Rama Thai Sharksfin Restaurant (Tanjong Pagar)

Last Sunday (27 July 2008), I was privileged to be invited to dine at Rama Thai. We ordered a sharksfin set for 6 (Set E - $368) plus 2 other dishes. Food was quite OK but not the service nor the dessert.

We were at our last dish - before dessert - and some of us were still eating when the staff came around to clear our table one by one - as soon as they see anyone 1 of us with our dining plate empty, they would immediately come over to clear that person's crockery and utensils (without even asking if he or she is done) even though there were still plates of unfinished food on the table. This was very annoying as that person may not be done with eating yet.

The time then was not even 9pm and there was only 1 other couple at another table. We thought it was near to closing time and asked what time they close. We were told that they close at 10pm. Then, what's the hurry?!?!? I was the last one to finish eating and guess what?! 1 waitress was already clearing my place as I was finishing my last bit, even holding my dining plate right under my nose, waiting for me to discard my prawn tail !!!

I was really shocked! I don't even get such atrocious service when I dine at coffee shops!

Lastly, the dessert ..... a pathetic plate of some slices of watermelon and honeydew which were not even sweet. For a set meal costing $368 for 6 persons (total bill was $500 plus), surely Rama Thai can afford to serve a much better dessert than a few slices of cut fruits costing only a dollar or two!
