Lunch @ Bao Today

包今天 - Ya, Bao Today only because there's definitely no future or next visit.

Below average food & service.

We were seated for barely 10 mins and no less than 5 staff came to ask us for our orders. They were definitely in a hurry to take our orders, to the extent of snatching the order sheet away before we can look at it & make our choice.

Self-service: Anything you can't find on the table, you will have to help yourself. With the exception of a plate, spoon & chopsticks, we had to walk a few times to get our own bowls & chilli sauce. Beside enjoying the company of my lunch companion, I'm entertained by customers walking around doing their balancing acts getting this & that.

You might have the impression that the restaurant is trying to achieve higher customers turnover by hurrying us with our orders but you can't be more wrong. It took forever for them to serve us the drinks & even longer to serve our food. So we have no choice but to order the dim sum that the staff will bring around to fill our growing hunger.

I won't bother to introduce any of the food here because I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to come here for dim sum or lunch. Maybe as a cantonese I knew how my dim sum should be like and these stuff are only considered barely edible but definitely not delectable and reached our table barely lukewarm.

Look at the messy roe scattered on the Siew Mai. And yes, one of the Siew Mai came to us laying on its side, it must have came in a great hurry.

The menu had a option for the beef noodle to be "Dry/Soup" and when I want it dry the staff told me that they don't serve "Dry/Soup" because their beef noodle is "不汤不干" in her exact words. Don't know whether to laugh or vomit blood.

So here's my "不汤不干" 牛腩面.
