An upsetting experience

The restaurant had great decor and the sofa seats were really comfortable and it's a nice place to chill out with your friends actually. But what's most important to me is the quality of food and the service rendered at the restaurant.

My friends and i were warmly welcomed into the restaurant by the waitress and we were told that for every 3 paying diners for the lunch buffet, 1 dines free. It meant that the 4 of us only had to pay for the price of 3, which we thought was a great deal. However, when we were about to pay the bill, the waitress asked us for our UOB card, which we didnt have. So in the end, we had to pay for the price of 4 because the promotion was only valid for UOB card holders. I wont mind paying the full price, but at least the waitress could have made it clear to us right from the beginning that the promotion was only valid for UOB card holders. My friends and i couldnt help but feel that we've been cheated.

Each serving of the octopus had only 2 miserly pieces. The agedashi tofu was supposed to be fried and served wif sauce, but the tofu turned out to be a disgusting mess because of the tofu wasnt fried properly and it had this jelly-like layer on the outside. The oreo milkshake was so thick, the oreo bits were floating on the surface and it tasted like very very thick milk. Other than that, the chawanmushi and curry were great. There was free flow of drinks. And esp the 2 pieces of mochi ice cream! (i thought we were allowed to order 4 pieces per person?)

I would only reccommend this place to fried food lovers, looking for a place that you and your friends can chill out for hours. (apparently the restaurant is rather empty during the afternoon) And honestly, paying $22.80++ is a little too much for the limited variety of food, nevermind the not-so-tasty quality.
