So our dinner order was as follows:
Tom Yong Gong Soup
Seafood Fried Rice
Stir-fry Kale
Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab
Green Curry Chicken
To start off with, the soup, which is a spicy sour delicacy, was BLAND, with just a tiny hit of the implied flavours, I felt like drinking the soup of an instant noodle dish overflowing with MSG, which it probably was.
The fried rice looked appetizing but also bland, with obviously frozen seafood that has lost its taste, and there was no seasoning in the dish at all.
The Kale was undercooked, by this point even uncooked vegetables didn't surprise me.
The Crab loses a lot of freshness already by deep-frying, to overcook it makes it tasteless. Herbs were also deep fried together, but the resulting taste was that of an inedible dry shrimp.
The Curry was the only thing that had taste, cuz the curry overwhelms the other elements. Chicken was a combination of cooked nicely and dry, and the vegetables were slightly overcooked, because aubergines, although delicate, should not collapse into mush when you pick it up.
Finally when we asked for the bill, it took way ofer 15 minutes, and when I pointed this out, the waiter made a remark like he didnt care which made me very irritated.
On a final note, they seem to be pushing alcohol instead of food, which makes me think, if you want to do that, serve simple snacks that anyone can get right, don't serve overcharged bland food.
So thanks for making me full, forget about the tasting portion, no thanks to an encore.
