I know, I know... this update is so late n stale!!! Hehehe.... dah more than a week, now baru nak cerita kan. I've been so busy after got back from Riyadh. With laundry yg tak habis2, adik yg semakin manja menjadi2 nowadays (aiyoo~), cooking n cooking for peruts yg tak reti2 kenyang.... (can see my pail of job eh?) Tapi basi2 pun nak tulis jugak, at least as my experience collection :)
Ok, back to the story.
As usual, bila ke mana2, our first thing first yg nak cari mestilah "ada tak restoran malaysia kat sini?" Even though mmg banyak restoran Asian (a.k.a chinese food) bersepah2 kt sini, tapi still, kalau ada Malaysian punya mesti lah lagi best kan.
So mmg biasa dengar/baca kalau kt Riyadh mmg ada Malaysian restaurant namanya Mutiara Restaurant (MR). And selalu baca komen orang cakap food kat sini semuanya hebat2 dan best2 belaka. Ada kawan2 yg cerita food dia is so much much better than MK (Malaysian Kitchen kt Khobar).
So berkobar2 lah bersemangat waja kami nak pergi makan kt situ. Masa first day sampai, MR was the very first place yg kami tuju. But a bit unlucky that day, ada orang booking pulak the whole place for a party.
Oklah, the next day kami terpacak again kt depan pintunya. Belum pun kedai tu bukak lagi (sbb semalam waiter tu ckp bukak pukul 12.45 so kami mmg smpai betul2 on time, tp rupa2nya dia bukak pukul 1 pulak...).
Ok, now the drama start.....
Mula2 tengok menu. Macam2 ada. Berselera gila meleleh2 air liur mcm nak order semua dalam menu tu.
Pastu Amet nk order Mee Bnadung - waiter tu cakap "Not available."
Pastu I nak order Nasi Lemak - waiter tu cakap "Not Available"
Nak order ABC - "Not available"
Last2 waiter tu tunjuk kt menu tu.... "Only available from here to here", which is ada la kot dalam 5-6 menu sahaja. Gile tak best!!!
Oklah...takpe sabar lagi... so kami just order kueteow goreng + tomyam seafood + teh ais.
Kueteow sampai - pucat lesi takde kicap. pastu pulak pakai kueteow kering kedai siam punya (kau hingat haku tak kenal ke?)
Tomyam sampai - ok laa......... sedap la jugak, walaupun cuma byk kuah n cendawan tin.
Teh ais sampai - mak oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.................. nih yg paling haku geram tak hengat!!!! Cerooiiiiii...... dgn tasteless nya, dgn ais ciput tak sejuk langsung. Isk2....sadis dan kecewa yg teramat sangat! Dah la segelas SR5!!! Baik la minum Chai Latte kt Starbuck. Adoi...
Yang paling mengelirukan ialah - mula2 nampak pekerja yg dok susun kerusi meja tu all Filipinos. Pastu the one yg datang ambik oredr tu is Indian. Then nampak pulak sorang lagi keluar dari dapur pakai baju Pakistan tu sah2 lah dia Pakistan. Pastu sorang lagi keluar angkat sampah (okay.... bawak smpah lalu pintu depan I tgh makan ye..........) ialah Bangla.
Ehem ehem.... encik boss MR, boleh ambik org Malaysia tak keja sini? No wonder la makanan lagsung takde taste Malaysian.......... Very very the disappointed laa.....
Konon je motto "Malaysian n Oriental cuisine"..... Nampak tak muka kecewa kami? Nampak tak? Kecewa tak? Hehehe.... (adik dah tersalah buat emoticon la adik....dia buat muka happy plak...)p/s : or maybe sbb masa tu public holiday so takde org keje, so dia masak tak sedap??? hmmm...
