Da Gu (big uncle) is going overseas to work, extra 5k allowance, for two years. He gathered almost everyone today and gave us a treat to No Sign Board (Vivocity). I don't really know about him but it felt really bad to me, leaving his wife, and 4 kids behind. Although he gets to come back every month for meeting and he brings around 15k home each month, not including yearly bonus-es(he get like 6mth bonus in total, 1 month more than me.).
Anyway .. to talk about the restaurant. I give the food 4.5/5 but i would rate the service only 2.5/5 considering that i always have to ask them to constantly refill our tea and the basic stuff like clearing your plates for you and exchanging it with a new one when its filled, with like for example prawn shells, crabs shell etc. Yeah to me its the basics of any restaurant. Probably your running short on staff, fine. At least do bother to get your manager to come and ask if the food is ok, apologise if theres any unsatisfied customer, compliment a dessert or something. Bring in some samples of new food that the restaurant is promoting. I mean come on, thats common sense. Customer service right, don't care if the customer is rich, don't care if he's a regular, and obviously don't care if he's chinese, english, malay, black, white, skinny or fat. Famous or not, treat them fairly. We came in when there's nobody at all, filled up two of ur tables, do we not deserve some lets say - 'small talk'?

butter crab.


chilli crab.

Anyway i highly recommend the butter crabs, 5/5. You can even lick the shell if you want, cause the taste of the butter is so irresistable. And if you love crabs, i'd introduce you another slighly cheaper restaurant which is 'Long beach', they have one at East Coast Park along the stretch of restaurants. Do try their 'pepper crabs' & 'chilli crabs' and also 'buttered cereal prawns'.
And once again, share with me the after feelings of it, do email me :D lastly, enjoy your meals.

Eat not for the sake of living, but for the pure enjoyment of how/who its prepared for you, and of cause. There's a story behind every dish, the hard work behind it, spare some time to understand it, savour it.


P.s i miss your spagetti..
