Let me start off with one sentence: I have never been so pissed off by a restaurant before.huffy

Me and my boyfriend bought a deal off a deal website for this dimsum buffet that was $19.90 nett per person and it claims to have over 100 types of dimsum for you to choose. Sounds good right? So we bought this deal for our anniversary.

Upon arrival, we noticed that the restaurant isn't really decorated properly. We thought it's alright, as its the food that matters. We went in and they just shoved us 2 menus that are specially created for the dimsum buffet. Let me tell you, the menu is not even properly created. There are no pictures or whatsoever, just all of the dishes typed out black and white on a A4 sized paper.

We went with high hopes because we are dimsum fanatics and when we saw the menu, our faces changed. It seemed like some of the items are only there to fill up the menu. Etc: Siew Mais they have the prawn, chicken, pork, crab types? Then hargow they spilt into premium and non premium. Spring rolls spilt into premium or non premium. Baos also.

So again, we let it go. Then we wanted to order and there was this China waitress that came to serve us. We asked her about the dishes and she gave us a black face telling us "I don't know about this dish you order and try la" in Chinese. HOW RUDE IS THAT?! So again, we just ordered because it was a happy day and we didn't want to ruin anything.

Guess what? She told us to not order so much because they won't be able to handle it. I was speechless. It's not called a dimsum buffet for nothing.

We ordered basic dimsum dishes like hargow, siew mai and a few deep fried dishes. The dimsum all tasted like they were frozen and then heated/deep fried. Honestly, my expectations for food is really, really low because dim sum from food republic can taste good to me. And honestly, the food is horrible. Because they have a few types of wanton on the menu, I asked the waitress which one is fried and she told me "I don't know you know" in a super rude tone. huffy

Then, we ordered Xiao Long Baos. C'mon who can screw up this dish right? We were proven wrongly when our xiaolongbaos were served and immediately when we tried to pick it up it broke and the soup seeped all over the table. We asked the waitress for tissues and she just dumped it on our tables and we had to clean up ourselves. huffy

They kept forgetting our orders and delivering the wrong food and the people around us were all getting angsty waiting. We gave up with the main dimsum dishes because they were simply horrible and we tried the desserts strawberry and mango mochi. We didn't even bother finishing it because seriously, the standard is very low.

This is by far the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. All of these are my honest opinions and feelings during and after the buffet and I'm not saying anything to tarnish their name. To be honest, halfway through the meal I nearly cried because I felt so cheated by the deal and angry with the waitress.

I really am pissed off with them for ruining my anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. Never, ever, EVER going back.huffy
