(Just Like) Trikaya

So after a fairly promising first visit a few weeks back, we finally got the chance today to go to Trikaya again - and while the rest of the food we ordered was decent, we were shocked to be served the artificial, made-from-fish "Just Like Crab" nuggets in our crab meat soup! Completely unacceptable in a restaurant this posh, the recovery was worse than the mistake. No apology. Instead, the chief waiter tried to explain that JLC was actually crab. When I showed him the ingredients, he sheepishly took it away, then got "real crab meat soup", this time in a very different preparation than the first dish!

And at 200 for a bowl of steam rice, and 100 for a plate of masala papad, it almost seems as if Trikaya is out to fleece its unsuspecting customers on the weekends, since it doesn't seem to have much of a clientele on weekdays anyway.

Very sad, really - because with the lovely decor and ambience, Trikaya could have rocked the city.

Just like Indifference, I'd say!

Really bad customer service is when they just do not care if you come back or not. Can't get worst than that.
