lost my temper on a holiday @ manhattan fish market...

Well, first of all, i would like to greet all my Malay frens and their family "Selamat Hari Raya" as it's their new year. :)

Well, having a two days holiday makes ppl move around, especially on this festive season, and i decided to drop by ikea @ ikano center to look for some decoration idea for my room, need some resuffling around to make space. So happily drove down without much of a hassle as the traffic was good and clear. That brought smile onto both me and sharon's face. Well, what a better way to enjoy a day off doing some small shopping stress free. When i was thinking further of enjoying my day, it all started when i was about to turn into ikea from the highway. OMG. the jam started from there before even the traffic lights. i endure and moved in inch by inch and finally found a parking @ the curve being partly empty. Which doesn't really explain why the jam, oh well, not gonna give much thought to that. Maybe during the off days, ppl won't bring their brains out.

Walking around and seeing stuff wasn't that bad until we decided to grab some food. All the food outlets are pack with ppl in ikano, and due to that we'll be going into ikea, so we decided to have a quick lunch and move forwards. Paving around to decide where to land, we end up in Manhattan Fish Market. We were greeted when we stepped in and we shown to a table. Due to the festive season, i notice that only 8 person, including those in the kitchen are working to manage the whole place. Well, good management and coordination might just pull it off. After deciding what to order, it took me a while to practically grab a waiter to take my orders. Present at that time was around 10 table of customer, a few family groups. After the waiter taking my order, without writing them down, she just speed of telling another waiter about my order and then disappear into the kitchen, well, i could see her helping out throught the transparent kitchen concept that they constructed. Not too long after us, a goup of 6 ppl came and sat not far from us, and they were served promptly, which eventually their drinks went to them and not reach my table while i was observing. At that very moment, i told sharon that if their food comes first and not even my drinks, that's it, i'm walking away. i waited for another 5 mins, then and there i noticed that there are a few table that are missing their portion of the order, and the waiter as running up and down to calm other patrons down, i gave a look at sharon and both of us just stood up and walked away, i'm pretty furious inside and thinking, darn, i know it's bad for you guys to work on a your new year's day, but if your so down in man-power. for the sake of it, close the shop down rather than risking your reputation. And i guess this is the first time that i've done this. I guess it won't be the last i think. From today onwards, i shall ban myself from patronising Manhattan Fish Market @ Ikano Power Center until further notice. i end up lining up for hot dog @ ikea. sigh. then again, i ended up back in klang for pan mee later on. nice....

i'm not being racist or anything, just usual ranting about bad service that's all. happy holidays!
