... and what poor service we got. The place was full of people, so it looked like a good place (It was my second time there). Note one thing : NEVER judge a book by its cover.
When we went there, the waiter gave us our seats and took our orders. T'was okay till after that. We waited. And waited. And waited some more. Nothing arrived except for two cups of plain water (and there were 5 of us... don't they know how to count?). Guess what, the food arrived before the drinks... something I've first encountered at an eaterie. And they served our veggies after we finished our rice. Smart huh? We 'kindly' asked the man to take back the veggies and cancel it from out bill.
Now I compare this experience with my first time there. That day everything was fine. The orders came fine. We got everything... except maybe they switched someone's drink (who I think is Imran). We ate at good time, no waiting and asking when the order's arriving.
I can make two types of conclusion:
1. They judge their customers. On the first day, we wore 'respectable' looking clothes. Well, my mom didn't wear the sorry things she calls clothes (sorry Mama, but sometimes I just don't like how you look in jeans and T's ^^; ). She sometimes gets mistaken as a maid D; (I hate people who makes conclusions without getting the facts right). The 'Mat Salehs' get their orders pretty fast. And so are people who look 'rich'. On the second day... well, we were wearing kind of slacky clothes... and my father didn't help with the 'good first impression' part.
2. They've just gotten too big and can't handle their customers properly. Everything's out of hand. They don't even know what we ordered (our drinks were mixed up with some else's). Well, there were a lot of people there.... and the person who was in charge of our section didn't look like he could handle things properly. He was all 'kelam-kabut'-ish.
But its a real pity, the place has such good food. Kinda sad that it might go bad just because of poor management.

people can only assume and make presumptions based on looks if they don't know you well enough. you don't expect the mailman to sit an hour with your mum to come to the conclusion that she is the lady of the house and not hired help. sad as it seems, everyone gets judged by their looks. thats why you must always look presentable. nothing wrong with jeans and tees - just make sure it compliments you.
LoLZ... i think i know where you went...
It's amazing there's people going to that place... For one thing.. dom, family and me will not be there..
Judge by looks.. I have no idea why theres so much importance placed on it in today's world. Sad.
@Aunty- Once a man said to my mom 'Where's you punya tauke ah?' In front of our house gate. Pretty rude huh? Couldn't he have asked in a nicer manner? Well, my mom can't pull off the 'jeans and t-shirt' look. She's better in slacks, but she rarely wears them. And the weird thing is, she wears nice clothes at the wrong places *sigh*.
@Vanessa- Where did we go? I'll give you a free ice-cream treat if you get it right xD
