You see, my fammy went to *ahem* Rising Sun Dim Sum Restaurant (I feel so bloody enlightened) for a rumoured $11 Dim Sum buffet as recommended by other cheena friends. In total we paid $62.50 (5 adults, 1 Kid which is $7.50) This totalling up to about $15 less than what we pay at a high class true hongky style place. (You know, those places where its THE BEST, but we pay by plate la. not all you can eat..)
So anyway, went in, the place wasnt so flash like what chinese restaurants in perth usually look like. But anyway, we came to eat the food, not the building itself. We were sat down at a normal table in this hugely sparse hall-like place filled with a okok lunch time crowd. So, being totally hungry and not having eaten any breakfast or dinner in the past 24 hours, I scanned the hall with my ever hungry fox-like eyes for the typical carts carrying those yummy morsels ^^
*SCAN TO THE LEFT*
*SCAN TO THE RIGHT*
*SCAN TO THE BEHIND OF ME*
*SCAN RIGHT INFRONT OF ME*
*SCAN TO THE RIGHT*
*SCAN TO THE BEHIND OF ME*
*SCAN RIGHT INFRONT OF ME*
Absolutely no cart whatsoever.
Just student waitresses standing around hoping to be perved on by the local china university students there for lunch (or more like.. the girls)
So I thought, ok, maybe coming out soon.
*WAIT*
Finally! so a trolley came out. You can actually see all the patrons eyes following the trolley like its so damn attractive. The steam it was emmiting never looked so yummy before in my entire life of going to dim sum restaurants.
Getting on, I tell you, those waitresses either need to realise that when you roll trolleys out, you must serve the patrons , or they need glasses cos they cannot see our existence. In the 2 hours we were there, I only saw 2 trolleys out with only 2 types of dim sum on each one and the rest of the waitresses brought out food on tiny trays every 10 minutes or so. I mean, you have a hall full of people and you bring out only 4 plates of siew mai at a time??!! I mean, the next time I saw siew mai walking out of the kitchen door was 30 minutes later!! Anyway, we weren't the only ones waiting, you could see other tables had stoned out faces as well. -.-
Then ah.. those waitresses if they see you putting your hand up, they totally ignore you and walk in another direction.
And then everytime we asked for a certain dish, it s always 'its coming'
SO GGGGGRRRRRR.
I thought that maybe we can put in an order so we didnt have to wait while the chef played with his utensils in his little sweet kitchen. So I ordered (see the desperation) so that confirmed chop stamp guarantee we would get our chee cheong fun.

THEN THE CHEE CHEONG FUN CAME OUT.
The waitress was walking towards us so we thoguth it was for us, then you know what the cow she did? she walked away and gave the chee cheong fun to a newly arrived ang moh couple! Ok, then even worse? this young waitress realised that a couple cannot finish 4 plates of chee cheong fun alone so what she do? she ask LAO BAN NIANG (lady boss) what to do with the last 2 plates.
and get this, they are standing right in the middle of the hall.
Young waitress : " what to do with these 2 plates?"
*all the patrons eyeing those 2 plates on her tray*
LBN : "aiyah just give that table there lah" *gestures to, WAH MIRACLE! our table*
I felt bad about starving the rest of the hall but then we DID put in an advanced order. We were nice. We gave the next door table a plate. (take note, they had 12 people..) Then came desert time. Ok I sighed in resignation desert wasnt going to be all too flash as well.
I was not disappointed. Literally.
Once again, they decided to make ONE ALMOND JELLY at a time. In 45 mins I only saw at the very most 10 servings of almond jelly walk out the kitchen door.
I shall let you do the maths.
Niao like sai. My family had to share 2 puny bowls of almond jelly between us 6. It was so little I could have just drank it in LORH. If you think Im being a typical greedy cheena, seriously, Im talking very small and diluted with, (well in my bowl) 5 pea-sized pieces of peach, 1/2 of a grape and 1/8th of a cherry. Amount of almond jelly? Just enough to sit in your palm without overflowing. Too bad if you palm is big.
No words can emphasize their generosity. NO words at all.
Seriously its like their tactic to restrict how much you eat by bringing out very little food. I actually think IT IS!!
So before we left, (after we finally, after much effort) managed to fill up substantially, I felt that I couldnt not leave without leaving behind a comment. We had a piece of that dim sum recording paper which we didnt use so I took out my marker pen from my bag and scribbled...

See you later! ^^
