Food Post - Forgot To Mention... And I Had To
I went to Imperial Treasure Restaurant at Suntec City last Thursday, before Hairspray. We thought we could give it a go cos the Crystal Jade one that we want to go has a long queue.
It provided the worse service one can get from a Singaporean Chinese Restaurant. I had such a bad experience, I would only give it a * for the Xiaolong Bao we had, which is relatively good.
Other than that,
P's Zha Jiang Noodle didn't arrive, even after I've finished my plain noodles in soup with Stir-fried Beef,
Which didn't taste as good compared to Crystal Jade anywhere,
When we told the service staff that the Li Bai Drunken Chicken has a very strong chinese wine taste, she asked, "It is suppose to be a drunken chicken, it is suppose to have a wine taste. It's different because it uses wine from China."
Like duh. We requested if we could change the chicken for one with lesser wine taste, she replied "So you want plain chicken, or chicken with wine? You can only have either of these." We decided to go with the plain one, and when it came, we realised that the chicken was already marinated with wine prior to being served. So that's what they called "plain chicken"? What's more infuriating is that unlike other restaurants, the service staff NEVER offer to reduce the amount of wine, and simply brushed off our comments.
Maybe we don't speak Japanese, like the family sitting next to us.
We asked for the bill after we cancelled the order of the Zha Jiang Mian, since it didn't come. Waited for 10 mins for the bill to come, and the Mian was not cancelled from the bill. The staff said she would change the bill. Another 10 mins went by, and we had to signal a senior aunty-looking staff, who came back with the same erronoeus bill. It was promptly corrected. We left 5 mins later.
It was a lousy dinner experience, and fortunately, we got over it with popcorns from the movie theatre.
So if you want to have a go at Imperiod Treasure Restaurant (at Suntec), try at your own risk.

Thank you for the food review. If you happen to go Causeway point Horizon foodcourt level 5. The chinese stall selling congee and other noodles, a particular worth-to-mention is their Zha Jiang mian(minced pork noodles), which I find it nice and cost $4 a plate.
Thank you! One of my church friend's wife works in that food court. Would remember to eat from that stall when we go again. :)
