Went to this place with a couple of friends as we thought we will get decent Malaysian food. The menu is more towards Indian cuisine but I taught "hey, there's nothing wrong with that". The waitress came to take order even before we get to look at the menu. We asked for a couple of minutes but the other waitress approach us right after the other left asking the same question. We did not want to be rude so we placed our order in hurry. I ordered their chicken laksa described as delicious chicken cooked in curry with noodle and fresh vegetable with boiled egg but when the food turn up in small bowl, the content was so thick that I couldn't even swallow it without feeling like I'm eating a lump of fat. There was only a small amount of noodle (more like a quarter of those noodle you get in a packet of instant noodle). The vegetable consist of 1 piece of broccoli and 2 half green bean tasted like they just been thawed in microwave. Went to pay after feeling sick at the end of the meal. Had to go to the counter twice as none of them seems interested to even swipe the eftpos card. I was charged NZD14.99 and I was thinking wait a minute, the menu said it is NZD13.99. I told the waitress that she mistakenly charged me extra dollar but she suddenly became annoyed at me and said the till charged that price and that is what I HAVE to pay. She said they change the price a month ago on the till but not on the menu. So I have to pay NZD14.99. I asked to talk to the manager but she said he was out and I have to wait for 10 minutes for him to come back if I want the NZD1. At the end, they called the manager and was told to give me back the extra NZD1 that they charged me. She still insist that I should have paid NZD14.99 when she handed me the dollar. BAD FOOD, RUDE WAITRESSES and HORRENDOUS SERVICE!
