Today is my friend's birthday. We was looking for somewhere to celebrite after he got off work in Tai Po. Everywhere was relatively packed, except Shakey's Pizza. So we decided to have dinner there (I went to TST one which was good).
We ordered a pizza, salad and pasta, which were pretty good. But then I ordered the Shakey's Special Sundae. It looked really good on the picture. 6 cones of ice cream, jelly and so on.
Then the sundae came, it was big but it was nothing like the picture. The whole thing was covered by lots of cream (I mean lots!) The jelly cubes were only those common ordinary ones, not tasting any good and texture was hard and too chewy.
They put small pieces of peanut on it, and it was dreadful... The peanuts just tasted like some terrible old oil, or it actually went bad already or I just don't know. The ice cream were only those (tri-color) ones from Dairy Farm. And it costed us almost $100 just for this crap.
We talked to the server and she was helpful, she told the manager and he came to us and we explained what was happening. When I told him for a dessert which costs almost $100, they shouldn't use ice cream from Dairy Farm (which doesn't cost much and doesn't taste good). And he replied, "We are not going to provide you the name of the brand that we are using." "Well, you don't have to answer. I'm just telling you. Cos' I can tell what it is."
But finally he offered to void it from our bill, I guess it was fair.
PS: How funny I was just telling my friend I had a dessert at the Panash Cafe the night before. Which was the huge ice cream with chocolate cake and cream. Which costed the same but it was much nicer and the chocolate cake was fresh, ice cream was good too. So, tonight experience was a big disappointment. And I felt sorry, since it was for my friend's birthday...
