They can't expect us to eat at fast food pace! (and the 5mins smoked Pomfret was indeed classic!!!) <br /><br />Now that you mentioned it, I recall waitstaff were calling many incoming customers by their last name as soon as they step in. I guess frequent diners might get a slightly better service? Perhaps time to test it out again next time I go and be more observant regarding their services. <br /><br />Back when the Happy Valley outlet was still around, their food was very good (better than my visit described above). I think it is possible that with more seats and diners to serve at this new location, the quality of the food was affected slightly ... just a wild guess of course ... <br /><br />But the BBQ Pork Char Siew was really cook ... sudden craving for it now! :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065954132923109958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-41237438507989852162010-03-11T12:22:12.202+08:002010-03-11T12:22:12.202+08:00i remembered i tried this restaurant a year ago..b...i remembered i tried this restaurant a year ago..but not a very good experience for me that time thou..it was for a friend's bday..the restaurant was all packed but service was quite disappointed. We got a feeling they are more attentive and favor in older generation's clientele..probably because they think they would order more (and)expensive dishes..We had 5 people that time, brought two really good red Burgandy...I would say,we ordered quite a lot of food on the table but turned out the experience was really so so..Greentea00https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228428340744355793noreply@blogger.com
