Firstly the food took more than 30 mins before the 1st dish is served. Next, the same dish we ordered was served to a different table who came later than us... The order was so wrong. The food was average and I would have expected a pricier restaurant would have been more careful with customer experience and they totally failed!! It was a lousy meal for our family!!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676548334968064963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-3099365354087471772011-11-23T11:06:17.625+11:002011-11-23T11:06:17.625+11:00Hi MissPiggy, she's lucky she didn't have ...Hi MissPiggy, she's lucky she didn't have to wait long, the heat that weekend just made it seem longer too.

I've seen them too, but I think my was online and they were in China, so perhaps China?<br /><br />Hi Hotly Spiced, I'm glad it's not just me then that has an issue with patience :) The eateries are definitely soaring over that side.Dumpling Girlhttp://www.dumplinggirlandcheesecakeboy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-1037015236041280822011-11-21T20:52:37.974+11:002011-11-21T20:52:37.974+11:00I also struggle with patience.

Loved the panda buns.<br /><br />Hey GA, looks like we're all getting sucked in my the adorable panda buns, lol.<br /><br />Hello Joey, hehee your love of Chefs Gallery has no bounds, but your right. However, I do prefer the sesame piggy buns from CG. Hopefully you make it there one day :)<br /><br />Hey rockahenry, definitely lost in translation, but we tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />Hi excusemewaiter, I was initially surprised that it was a Taste of Shanghai restaurant too.<br /><br />Hello JasmyneTea, if we're talking about the food, then I may just slightly prefer the food here then the one at Lemon Grove, but the one at Lemon Grove is much better value for money. However, I guess in this post I was comparing it to their Eastwood establishment, and find this place very average to Eastwood in both value for money and taste. However, the food at both places are not the same and targeting two very different markets.<br /><br />Hi minibites, both buns are cute in their own way, I prefer the bun at CG though. I am with you on pan fried, they're so much more satisfying.Dumpling Girlhttp://www.dumplinggirlandcheesecakeboy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-24716139898531254802011-11-20T21:56:52.783+11:002011-11-20T21:56:52.783+11:00wow that's interesting, those panda buns are v...wow that's interesting, those panda buns are very similar to the piggy buns of chef's gallery. <br /><br />I love pan fried dumplings and buns, I know it defeats the purpose of steaming being the healthier option but i just love the crunch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256175729305789814.post-40856900438463236812011-11-20T21:44:01.010+11:002011-11-20T21:44:01.010+11:00Bit average then?
