Where can you find a decent lunch for RM0.60? Heck, where can you find anything at Renaissance Hotel for RM0.60? Well you can if you have a RM50 food voucher that is, hehehe...
Popped over to Renaissance Hotel this afternoon. I initially wanted to try Marche at Renaissance. But dont get this mistaken for the marche at The Curve, its a High Class restaurant not the same concept as the french market... So anyway, looked at the price list and it was like RM89.90 for the buffet, so HELL NO! thats way over budget. Then i was too lazy to look around so i went to the nearest cafe in the hotel - Vogue Patisserie Cafe, its at the ground floor near the entrance, the buffet was priced at RM69.90 so still way over budget but i checked the ala carte menu and it looked okay and it was a health conscious menu as well, highlighting which food were low carb and stuff like that.
Reminder: If you aint loaded dont even think about going to Renaissance Hotel to eat okay!
I had a look at the drinks menu and RM12 for an ICE LEMON TEA!!!!!! I ordered it anyway! Then i had to choose a main dish, it was either Lamb cutlets or Grilled Salmon. I was doing the math and if i ordered the blardy salmon + the ice lemon tea including service and government tax i would only need to pay RM0.60, hahahaha. So grilled salmon it was.
After the waiter took my orders, he came back with a basket of Buns and butter! Oh , yummy i thought... The buns were not nice and too soft that i can't even use the knife to cut them into half, it would just be flattened like plastisin. And i think the butter was just taken out from the freaking freezer! Arrgghhh.. I was hungry so i didnt cared much about the shitty buns.
Next came my ice lemon tea, JUST THE WAY I DONT LIKE THEM! I hate ice lemon tea that comes without sugar and they are served with liquid sugar in a small cup for you to add according to your taste BUT IT NEVER DOES COME TO TASTE EVEN WITH TWO CUPS!
I could close an eye on the bread and the drink but when my salmon came it was like the size of my mobile phone but only twice the length and width, with some sprinkle of fried red and green pepper... WTF? I can get better meals than this at Chillis. The salmon was fresh though. The sweet sauce that was surrounding the salmon was not enough and the chef put too much salt in the middle of the salmon. Oh i almost forgot, the chef was so kind to include two super dried up lime which i was suppose to squeeze onto the freaking salmon. - dissapointed i tell you..
Anyway, when i asked for the bill and saw RM0.60, the dissapointment went straight away, i told myself "I`m not coming back here again"...
What you expect for RM0.60, ahahahaha

Inflation caused ppl to look like a dumbass to order a RM 12 ice lemon tea. Not even a bottle of beer in US cos that much after converted to RM.
Oh well, u tried and u can tell ppl not to go there anymore.

i can go to a high class restaurant in US and it wont cost USD 12 to get a glass of ice lemon tea.
I am not a high society, but i am a consumer.

Interesting~ Probably the restaurant that you dine is not that 'high class'.

Hello kevin, care to intro yourself...

hmm. yea, perhaps i am not high class enough. if USD$60 for a piece of sirloin is not, maybe i should check the rating of the chophouse again.
