| Deflated food at Inflationary prices
Returned to this restaurant after a few years absence. I was probably influenced by their glib adverts on how good their food were without burning a hole in your pocket. At the end of the meal, I should have stuck to my tried and tested notion that the ad-men are merely good at selling dreams.
On the whole, there was not much to complain on the food. It was alright by any standard, a minimum expectation on the quality would help though.
For the prices, the quantity served was measly to say the least. RM20-00 for a chicken chop with some boiled vege of peas, carrots and corn and some fries. RM45 for a small piece of salmon with a small of piece of beef. RM60 for half a frozen 'baby' lobster and a half piece of chicken chop. The portions were so small that my whole family had to stop by at Jalan Peel on the way home to have some beef noodles!!
Service was so-so, the captain looked impatient when we were comtemplating going for oxtail or seafood chowder soup. In the end, we opted for both as we could sense that he was about to walk off without taking our orders. Apart from that incident, the other waiters were pleasant and attentive enough.
Overall, nothing much to shout about. One can have the same food at any roadside or shophouse western food stall at less than half the price. |
