I don't normally go to Empire Shopping Gallery but since we were in the vicinity one Saturday in May 2013, we stopped for lunch. We did not know what to eat and fianlly settled for this restaurant since it is the same name as the famous restaurant in London (not sure whether there is a connection though apart from the name).

The service was not bad actually and the lady who took our order was quite efficient. But then again, that's when the problem started. I was there with my wife and 8 year old daughter and since it was our first time, we did not their portion sizes. After taking our order, I asked again whether we ordered too much and she said it is OK.
So, please see for your self.
A quarter of a goose at RM 60. |
Spicy fried rice with roast pork |
Fried kailan |
Fried long beans |
Meehoon braised with pork belly |
Aromatic duck |
Well, when one of their pancake had a hole, I asked for some additional and they actually charged me RM 8 for 4 pieces of pancake.
When we found out the food was too much, we tried to cancel the aromatic duck but they would not allow us.
We finally had to pack about half the food but the experience spoilt our appetite and mood. When we asked for the manager or boss, there was no response.
The restaurant seemed on pushing orders and not actually pleasing customers. The prices are also not cheap. The bill came to slightly below RM 200.
I have also checked some of the reviews on food blog and quite a number have also negative responses and experience.
Well, this would probably be my first and last trip here. So, I will not even provide contact details of this restaurant.
Until the next time, cheers.
Perhaps you need to try out their roasted duck as they managed to maintain the roasted duck quality same like London
ReplyDeleteRoasted duck must be served freshly roasted. If not , it's simply not up to the mark , no matter where you have it. Try Sunshine in Sea Park . Be warned : Don't be surprised if ducks sold out before 1 pm .
