Wow, the last time I was here was two months ago. Time has passed by quickly since then. Have started a new job which is soo much better than the old one. Urgh, I'm trying to forget that horrid time period of eight months.
Went to eat banana leaf at Sri Nirvana in Bangsar. I went there two times before and serious was always fast and courteous and the food was delicious. However, when I visited during Chinese New Year, my expectations went straight to hell.
I sat there for a good five minutes waiting for someone to serve me but the lousy waiters nearby pretended not to notice. So I flagged one down and and he cleaned my table but said something in Tamil to his coworker. One Indian lady customer nearby overheard and smiled at his comment and I so wished that I had asked her what the hell was so funny. The idiot waiter was also surly and acted like he rather be out on his ass than helping out in the restaurant. When he saw an interracial couple (maybe they were regulars) he gave them such a fake smile and proceeded to lick their asses. God, I hate people like that who kiss the ass of expats and so but mistreat the locals or single diners.
The one lady boss there kept shouting at a young server in front of her customers. Like woman, do you have no shame? Maybe I should feel some pity for the workers but she was taking it out on the wrong person. She should be shouting at the lazy ass-hat who served me!
And the food! My god, it tasted like a comatose baby whipping up playdough with mud! How the fuck can you not know how to cook rice? Soggy as hell rice, marsala chicken tasted like cow dung and the fried vegetables were stale and not crunchy. I didn't finish anything and left my banana leaf with most of the food intact. Is it a waste? Yes it is but if it tastes like shit, I ain't stuffing it down my throat.
As I paid the bill, I complained to the manager of the server's attitude and told him I am never going back there ever again. Stupid restaurant.
For those who are thinking of frequenting that shitty restaurant, beware of that dark Indian guy who is quite tall, with a medium build and moustache and wearing a visor. Apparently, I complained to my coworkers about Sri Nirvana and they said the service there is known to be crappy.
