Kids Are Cute, So Is 77
And you wonder why my maternal instincts are on overdrive. Will you just look at how cute those 2 little beings are?!
Borrowed wholly and prior to getting permission from Fish (hope you don't mind, but I'm too lazy to write about class dinner and we'll probably end up sounding the same anyway. :P)
"BEWARE! here is the start of a what might be a very vicious post.
finally after many confusing emails, half of 77 finally gathered for dinner at suntec. it started of promising, with most of us turning up on time :)
and then things took a turn for the worst. the queue outside f i s h a n d c o was crazily long, and unfortunately (i?) decided we might as well wait as most of the other restaurants were crowded. huge mistake. the promised 20-30 min wait turned out to be more than the 45 min we thought it might be, leaving us stranded tired hungry for an hour!
fortunately (so i thought) a waitress finally decided to take our orders so we'd be served the food faster when we got seated.. but she took three attempts to get our orders straight. so perhaps this is to be expected of a friday night.. but there's more to come! after waiting for another 15 minutes at least, the food finally appeared. in Takeaway BOXES!! eventually served on proper plates, the soggy fries tasted good, despite being squashed and only warm- that's what hunger does.
upon calling for the bill, slower ho (who wasn't slow at all in this one case) realised we were overcharged for our one-for-one drinks. in response to our queries, the waitress insisted it was only for citibank card holders, when clearly it was a promotion with no conditions. reluctantly she checked and later told us we needed to pay up first and then get -another- receipt for the actual cost. ?!?!?!
the last straw (before all was settled) was when another waiter brought more drinks that -they- thought were our missing "free one-for-one" drinks (as in, they thought we ordered 8 sets of 1-for-1s although we actually asked for 8 drinks in total). he spilt all the glasses of soda shortly after we burst out in bewildered laughter :S"
Everyone, boycott Fish and Co Suntec unless you like -
1. Waiting for an hour to get a table
2. Having your food served in plastic takeaway boxes when you actually intend to eat in
after getting that table you waited an hour for
3. confusing 1-for-1 deals!
Flea market was a blast today. Still waiting for pics, will blog about it soon! :D
