Don't you just hate having too much choice,and making the wrong one? Well that's what happened to me and Mrs Z in the 7th circle of hell (The Trafford Centre) yesterday.
I must point out that I was only there in the first place because Ange promised me lunch,and she only wanted to go because she had been given some vouchers for John Lewis and needed some make-up.
At lunch time we wandered around the Orient perusing the menus,and opted to try Rice because they had a good choice on offer.
I went for the Malaysian Chilli Chicken,and Ange for the Thai Chicken Krapao (Much school boy laughter from me). I ordered a bottle of Peroni whilst Ange asked for a glass of cucumber water,the waitress walked off and came back and told Ange that they were out of cucumber,so ange asked for half a pint of Tiger Beer,only to be told that they no loger have beer on tap,only bottles.
My food was nice,not spectacular,just nice,nice rice,nice chicken and a nice amount of spice. Ange on the other hand took a couple of mouthfuls before realising that the dish was supposed to contain chicken and mince,hers was only chicken. When she ordered it the waiter told her it was spicy,only it wasn't spicy at all. She decided to not bother with the mince but asked a waitress if she could have some chilli sauce,she went off to get some and we didn't see her again!
Although we both kind of enjoyed the food,at £30 for the two of us it was a bit steep for what we got,a main and a beer each. We left feeling like we should've gone elsewhere.Probaby Wokooshi accross the way...
On the way out we were given a loyalty card,but told it can't be used there,only at the Piccadilly Gardens branch,thanks for that.....
Not only that,but we had dragged our posteriors all the way over to the Trafford Centre only to find that John Lewis doesn't stock the make-up Ange wanted,just another reason why for food and for shopping you can't beat the City centre. read more
