I came here with a friend for a late dinner after a movie at the deckchair cinema.
We chose to dine here as we had limited time before venues started to close for the night. Both of us had tried chow before and weren't impressed (had the laksa and nasi goreng and both found the dishes very bland) but decided to give the place another go.
We got the salmon and pork belly clay pot and the chicken and Chinese sausage hotpot.
The salmon in the clay pot was in two big pieces and they were so hard and over cooked, they weren't eaten. The pork belly was very minimal and there wasn't much sauce at all.
The hotpot was totally flavourless, it tastes like chicken stock thickened with corn flour. There was just no depth of flavour and was very disappointing. The chicken tasted like it had been boiled in mass quantities and was just thrown in there at the end. A little caramelisation of the chicken or something may have improved the flavour. I left all of the chicken.
The staff seemed like they were ready to go home and were more interested in standing talking instead of serving us. They were quite snappy and abrupt.
We were asked how our dishes were at the end of our meal, we expressed our dissatisfaction and the girl said she'd let the chef know.
We went to pay and another girl asked how our meals were, we told her and her reply was 'oh, OK...'
Another member of staff appeared after we had paid and asked about our concerns, we let her know and she was shocked and asked how my friend had ate her salmon, and if she'd ate it with the sauce because that helps with the consistency of the salmon... Unfortunately overcooked salmon is tough and unpleasant, no amount of sauce is going to fix that...
Pretty disappointing to provide feedback and to be told that was uncommon... Maybe people are just too shy to say what they really thought of the meals.
We gave this place another go, but definitely will not return and will advise friends and family to try somewhere else.
