Bitchiness in a Claypot

Choong Kee Claypot Chicken Rice at Damansara Jaya is over-rated. Went there to have dinner with JJ and Bunny. According to reviews, the place is usually packed, so I guess SK and I were lucky that we easily found parking and just waltzed into to shop and sat at an empty table. Perhaps it was due to the rain and the Friday traffic. In the shop, I was greeted by an unpleasant greasy smell, I guess that should have been a warning for me. The other guests had not left the house yet, so SK and I just proceeded to order. True to reports, the lady boss was a real bitch. SK did the ordering and was treated with a brusque attitude. Seated at the next table were a couple who spoke in horribly-accented English. Felt like slapping them.

After twenty minutes, the stragglers had arrived and even our food came. We took the works~ with salted fish and Chinese sausage. The rice tasted burnt and the saltiness was overpowering. The steamed soup was average. JJ then proceeded to put in his order. Ten minutes later, the lady boss barged in on our conversation and started 'interrogating' us about our order:

Bitch: Wei. You ordered separately is it?! You see! Padan muka you la. One up here, one down here. Surely you complain orders take long to arrive la. Your own fault!

Moi: Oi. We ordered separately on PURPOSE. And we did NOT complain. You're the one who came here complaining.


JJ's pot of claypot chicken was the basic variety but he added egg. Truthfully one egg for a large pot is not enough to make any impact to the taste, but his pot was much better tasting. Inconsistent quality. And the waitress messed up the bill. She included our order although we had paid earlier. Anyway, I'm not going back there again. We had drinks next door, Cinta Ria @ DJ. Not bad, but they mixed up Bunny's order of ice cream cake which launched JJ into his protective mode. Hehe. Didn't stay long. Left before ten and headed home...

Oh after reading Medie's blog, I have another read here to boycott this shop as well. I always take bloggers' comment seriously about Good & Bad movies or dining outlets.

Ada banyak review yang "paid" punyer...

@Twi:
Oh, he hated it too? XD. But sometimes, taste is subjective. Movies lagilah susah.

If you think this is over-rated, you should try those claypot chicken rice restaurants in California, London, Paris, and even Beijing, I bet you'll either kill yourself or the owner of the restaurant before you leave the place.

@Grat:
You didn't give her a piece of your mind?

@Nicky:
Next time I bring you there.

@-Alex-:
Unfortunately, people like to be tortured.

@FreshG:
Welcome! On the contrary, I forgive those who operate overseas because there is difficulty in getting ingredients and they may have to 'adjust' the taste to other palates.
