Let's start off with the positives, the Roti Canai was beautiful…read more
The Roti was fresh, flakey, hot and melt in your mouth consistency, paired with a moreish beef curry sauce (no meat). The perfect starter to our meal.
For the main, the beef Ho Fun was steaming hot with great texture, and had the perfect meat/veg/noodle ratio. The sliced beef was tender, and the vegetables added a nice fresh crunch to the dish. (Spring onion, bean sprouts)
Jen asked the waitress for a recommendation who answered that the "Chefs special fried rice" was very popular and the most ordered fried rice dish.
Naturally she ordered this, though, after placing our order, we sat waiting for what seemed an eternity between, my main (Ho fun) coming out, and the fried rice main. When it came out, it was hot, had a larger than average portion size, which compensated for it's absolute lack of anything good.
This was made very apparent by the utter and pure disappointment in Jen's facial expression upon tasting this "Chefs special fried rice".
Which was essentially a brown coloured steaming heap of MANURE, for $14.
It tasteless with the absence of seasoning.
We had our fingers crossed, for a moment of redemption when Jen pushed her spoon through the yolk of the fried egg which topped the dish, hoping for a runny flow of orange gold....but instead was met with a dry, chalky over cooked rubbery puck.
The type of yolk that sticks in your throat. Abysmal.
After two mouthfuls, the disappointment was too much for Jen, she battled with the idea of taking it home in a container, or to approach the staff to query whether something was missing.
She was met with a defensive front of house, who proceeded to take the dish to the Chef which we could hear yelling "that's how it's supposed to taste".
We were met with no compensation while the meal was dumped in the bin right in front of us.
TLDR; SHITTY FRIED RICE, but get the Roti :)
