Skodasales Neutral Newbie May 9, 2010 Share May 9, 2010 Had an unpleasant dining experience at the restaurant above. Booked a table and ordered the "famous" Roast suckling pig after seeing some good comments on the paper. When arrived, was recommended the set meal which also came with the Roast Pig so went along with it. When served, the roast pig was very dry and tasteless. It looked and tasted like it was reheated many many times over. Next came the most popular teochew Steam promfet, anticipation turned into disappointment because the fish wasn't fresh that spoilt the whole dish. After that, scallops with vegetables was a disaster again with scallops that were not fresh and soaked in salt water, making the dish so salty.....oh my god! Couldn't take it anymore, we asked for the captain to the table. When she arrived, she jus told us that because we were late (8pm instead of 730pm because wanted everyone to arrive and was looking through the menu), they had to reheat and so this is the result. As for the fish, she insist that it is fresh...so we suggested she try it but she refused and told us she can't do anything about it. We left the place without completing our dinner. No other explanations and apologies given...Toatal damage $570 for a horrible dinner. Will never go again. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear May 12, 2010 Share May 12, 2010 I have been to this restaurant before and find the dining experience then reasonably good. Perhaps this happens to be an isolated case. Quite a few pple had recommended to me this restaurant before.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog70 2nd Gear May 12, 2010 Share May 12, 2010 Weird, why did they cook the dishes before you arrive? Not everyone will be punctual at 7:30pm, they should only start cooking when you confirm your attendance to make sure the food is delicious. I bet they are finding excuses for the poor food.

Yuan 6th Gear May 15, 2010 Share May 15, 2010 sometimes restaurants like hawker stalls can also have unexpected failings occasionally...as i thought the reputation of this restaurant is rather good, Iam more inclined to think of TS experience as an isolated case. It might be an isolated case as I have friends who went there and their reviews have been good. Sometime, good restaurants or makan places have this type of occasional failings..... Not siding with anybody. Had similar experiences with a few quite good restaurants and went back subsequently only to discover that the earlier experiences were not repeated and standards are as good as the good old days. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
