i met up with my mum for dinner.. and you know what? i find the jap restaurant so strange!
i shall not mention the place nor the name of the restaurant k? haha..
following is the list of events that happened from the time i walked in to the time i walked out of that restaurant :-
- i walked into the restaurant with no one at the entrance to attend to me or anyone else for that matter.. but nvm.. i found my mum..
- we were then served a plate of peas as appeitizer.. to later realise that we needed to pay $4 for that pathetic plate of veg we didn't even order! if it were you.. would you have thought that it was complimentary? coz i sure did!
- the waitress gave my mum a nice hot towel to wipe her hands.. but i think i was either too thin(which can't be possible) or invisible to be noticed -.-'' but she could ask me what drink i would like.. so nvm.. we ask just for one hot towel..
- we took our orders.. and the waitresses didn't know the respective japanese names to the items on the menu -.-'' o.....k.... then i asked myself "i'm in a jap restaurant right?"..
- to those who know jap food well.. you'll know what is Shishamo(i think this is the spelling, at least).. but the waitresses didn't know and they said "huh?"... aiyo! can they at least say something like "could you run that by me again?" or as simple as "come again?" -.- but in any case.. when we said we wanted the pregnant fish.. they said they have it.. (i think this jap restaurant is like super "Kantang")..
- i wanted something off the menu... Salmon Ikura Don(Salmon and Roe with rice)... when i asked the waitress.. she said she didn't have.. 5min later she told me she has it.. but guess how much did it cost? $45!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY TIAN!!! no way la! like macam my rice made out of gold sia.. so i ordered Unagi(grilled eel) Don..
- i usually like the pickled radish they serve along with the main course.. so i asked if i could have more.. guess what? it costs $1 for one puny plate of pickled radish -.- they really know how to earn money man.. my mum was so cute la.. she wanted to ask for an extra serviette but she said she was afraid it might cost her $1 for that too.. hahahaha!
- so after we ate our meal.. we naturally asked for the bill.. and i can't believe that it takes 10-15min to print a simple receipt -.- and yet another 10-15min to return the change.. aiyo!!!
i've concluded that i no longer like that place.. they weren't short of staff.. but i don't understand why they like to group around and not serve.. other tables had to like wave they hands so vigorously to get their attention... aiyo aiyo.. call me fussy la.. but i don't think that was good service judging by the amount we had to pay.. it's just below expectations la.. really
-sushi tei is still my choice-
