Five Star Hainanese Cuisine @ Bukit Timah

You know how people like to eat chicken rice? Especially the thigh part?

That’s what I did on few days ago. Went to Five Star Hainanese Cuisine @ Bukit Timah. The place was quite empty. We ordered 2 plates of Chicken Rice with thigh part only and chicken liver. My friend took a bite of the chicken and complained that there’s a weird smell. My chicken tasted alright but the chicken liver taste bad.

My friend asked for the bill and complained that the chicken and liver tasted weird. He took the message and passed it to the lady behind the counter, which looks like the lady boss. She came over with the bill and asked us rudely ‘What’s the matter?’ We told her the chicken taste weird. She took the plate of chicken and walked into the kitchen. She didn’t apologize at all. No explanation given. We were even charged extra for the wet towel that we didn’t took. Bad food, bad service. This is definitely one place that I could skip for live.

Cook Book Asia @ Great World City

Saw this new Makan Place in Great World City. Cook Book Asia. Just by hearing the name, makes my mind wonder back to many delicious food. So my colleague and I decided to give it a try. The 3 of us ordered Laksa and drinks. We got a shocked when we view the receipt. One bowl of Laksa cost $5.90 not inclusive of GST. Drinks at $1.90 each. Totaled up each person have to pay $8.35. Mc Donald meal doesn't cost that much.

I ordered Coke but they mix up my order and gave me barley instead, which is tasteless. Laksa was also tasteless. The worst part was, halfway through the meal, my colleague found a hair in her Laksa. And believe me, it’s very long.

We told the person in charge there that we found a hair inside. He took the bowl and walked into the kitchen. Came back with a new bowl of Laksa few minutes later. Told us that there will be no black hair only white hair (which means the noodle). What kind of sick joke is that? He didn’t apologize about it but instead he could make fun out of it. We could see how ‘Professional’ he was. Every bowl of Laksa comes with 2 prawns. My colleague ate one. In her new bowl there was only one Prawn. So we’re wondering whether did they took the prawn from the old bowl to save cost....
