Is it their fault? or is it mine?
Whenever you walk to a restaurant / kopitiam / coffeeshop, you have a certain expectation from it. If you're on the move, of course you'll probably take in whatever shit (eg. crap food, crap service and etc.) they throw at you.
But, if you're not, then this is what I'm going to talk about. When you enter a restaurant / kopitiam / coffeeshop, you expect it to be different than what you experienced at home. Be it food, service (what kind of service at home?.. haha), environment and etc.
For myself, I think the most important thing of a restaurant, or any eateries, is the FOOD. If the FOOD is good, then service SHOULD be good as well. If the FOOD is just nice , then at least the service should be better.Usually, most eateries does have wide variety of food to order from. Some of these items might be listed as their specialty as well. So, maybe you've wanted to be the adventurous and decided to ordered something else different from the others. Let's say you ordered something that is not specialty and the food sucks. So, whose fault is that anyway? Is it theirs or yours?
It's their fault because the item was on the menu. If the item was listed, it is their duty to produce something that is delicious. If it sucks, why bother putting on the menu?
It's your fault instead because you wanted to be different. You wanted to see what else they are capable of.You thought since their specialty is good, probably other items listed in their menu should be just as good as well.But, no. It wasn't and you paid for the price for not trying out their specialty.
So, when someone introduced you to an eatery, do you order what you like (not necessary their specialty)? or what is their specialty?
Interesting topic to discuss about.

欢喜地 (The Mines)
The food is good. I liked the Udon noodles, there are a wide variety to choose from. I hope the next time I go, I'll try something different again.
Stir-fried udon noodle with prawn (黑椒虾仁乌冬面）(at that time, July 2009, costs RM 8.30). Tastes good. Recommended, full of black pepper spiciness.
Smoked ham and cheese focaccia ( 芝士熏烤焗香饼）(at that time, July 2009, costs RM 5.50)
Egg in boiling milk (鲜奶滚蛋) (at that time, July 2009, costs RM 3.00). Only had a slight taste of the yolk, heavier on the milk side. more like drinking milk, but very interesting drink.
This is what "Egg in boiling milk" supposed to look like.
Corn, sago and herbal jelly dessert (双米奶油龟苓高羹), too sweet for my taste.
Hmmm.. I don't see the sago seeds from the dessert, as seen from the menu. haha.
