26th July 2013,
Hi everyone! Its my day off after my
graduation and I seriously am pissed. For starters, my certificate is not out
yet, so I couldn't legalise it yet in the department of Education. therefore I
need to come back to Malaysia to legalise it around December.
Sadly, that's not the reason I'm
fuwious. (Anyone watched BBT? Kripky's speech is so adorable!) I'm fuwious because
of a certain restaurant called Manhattan Fish Market.
Instead of going to Putrajaya to legalise
our 'cough cough' documents, we (as in me and Connie <3 ) head to Alamanda shopping mall for lunch
and my search for Revlon Colourstay.
We enter hoping for lunch, we ordered the 'Set of the Year' with a Revive Tropical Breeze and a Revive Gummy Bear as beverage.
In this set are:
- One Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter,
- 1 Garlic Herb Mussels,
- 2 Drinks (With the choice of Revive Coca Cola/ Revive Gummy Bear/ Revive Tropical Breeze)
All for RM 53.90
(Meaning RM 26.95 per person!)
Let me give a spoiler, the appetisers
awesome! <3 <3 <3 The Gummy Bear is super cute, and freshening! Sadly, the food
sucks.
What? The food sucks you say?
Yes. My platter was a disaster!!! Let me
describe my worst RM 30 per person meal.
The rice:
- Hard,
- Brittle,
- It tastes weird
- It frickin smells like cheap rice,
- Its cold, not butter soft and snaps like cheap rice.
Fish:
- Fish fillets are FTW babes!!!
Prawns:
- Crunchy,
- Chewy,
- Cheapsome!!! Cheaply Awesome!
Squid & Clam:
- Mushy,
- Soft (in a way that makes you go EWW after a few pieces.
Vegetables:
- Okay. As in just OK.
French Fries:
- Well, more like not crunchy.
The Saving Grace was in the Appetizers! At
least not all of the RM 30 went wasted!
Appetizer:
- Mussels are FTW
Drink:
- Gummy bear; Was OK
and yet still!!! Can things get so ridongkulous?
Service:
- Two staffs (not waiters) didn't understand when I say: "Can you reheat the food please?" Like WTF?
Rate: 2/5 (and yes, the Mussel Appetizers
saved the day from a 2 my friend would give.)
VERDICT: I wouldn't go to Manhattan Fish Market again for lunch. For a student like me, RM 30 is a big amount. In my place, a normal Mamak food costs approximately RM 6- 8 a dish. Okay, at least not in Alamanda branch again.
This wasn't my first time eating in MFM Alamanda. I went there few months prior for a lunch with my Boyfriend and the food was as bad. Damned it. I thought it was because we used a Groupon Food Coupon, so they gave us the more 'uglier' food. Turns out that it was like that all along.
If you think this is mean, my friend's review:
- The rice smelt like flead rice
- It was cold when it arrived on our table
- The fries are mushy, soft and tasteless.
- The squid was too salty but allowed to pass
- The veggies were pale
- The prawns were okay
- and The Scallops were a saving grace.
So here are some pictures of the food. I still can feel that sucky rice every time I see it.
Yes, it looked delicious... BUUUTTTTT...!!!!
LOOK! Dry! Sticky! ICKY! UGLIEE!!!!! #ChokeMFMAlamanda
