes around 6.40.
There was a long gap between then and the last dish.
The amusing thing was that three different waitors came 5 minutes after each other to check if only the fish was to come.
It would have been amusing if I had filmed it, having three waitors ask the same question but no follow up.
What was worse, the tables that came after us got the fish first, while we were bored we started playing with the soy sauce and found a floating thing in it, so used a toothpick and found out it was a tiny insect, the worst thing was that we had already dipped the prawns in that sauce.
We told the waitors and the reaction was " oh yes" let me check it and pretended nothing happened.
After waiting an hour, the fish finally came, slightly undercooked because the fish stuck to the bone.
Food:
All tasted ok, one of the prawns was weird it had some white stuff on the head.
some stuck to the shell and were not fresh.
All the food was a bit under portioned.
THE SET DOES NOT INCLUDE RICE, AND THE MENU STATES THERE IS A 10% SERVICE CHARGE WHICH I EXPECTED, BUT IT DID NOT STATE CHARGES FOR THE PEANUTS N CHILI SAUCE.
AFTER THE MEAL, FOUND OUT THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT AND SAW THAT THERE WERE ALOT OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS WHICH IS TRUE, HENCE OPENRICE IS A RELIABLE SOURCE!
