I would say that it is relatively ok, except a bit too noisy. I had to strain my ears to hear whatever people were saying. The place was a bit small, and moving place was not much. I think it was how the people there had chose to arrange the furniture. Could be better.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the greetings. I just could not stand the greetings. They were like a totally turn-off.  The manager gave a cue, and all the staff had to say something like &quot;welcome to breeks&quot;. Hearing that not-that-clear greetings just made me feel unwelcomed actually. And they even had a &quot;good-bye service&quot; for selected customers, because I did not hear that for some, and I did not think for us too.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, I should say the more postive feedback first. <\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, the food. They were indeed edible, and they were quite fast at serving. I do not have much things to say about this. The portions were ok, enough for me to feel full after that. Food was also hot enough. <\/p>\n<p>The most important point, the service. The junior staff were ok and helpful, except for one strange table arrangement. The tables were rounded, and she suggested putting an extra table that was like a good 15 degrees to the rest of the tables. So strange. She reasoned that was to allow space for movement for the seats behind. There were certainly better ways to do things. <\/p>\n<p>More on the service. For most of the time, my glass of water contained no water. Yes, I had fun playing around with an empty plastic cup, pretending that it was a kaleidoscope, and thinking I was some idiot playing with imaginary dice. <\/p>\n<p>There&#039;s even a very interesting point. Ziwei requested for water refill. And then someone came over. She filled up Ziwei&#039;s, Zhixiang&#039;s, and then went off.<\/p>\n<p>Hello. ARE YOU BLIND TO NOT SEE AN EMPTY GLASS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR @#(*&amp;(^!@ EYES?!<\/p>\n<p>Ok, back to normal blogging.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#039;s really bad. I don&#039;t like the standard of service. I don&#039;t like to have an empty cup. That was not a place worth paying service charge for. We did not anyway. That popular card discount removed it, at least in terms of percentages.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, if you have a group outing, a birthday celebration, or some other events, I suggest that you go for alternative places. I don&#039;t think this place will be suitable. If you can&#039;t find any other place, do stay at home instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing from the previous post, I see a need to write this on a new entry.
