I have tried their Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti with Goo Leng Ping drink (MYR14.90++ 10% service charge and 6% GST = MYR17.40 back then. Now the price is MYR15.90++). I did not really know what Goo Leng Ping was when I ordered it. Turned out to be a rose syrup with milk drink. The pasta was a bit too al dente for my liking.
Another lunch set that I have ordered is their Panini Fish Burger and chips with a Lime juice drink without sugar (MYR13.90++ 10% service charge and 6% GST = MYR16.20 back then. Now the price is MYR14.90++). The deep fried fish fillet is like those that one buys frozen in a box from supermarket to deep fry at home, just passable.
I did not take any photos for the meals above but I did take some photos when I ordered the baked soy sauce chicken rice set with a Lime juice drink without sugar (MYR12.60++ 10% service charge and 6% GST = MYR14.70 back then. Now the price is MYR13.60++). As chicken is my last choice, I was going to order something else but I changed my mind at the last minute when I placed the order so chicken it was. The whole chicken leg was very flavourful and filling.
All these were before the beef lasagna order. Now I will not eat at this place ever again.
Chicken rice set with drink - MYR13.6++ = MYR15.85 nett (price now)
Lots of rice and a big chicken leg - very filling so I did not finish eating the rice. I forgot to ask them to give me half of the normal portion of rice.
Tappers at The Sphere
So this is the same place that you ordered the Lasagna from. But the chicken leg rice looks good.
ReplyDeleteYes it is the same place. The chicken leg rice is not bad.
DeleteExpensive but expected at classy places such as this - most importantly, it must taste really great, the service is good, nice and comfortable ambiance...otherwise, we'd be better off settling for something similar at half the price at a coffee shop of hawker centre. The lasagna was probably the last straw that broke the camel's back.
ReplyDeleteAny place that charges the 10% service charge, I would just go elsewhere...or never go back there again. That, I believe, is the customer's prerogative - to give or not to give...and they must reflect that they deserve it in what and how they serve. The key words - serve and DEserve...
Unfortunately, over here, if we choose not to patronise those places that charge the 10% service charge, we won't have many places to go! :D
DeleteYes charging 10% service charge is very common in kl.
DeleteNo coffee shop around this place. Only a food court that serves not tasty food with not so cheap price.
DeleteThanks for enlightening me on what goo leng ping is, I didn't know too. I heard this drink name a lot, but never found out what it was.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for revealing the restaurant name. So this place is a classy looking restaurant that serves frozen food. Not going to go there. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day scolding the sh*t out of them.
The decor like fullhouse is considered classy? You are welcome about the gu leng peng. I was told by my friend that gu leng basically means milk.
DeleteAt least this chicken rice set looks decent.....and fresh (not frozen) :D
ReplyDeleteAiyo if chicken also cannot prepare good meal means can go and close shop d.
DeleteOne bad lasagna and they lost a regular customer :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many customers ordered lasagna and got served food like that. If many then they may lose more than one customer.
Deleteactually the chicken rice set looks fine to me, quite a big portion with a big whole chicken leg, and drinks too!! but too bad, they have this lousy watery, cheese floating in lumps lasagne that make them lose one once-loyal customer..
ReplyDeleteI think it is not the lasagna is lousy but they did the wrong thing when heating up the frozen lasagna to cause it to be watery.
DeleteWe usually lunch at this place like few times a month, coz it's near to our office and also other colleagues wanted it.. We just follow their car, so no choice lor, they go where, we eat what lor.. I usually order the chicken parmigiana or chicken schnitzel, with lime juice.. Never dare to try anything else, haha..
ReplyDeleteThat day my co worker ate the chicken parmigiana and said the cheese tastes weird.
DeleteNo second chance for them? :) I used to like the Tappers in Capital Square.
ReplyDeleteYou want to go try their lasagna to see if it has improved? :)
DeleteNah not after your review. :p But I don't go there any more also, coz don't work already.
DeleteYou mean you don't work near there anymore. :)
DeleteThis restaurant has been around for sometime since their first branch and I think they have grown to almost 10 outlets now. Good food with reasonable price. I had never tasted a good Gu Leng Ping in KL yet. Must try this one!
ReplyDeletePlease go try their new item lasagna and let us know how does the lasagna taste now, ok?
