Was That A Gimmick Or Were We Too Late?

Saturday Night in the city... no, it is not a Saturday Night Fever dancing but a Saturday Night Dinner with Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant....


My fren Bel, booked the table earlier in advance for their latest promotion.... we were so excited!!

A 50 % DISCOUNT FOR THIS PACKAGE!

Looks good, hor?

We were looking forward to eating this promotion package... once a life time affair ma, so must treat ourselves a real good dinner, hor....

Then ah... when we placed our order, this young boyish waiter gave us the bad news of our lifetime! He said, "no more already, all finished."
HEY, fren.... it was only 7pm when we entered the restaurant, so fast finished???? Bel was quite furious and asked him, "Is this a gimmick? Luring us with this attractive package?" The waiter, sensing our disbelief, then said, "you can order another package, 88rm."



chey... not same one... this one no promotion, the menu is different, less varieties and more mostly too... mana eh sai



Feeling disappointed, I thought of getting up and walked away, but see, see, we have touched the groundnuts and the appetiser already... so no choice, have to look at the menu and see what's else to take instead....

Finally settle for TWO sets of the 88rm Package and one plate of fried noodles... there were 5 of us, hopefully enough la... eat little bit, little bit la... tam pok tam pok nia... sigh..

this one.... vinegarish type of soup....

this one also not very nice....

this one appetiser..
but not appetising for us...

three stalks of vegetable...
hey, each one one stalk, cukup ok?


we tot this is KFC
how come got KFC in this restaurant?

cut...cut... see see....
it was a pork rib nia...


a mini sized dumpling...


each of us one spoonful, ok?


so this is called Abalone!
mushroom and the what feet...
all cut into small pieces...
(sharing is caring ma..)


followed by this small bowl of dessert
haiyo..

if we didnt order this side dish, our stomaches would still be growling..
this dish cost us RM22 ...... so Expensive... lol....



After finishing our dinner, we had a good laugh... instead of coming here to have a nice great meal, we came here to pay for the "unexpected".... all these mini sized food came to RM242!!
In Ipoh, for RM242 for 5 persons, we can have a nice hefty delicious seafood meal .... lol.....
After this dinner, we went for SUPPER.... char koay teow and tailok mee!! Then only feel satisfied.... what a night!

  9. I think it is a gimmick.

    Anyway, I have went to Ah Yat before. We had a wonderful meal. About 10 of us but spent quite a lot, about RM1.5K. Hehe.

  10. it is ok KYChua... sometimes we r a bit blur blur..haha..esp when food is around, that is why i couldnt get up and walked away...

    I dont know it is gimmick or not, my fren booked the table 2 days earlier and we were on time ... maybe we didn't tell them the number of persons, that was why it was not enough for us...

  25. OMG! I can't believe my eyes. Just 3 stalks of siew pak choy? What a rip off! This place really must ban.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think for the price you pay, the serving size definitely is too small and not worth it. And some more you said the food not taste good? This is really bad.

    ReplyDelete
  27. actually one package is for one person.. but during that moment, we were already disappointed so ended up calling 2 packages only for 5 of us.. plus a plate of rm22 noodles..sigh..

    ReplyDelete
  28. Humph... u all get cheat liao la! Sure gimmick wan! I see a lot of restaurant use this tactic...

    ReplyDelete
  29. really, Cleff? how could they.. i guess only the rich could afford to eat such expensive food.. haha..
