Had been dining at PRIME from years ago. I honestly didn't want to write this review, but what just happened a minute ago. I just had to.
Service at prime, as usual, top Notch undoubtedly. Ordered a 36days dried age Australian darling wagyu 300gm MS6-7, medium rare, a rack of lamb medium , lobster bisque and a mojito.
First the mojito was like diluted apple juice, requested to add some lime juice and syrup, dont know why came back worse the kind waitress offered to try and do it, and yes, it did came out better.
The soup was just ok. Nothing to cry about.
While waiting for our mains, I observed two young chefs at the kitchen, one was always pushing his glasses with his fingers while the other would be running his nose at least 5 times in 10 minutes.
30 minutes later came our main course. The first bite on the sirloin , tendons! Doneness, medium rare was more like rare and totally tasteless for a supposedly full of nutty flavored dry aged steak. The same went to the lamb cutlets. Not a bit tasteful from the grill and the minced lamb meat skewer tasted more like tasteless meat kebab! I had enough, gave up and asked for the bill. Fantastic waitress ft bad and waived the food bill (was still about rm250) for just the bread and plain water which we had, the rest was like untouched.
Today was to celebrate a very special friend's birthday. Walked out and decided to give a try on the buffet (Ramadhan buffet). Selection was kinda boring and untidy(it was 830). Then the reason of this post. One senior Indian chef jokingly asked how's the food, and I honestly replied, standard has dropped and food quality wasn't too pleasant. What he said next really made me decided enough is enough. He said since it's bad, don't bother coming back in the future! Yes, absolutely right, Mr .RAMU.i won't. And for the management info, if you can't refill most of the items, including glasses to your leftover cordials, don't accept customers. Yes, I still maintain my comment. Food is horrendous today.
