Steak steak and steak My laptop is dying. Really sad. Can't even work properly for 1 minute. i just quickly saved the most impt thing - the script i'm currently working at - and indeed, it hanged. I had 2 delicious dinners yesterday and today! It was both very meaty. I usually eat more veges than meat. But with a lot of rice. But yesterday I was at Great World City eating Jack's place, i ordered the Mixed Grill! It's quite yummy, it's got a bit of everything so i don't get sick of eating just the steak. :) And today, my bro treated us and a few of our uncles and aunt to Equinox, @ Swissotel. Dad's 60th. We got a birds eye view cos we sat at the window, but honestly i don't think that's a very big 'wow' factor cos i pass by the expressway often enough to memorize the picture of the CBD area. So yeah. I prefer to eat with the backdrop of natural scenery, which isn't available in Singapore unfortunately. But we could see the construction of IR! Which i'm more interested in, actually. Too bad our window seat is on the other "better" side, where minimal construction activities of the IR was seen. Anyway, the food is pretty good! Service too. But my view is that their service is "you pay how much = the level of service we provide". They are all friendly and warm during the course of the meal, attending to every need with excellence. After the main course we didn't order dessert, so they stopped pouring sparkling water for us. When it's actually free flow but each person has to pay $5.50 for that *sparkling* water. Oh well. The main course, as all "high class" restaurants are, will never fill an Asian stomach. Honestly. The portions are so TINY! I wonder why Westerners have a higher percentage of obesity if they eat such small portions. If we didn't help ourselves to more bread for a start, i bet we'd return home cooking instant noodles for supper or smth. But having said that, i'd give the overall rating of 7/10. They allowed us to store birthday cake with them and even arranged when we wanted the cake to emerge. Unfortunately, we see the difference between the table of foreigners next to us and our table. Cos they ordered the birthday cake in-house, they had the waiters and waitresses singing the birthday song loudly for the 85year old grandma. But cos our cakes were brought in from outside, our birthday song was sang quietly and by ourselves. Lol. well i'm just suggesting that perhaps they can consider going an extra mile to put themselves into the customer's shoe. If the aim of the restaurant is to give excellent service, then do it to the best of their abilities. Right? That means not to discriminate customers according to how much we spend in their restaurant, but rather serve with a sincere heart to want to provide best service. Labels: daily rantings 1:57 AM
