The Farewell- September 2009

Music: Tony Bennett- Cold, Cold Heart Mood: Gloomy

Dulan customer representative- "Say no to C***i's!"

Famous for not taking reservations, we waited outside for another 3 to arrive. Sam asked the hostess of the day, "Can we go in since 70% of us are already here, the other 3 will reach anytime too?"

The cocky hostess just looked at 7 of us, held up a hi-five hand and said blandly, "wait."

Obviously unsatisfied with her answer, Sam continue, "We've already been waiting for 10 mins, and we have a pregnant lady too, we just need to know whether you are keen to take in all f us?"

Again, she stretched out that no. 5 and frown, "I'm not sure, you need to wait."

We don't want to be bitchy customers, but what kind of customer- first service is this?? Sam is furious now, she then did her 'thang', "Look, you need to let us know early too whether you have a table long enough to fit in 10 of us, if not, just tell us and we'll look for another restaurant right now!"

Rude hostess gave us as-a-matter-of-fact-I'm still- winning-answer,"I'm waiting for them to set up the table, so you still need to wait here."

Sam is already burning, "Did you told us you are setting up your table just now?? Can't you just tell us you are setting up the tables earlier instead of saying WAIT WAIT WAIT??"

Rude hostess doesn't know how to answer but to float again from fight scene.

After awhile, she ushered us to the tables. We stared at the tables and looked at each other: For the love of God, they gave us 2 tables at a corner with very limited space and impossible to fit in 10 pax. Look, we weren't exactly very tiny and there's a preggar too, we can barely move! We called a waiter and asked to shift to a more spacious vacant table right at another corner (I wonder why they didn't let us sit there in the first place). He replied with a dumb answer, "I need to ask the hostess first."

Then came the rude hostess again. She put on an annoyed face and asked, "How may I help you?" We repeated our request and she threw in the same reply, "Wait."

I feel like punching her at this point of time!! It's a weekday, the restaurant is half full, nobody is occupying big tables why not just move us immediately???

She came back after a few mins and say, " Sure no problem, you can change table now." Damnit, the entire waiting process took us more than 30 minutes to settle down in a half empty restaurant!



Of course need to complain lah!

Angry emotions aside, dinner still goes on, lucky to have good friends around to cool down the mood.

They just became the main attraction of the night :P

The other happy "graduate" of the night.

Thank God the rest of the food did not hold a grudge against us.

Triple Dipper.

Chicken Caesar Salad

An extremely sweet dessert to end the dinner- Molten Chocolate Cake.

The lot can still scrap the last bit off the plate.
