of fish and chips...
This entry is posted at the request from wifey. She wants me to write about this eating place that in our opinion is a bit too expensive. So here goes. This weekend was a long weekend for us and we as usual, we go jalan jalan a bit at the shopping mall. Thinking that the new Queensbay mall might be packed we decided to have a walk see at. Wifey wanted to catch a movie as we anticipate that once girl girl is hear, we will not be getting a chance to do so for some time. But when we got to Gurney, it seems that it has not lost any of it’s attraction to the new queensbay mall. The place is still as crowded as ever. We didn’t get to catch the movie that we wanted to watch as all the tickets were sold out. (the ones left are the front rows). So we thought we should go to have a nice dinner instead.
We went to this franchise restaurant place at the ground floor. Wifey ordered their mushroom soup and fish n chips. And I ordered their beef pie (and soup). We also noticed that the price of the stuff there have increased since the last time we went there. Even the ‘freshly squeezed orange juice’ had had a price increase and worse still is that is not freshly squeezed anymore, rather, freshly stored in a bottle and poured out. I think rm11+ for a glass of orange from the bottle is a bit too much. I am not that particular about food but I think their beef pie is not as good as it used to be. According to wifey, the fish and chips were awful. Wifey is very particular about her fishes and her comment on the fish n chips are :the fish is cold (actually: the batter outside were crunchy and hot, but the fish inside is cold). But the ultimate sin is that the fries were soggy! I could have swore that that dinner will go down the history books as the only time when wifey did not finish her fries. And don’t get me started on how much wifey likes fries, sometimes I even think that she likes fries better than me. I am just lucky that that Ronald McD guy dress weird (not to mention the hair and exceptionally white foundation that he use), else wifey would have ran off with that freaky guy many many years ago.
Anyway, back to this awful dinner experience, the hatchet came down when we got the bill. All that for RM92++. Definitely not worth it. I guess that will be the last time in a long while before we set foot at that Dome restaurant again. Personally, food is one thing, but if they expect their customer to pay they would have to up their service. Let’s see, one waiter was chatting over the phone and one was flipping thru the newspaper on the counter which probably explain why I thought that comparatively it is easier to get the attention of a primate in botanical garden than to get my bill.
Anyway, hope it does not deter you from going as I think they do serve good food (esp the mushroom soup) albeit the service and price.
