hi phtthp

some of the crab buffets which i had been to, the promos were already over.
eg. --- Ellenbourough at Merchant Court Hotel at $62 per pax
--- Spices Cafe at Concorde Hotel at $48 per pax
Lobster (1 serving per pax) and unlimited order of crab dishes with 6 cooking style and drunken prawns
---Plaza Brasserie at Parkroyal On Beach Road at $48 per pax
they served chilli crabs, for this buffet i think it is still on-going,
pl call them up to check if u are keen on it.

****Mods note: if necessary, pl move this posting to whichever thread it's deemed fit.
i thot of linking it to the buffet thread, but it is entitled 1 for 1 buffet....dont seems appropriate too....****

I am already banning most of those charging service charge. :evil:


Just serving plates also need to charge service charge.

can't help it as all hotels' cafes charge service charge,
most restaurants i know of, they also do have service charge....

[bigsnoopy]

Can we tell them to drop the service charges if we find the services not up to standard?

[quote=\"bigsnoopy\"]Some restaurants charge 60 cents for water so i rather order a chinese tea which is $1...

i ever encounter a chinese restaurant where they charged for chinese tea per pax at $1
even though i told them i do not drink chinese tea ......
in the end, was charged for $1 for juz plain water. :roll:

Not only that, some Chinese restaurant even charge the kids at $1 per pax even when the kids din even touch the tea that was poured out as they brought their own water bottle... I argue with the captain n ask her to drop the tea charges for the kids...[/quote]oh......that shd really brought it out ....
it reminds me of chinese restaurants charge for wet towels
even when u tell them that u dont wanna it. :roll:

service charge is rather ridiculous in singapore especially when many places don’t provide much of any good service at all…hmm maybe i’d be more willing to pay if they do give better service!

We sometimes tell them to remove the tidbits upon seated and returned unused/unopened wet towels and the restaurants automatically deducted these charges from bill.

even tze char stalls in HDB coffee shops charge customers for pickles, wet towels :roll: and these are just ordinary tze char stalls, not those

features in TV food shows :mad:

My hubby say if he ask for plain water at kopitiam and they charge him $0.20 or $0.30. He will order 100 cups, make them run out of cups!

insider:

for me it depends on the services provided.

I am not willing / extremely reluctant to pay $0.30 for water in Crystal Jade (great world) coz of dirty cups and less than satisfactory services (plates like threw in front of you, tea spilled when pouring in an 'anyhow' manner). However, I am more than willing to pay $2/pax for tea in Imperial Treasure (also great world branch) and on top of that, I will still tip. I am willing coz of the cleanliness of the culteries provided and the promptness of the change of those culteries with alert and courteous services. i ditched crystal jade for more than a year oredi and never look back...
