Dimsum Buffet @ China Treasures, Sime Darby Convention Center

Found a "new" place for breakfast – Dimsum Buffet @ China Treasures, Sime Darby Convention Centre. We were excited for this breakfast trip as it’s supposed to be a small celebration for my best friend.

Everything went well except the lady who served us. She was rather rude to us. I’m not sure if she’s got a double standard attitude or what but we felt that. We were treated badly and she even dare to argue back with me. The conversation goes like this :

I passed the order list to that lady and said : These are our order for now.

Lady : This is already so many!

Me : You mean you’re going to bring everything at one go to our table?

Lady : Yes, of course! (in a stern manner) Why don’t you order again later when you finish the first round?

Me : Well, nevermind. We’ll finish up slowly.

Lady : I’m just worried if the food becomes cold. Then that’s not good loh… (in a sarcastic way)

Me : You just bring the food here. We’ll sit here as long as we want!

We went there just to try out there food and wanted to relax after the long week of working but she’s spoilt our day. The whole morning, we just felt disturbed by this lady.

Their service was damn poor. After finishing our first round, we ordered another 2 plates of egg tarts, separately, one by one. The first plate came and my friend ordered another plate with another waiter (man). He then placed the order to the kitchen. Later the lady came and tidy up our table. Assuming that we’ve finished our food and rushed us to leave. We sat quietly thinking that the second plate of egg tart is coming but it didn’t show up. We asked the lady to check with the kitchen, and guess what’s the response of the lady?

Lady : Why don’t tell earlier?! I’ve tidy up everything only you say. (With a bad face, she went to the kitchen)

My friend told her to check with the kitchen. If the tarts weren’t ready, just leave it. We’ll leave and go. She then went to the kitchen but never came back. Until a very long time, my friend called her again asking about the egg tarts. She then only told us that the tarts were finished. *Pissed off!*

Paid the bill and left.

Frankly speaking, I wouldn’t want to come back to this place ever again. At the first place, it’s not easy to find such "ulu" place. With such service, I guess the best thing for them to do is to close down!

me1 To my surprise (again), the prizes for the 2008 Olympics Global Contest has reached me! I am one of the 200 winners (3 from Malaysia) of the third prize. Frankly speaking, I couldn’t remember exactly what was the contest about. All I could recall was that I remember there were a few questions asked on Olympics and a slogan to fill in.
