Maid & Butler

Current Mood: Angry

So Kinyu’s first paycheck is here and we went on a date at Mid Valley. We’re both tired of thinking of where and what to eat although there’s a ton of choices in Mid Valley alone. So we were walking towards the Gardens via the lower ground center court and saw Tony Roma. We were contemplating weather to eat at Sushi Zanmai (Kinyu wanted to bring me to Sushi Zanmai but he got lost :P) or Roma so in the end we chose Roma since we haven’t been there before.

It was a BIG BIG disappointment.

Let me start from their service. They are very, very slow. They mixed up our orders (Kinyu ordered a Roma serving of ribs but they gave him a lunch portion and insisted that it’s the Roma portion when asked). And they talk back! I was quite geram when the waiter told us that he’s busy taking orders and running back and forth the kitchen. Like hell I care! He should have just apologized and get his butt to bring our food!

Next, the taste. It was nothing special really. The portion was moderate, unlike many ppl who told me that it’s HUGE, fit for two? Quite unlikely. It’s slightly larger than normal portion, say Ola-Ola’s Sirloin steak, OK maybe you donno where’s Ola-Ola (it’s a cosy restaurant that serves western and local dishes at Ipoh Garden East, near Tesco, at the same row as Vicinity Perak, good food + reasonable price), but definitely smaller than Friday’s/Chillis. Kinyu enjoyed his ribs though. But it wasn’t enough for him, so being the nice and pretend-to-eat-lesser gf, I gave half of my share to him. My fried steak was bigger than his ribs and I quite like the sauce that came with it. The steak is too dry for my liking. The thing I like most would be the potato skin. The mash was ok but still prefers Friday’s and 4 years ago’s Sony Ericsson cafeteria. SE’s cafeteria has the BEST mash potatoes IMO. Now they don’t serve it anymore I think.

At the end of the day, we found out that the waiter got our orders wrong because we tally it with the receipt and the table next to us where a guy had the REAL Roma serving of ribs. Sighing, we decided that it’ll be a long time until we visit this restaurant again.
