Mother's Day Lunch at Old Cathay!

Ahh.... 2 kick-ass nurses the haus!!!!!The Old Cathay has never been safer.....

I like the light fixture

The men.. only the good Lord knows what they were talking about....

I was quite disappointed with the absence of the Hainanese Chicken rice chilli sauce.... I had to ask for it separately. And the black sauce was a little bitter.

After an hour, after the rest of us have finished our lunch, Caitlyn's Wan tan noodles finally arrived....

 

Lunch was a big disappointment, although the company was wonderful! It's always great to get together with Sista Barbara!

First, they got Bryan's order wrong... We wanted "a plate of sweet and sour pork - no rice" and I stressed the "NO" rice bit and double checked with the waiter... and what did they serve? Sweet and sour pork WITH rice. We sent it back, of course. The wait for the right dish? 40 minutes.

 

Next was Caitlyn's wan tan noodle soup. First, the dry noodles arrived. We sent it off before it was served. Then 2 plates of chicken rice arrived and we sent it off before they even touched our table. CHICKEN RICE!!!! Sigh.....After their "1-2" minutes, aka AN HOUR, she gets her noodles.

 

Lastly, the bill... I was charged for 2 Wan tan noodle dishes instead of 1. The interior was very cramped. The table next to ours went table hopping because of that. The décor may have a beautiful nostalgic chic to it but the bad service spoilt it all.

 

Nope, not going back again..... ever.
