Bad Service Ruins Steamboat Lunch

We went for a steamboat lunch at Mizi Shabu- Shabu at Puchong Puteri or somewhere with the similar name after checking out from the hotel for the Happy Together camp. The place looked presentable, everything looked interesting including the food served, food tasted pretty good. Perfect lunch? Mmm.. nope, it wasn't.

Sad isn't it? Our lunch was actually ruined by very bad service! As creative students from the photographic department, it is actually a common sight to see a "huge" digital SLR be used to take group pictures and pictures of presentable food. Now, why not? We don't use mini cameras, we only use big ones. A bitch came to inform us that their company does not allow photos to be taken inside the restaurant or something as they have some copyright shit. Copyright my foot. What's so special about that place? The cooker thing stuck inside the table? Hello? Get real. We can order similar cooking gadgets from overseas! Their interior design? I don't think so! Food? Ahem.. normal food- not worth the lawsuit. So we explained to her in the most basic words that the pictures are just for memories. Bitch she was, she actually ended our conversation with "Lim Kok Wing students bring approval letters when they take photos". I added (just as spitefully) "For a meal and taking pictures for memories - an approval letter? That's absurd!" Indeed it is!!! How many letters will the college need to issue photo students as we go around taking pictures with our SLR or digital SLR cameras during family and friends' gatherings at COPYRIGHT restaurants?? Stacks of them? S.T.U.P.I.D. The restaurant, by the way, did not place any signs to indicate the ban towards big cameras.

Worse thing happened after that, she actually took a picture of Oufei to 'remember' and 'mark' him. OK. Get real, people. Which 'spy' would actually bring such a huge camera with a bunch of 9 hungry people for spy jobs? * sigh *

Later we had bunch of gossipers serving us, whispering at hushed tones while looking at us as well from the sidelines. OK, getting annoyed. As soon as most of us were done, another bimbo, (oops sorry.. not pretty enough to be one!) I mean annoyee gave us a bill (we didn't call for any as Oufei wasn't done yet) and we had to pay up. Instantly after that, a school of mad fish swam towards us to collect our dishes back, stirring up a minor tug of war with Oufei's unfinished plates and bowls. *heads shaking from side to side in despair*

In retaliation for a lunch ruined, I wrote on the receipt these exact words.
"Your service is very bad. It is time to improve if you have 'copyright's' standard.
p.s. Nobody wants to steal your ideas. It's not worth it"

Left it for the cashier for the management, and left.

What a horrible, horrible lunch. Please.. for your sanity to be intact, avoid the said restaurant for your well-being.
