The restaurant that just wasn't to be

Went to this restaurant called Restaurant Hee Lai Ton in Kajang to have dinner tonight, but it is also the last time. Not coming back ever again.

We ordered a set dinner, all the dishes were ok except for this fish dish. It was overcooked, and tasted really rough. It felt like the fish was not defrosted properly and cooked for a tee wee bit too long. So the texture was not fresh, and tasted lousy. We all took one bite and left the rest untouched.

We complained to the captain, she took a sample of the fish and went to talk to the chef, BUT she never came back. We asked for the bill, and noted that the fish was still counted in the bill. So we called the captain again and ask her about her follow up to the fish dish.

Know what her answer was? The chef said that this 7 Star Fish from Sabah is supposed to be cooked this way and the texture is just as it was supposed to be. We could not believe it! These people are taking us for a ride! It's as if they think that we have not eaten this type of this fish before, this is such an insult to our intelligence!But wait, this is not the best part, then she made the excuse that she was waiting to check with her lady boss how and where did she buy the fish blah blah blah.. and that was why she did not come back to us. The lady boss so happened to have gone out couple of minutes ago and that is why she was waiting for the lady boss to come back in 5 minutes. Sigh.. such lame excuse.

When we try to reason it out with her, she was still trying to use the same lame excuses on us. The captain still did not understand where she went wrong.. she continued with her defense that we are not allowing her time to solve the problem, that she was waiting for her lady boss to come back, that the fish was supposed to cook that way.. We ultimately left without arguing further, but we have emphasised that we will not be returning to this restaurant ever again.

But I plan to go one step further and publish it on my blog so that more people can read about this "wonderful" experience which we encountered today.

Oh, and to make sure that you don't mistaken this outlet with the rest, I have taken a photo of it to ensure no mistaken identity.. Remember, it's the one at Wisma Metro Kajang, Kajang.
