2 of my friends and I were searching for some quality pasta nearby, and we found this restaurant at openrice which has received generally positive reviews. With reasonable expectation, we booked a table in advance. The answerer was unfriendly. What a great start. I have to admit I can get a bit picky when it comes to food (especially Western food); and in addition there might be prejudice due to an unpleasant booking experience . However, our visit was DISASTROUS to say the least.1)To kickstart
I have to admit I can get a bit picky when it comes to food (especially Western food); and in addition there might be prejudice due to an unpleasant booking experience . However, our visit was DISASTROUS to say the least.
1)To kickstart our night is a bowl of cream soup. Well, we don't know what it exactly contains as the waiter just said it is "cream soup". It might not be the worst soup you can ever have, but it comes with a disgusting texture, being too dense; and my friend feels that a lot of flour is added into the soup. 3/10
2)We had Oysters with squid ink spaghetti. This was the most impressive dish out of a bunch of crap. The sauce was well-flavoured. However, the oysters were not fresh. 4/10 for me.
3)The next one is a Scallop with Fusilli in cream sauce. As expected, scallops are not fresh and the pasta was overcooked. Sauce was ok. 3/10
4)Here it comes one of the worst dish I have ever come across. Clams and assorted mushrooms with spaghetti in white wine sauce. The clams are not fresh, has no taste, and the sauce nearly filled up the whole plate which effectively made it like soup. (well, to be precise, its more like water) Not to mention how bad it tastes. "Bor Jai microwaved food" can do a million times better than this. 1.5/10
5)The last one was also a disappointment. Duck Breasts with spaghetti in Red Wine sauce. Overcooked duck breasts and pasta; and the taste of the sauce is unsophisticated. Poor cooking technique. 2.5/10
In addition to the already saddening food, the service was even worse. The waiter was generally unhelpful, uninformative and rude. Also, the fact that there was no baked food for the night just piled up our misery. In addition, the air-con above keeps dripping and we have to prevent placing our food on one of the tables. Ridiculous. (We actually avoid telling the waiter as he is so unhelpful.)
IN CONCLUSION, PLEASE, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, DO NOT VISIT THIS RESTAURANT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE TRUST ME OR YOU WILL REGRET.
