It’s the last sunday of Seattle Resturant week. BH and I made reservations to Wild Ginger to enjoy the lunch promo of 3 for $15. We had our lesson learnt at Palisades so this time I called to confirm if the special menu is on before mking a trip down. I called and confirmed 2X with the lady at the front desk …. [Story? Read on!]
Bright and sunny, we made it to Wild Ginger at The Bravern
It’s our first time there since it opened last yr? wah.. lots of high end boutiques like LV, Balenciaga , Marc Jacobs and of course CHANEL! I felt so small there as I was only carrying a low end Coach clutch – that’s y i need Sabrina 🙁 no… i’m not materialistic.. it’s just how pple look at you.. esp the asians there.. SERIOUS! In Bellevue, you need to dress up! The asians look at asians from head to toe ( and i always feel self-concious and I got to ask BH – do i look weird??) so.. these asians carry all the branded bags, wear branded clothes… i feel so ‘low class’ haha..
Simple us on a causal sunday
we were very tired… BH worked late and I worked for the past few nights. He did his work, I did mine.. if u think i look energetic/good? it’s because of Lancome Genefique, it works!! haha.. if not.. then it’s not working.. heh
[STORY]
At Wild Ginger, (maybe you would have expected that … )the special 3 for $15 menu is unavailable for sunday lunch. I was so disapted and upset. So, BH ( 1st time.. so ‘man’) told the server ” We want to leave, we will come back again” The server panicked and talk to manager. Manager, Tom came and I explained to him that I am very upset as I called and confirmed at least 2X that the menu is in place. In the end, manager told us that he will get the kitchen to do the menu for us… well.. I felt like a valued guest, no..I just want my rights as a customer..
Our food
I ordered – starter: fried seasoned shitake, entree: otak with beans and brow rice, desserts: truffles
BH ordered – starter: Spring roll, entree, beef rendng with beans and white rice, desserts: truffles ( same as me)
To me food taste ok? Otak is not those we eat in SG (it was just salmon wrapped with banana leaves – quite fragant!) BH thought his food was superb. The service at the resturant was very good despite what happened. Tom, the manager was very professional and came over to apologise to us for the miscommunication and made sure everything was to ou satisfaction at least 2X. I felt uncomfy ( or rather paiseh) and can’t wait to finish up and go.
Bill came – gave them a bigger tip for the arrangements they made.
It was a good lunch at a high class place for an affordable price 🙂
