   The services in new branch suntec is really lousy. Services oriented country like Singapore with such service level, really pull down overall ratings. Food view still maintain min expectation.

   i have just been to the one at promenade. We ordered the chicken curry. When the food arrived, I am quite surprised with the portion. The amount of curry sauce given was less than 1 cm in depth corresponding to the bowl they used. We requested for more only to be told that it is a standard portion. Although I must stress that it was very kind of the manager to give another portion, however, I will not go back for the curry chicken again. They really need to do something with their portioning. We are not suckers even the curry chicken taste great!

   Darren, you are truely right.

   We ordered the curry noodle and the curry soup’s like darn expensive and only give less than a bowl depth.

   It’s really not worth to get a bad ratings when good food are provided to customers.

   OTW owner(s), please be alerted that we are living in year 2010 and service oriented island.

   Honestly, they do really have a great place to chill out with a cup of nice coffee. But curry sauce isn’t that expensive right? For the kind of price that we are charged, I dun think it hurts to give a half bowl filled with curry sauce.

   I agree with the above comments on coming here just for the coffee, not the food. On a follow-up visit, we ordered the chicken rendang, which at SGD7.90++, isn’t exactly cheap for the skimpy portion you get. When we asked for an extra spoonful of chili sauce, the staff (and their manager) told us it would cost SGD0.50 more.

   To add salt to the wound, there is that mandatory 10% service charge here even though we had to queue at the counter to make our payment when we patronised the Toa Payoh Hub outlet on two separate occasions.

   And oh, they don’t provide water too. After the subsequent disappointing experiences at Old Town, we have decided to never come back to this place.

   One time visit is good enough to turn me off from this place. The staff attitudes are really very bad. They are rude and have no customer service at all. Just last Sunday I was there with my family for breakfast. One of the staff there was literally banging things around while clearing table. And when I ask for a cup of hot water for my mother coz she was not feeling well, the waitress was not only not happy to oblige, she even gave us her dirty look. The manager just simply allow his staff to be rude to customer, like allow one his staff to bang and throw things around. This is bad and it really suck big time. I will not go there ever again and will not recomend to any one. PEOPLE DONT EVER GO THERE YOU WILL BE REALLYB PISSED, TRUST ME,
