Pre-Merdeka!

I would like to proclaim that a certain supposedly high-end Thai Restaurant located in GE Mall have just been nominated as THE WORST #@%$&?! EATERY in Kuala Lumpur! It was by far the crappiest service I’ve ever been subjected to. Paris Hilton was treated better in the slammer! As efficient as a wooden frying pan, even worse than that famous Chinese restaurant in Soho, London, the irony is that the one in Soho ‘IS’ designed to be rude as part of the exaggerated ,’in your face’ kinda service. My dearest used to have a laugh when he brought his square English friends & office mates there to be welcomed with , “U with ugly blouse, how many? 3?…up!up! upstair!....(after 10 minutes ) So? Ready?What u want?. The MatSallehs would go, “Oh! How very rude! Like Jajar Binks would say….

Anyways back to the story.. 12 of us came in at 8.30pm with growling tummies to celebrate mum’s ## birthday. ½ an hour later, the dishes came 1 by 1! Guess what time the rice came? 10pm!!! 10 fricking pm! 2 hours before midnight! The thing was, no one came to explain or apologized! This is Thai mind you not a Chinese dinner course. The thing is, it wasn’t as if we were the quietest bunch of people. Each one of us played our parts in being the disgruntled unsatisfied customer.

Finally it took 1 Bangladeshi staff with balls of steel the size of coconuts to say that the rice would be ready in 5 minutes time and the delay was because they ran out of rice! It was the most oxymoronic stating the obvious statement of the year. Surely the Manager (The one with Nata de Coco balls the size of an Amoeba) could have foreseen the shortfall! It wasn’t as if we just came in. The family who arrived the same time was happily burping away at the next table. Surely he could have bought some rice from Cozy Corner next door! But no! The brainless twit prefers his customers to blog about how shitty his services are rather than explain the situation to us!

Please! Pretty please with roses on the side. If any of you happen to be in the food business or in any business dealing with hospitality , please don’t ever treat your clientele like that. If I experience a good meal, I might tell my good friend but if I am served as above then I’ll bitch and bitch and bitch with as many of its potential customers…. Word of mouth goes a long way….especially bad ones.

People deserve better for what their money is worth!

What's worse was that we were playing host to a couple of Singaporean. On the eve of our 50th Merdeka some more! shishhh....
