Fortunate Restaurant (Xin Fu Yum Cha) 幸福饮茶 (Orchard)

Mrs Cheong and i saw this TV program on Mediacorp TV Channel 8 (我们逛街去! Let’s Go Shopping!) during the week that intro to us this Dim Sum Place. So, with that we decided to try out the place this afternoon.

The food is so-so although i must commend that all food served are piping hot, less the Fried Durian Puff.

The top 3 food to distinguish a quality of a Dim Sum Restaurant, 1. Siew Mai, 2. Har Kau, 3. Char Siew Bao, to be honest, this restaurant is way off target. You need to work harder man.

The 2 things that really PISSES me off is (and i have evidence to show)

 

1. Charging $4.50 for 3 pot of tea.

We had 1 pot of tea, and subsequent 2 times of hot water re-fill. But, when we got the bill, we were charged 3 x tea @ $1.50 each. Come on, for the 1st pot, ok. but does hot water re-fill cost $1.50 each? Especially when the colour of tea goes lighter and lighter.

2. Charging us 3 towels when there are only 2 of us.

Look at the receipt. Cover : 2. Means only Mr and Mrs Cheong. Look at the receipt. Towel : 3.

What the hell!

Anyway, i didn't want to challenge them as we were rushing to catch the movie, Made of Honour.

Conclusion

This Place is a definite NO for re-visit and i urge/advice everyone not to even waste your money here. There are many other nice places to go for.

Friend,

Usually tea is charged by per person basis. In short, 3 tea means 3 person drinking tea and not 3 refill. But I have to acknowledge that the restaurant is not profesional by charging towel for baby. Are they in some cash flow problem ??? Next time more direct, ask for compulsory Tips !!

Friend,

Only My wife and me ate there. Didn't bring Jaylen. so how can they even charge me 3? we total had 3 pots of tea so it may be coincidence cos towel also charged 3? Times are bad, maybe thats how they make extra $. After advertise for 30% off, need to recover some cost also.

I was going to say the same thing. They charge per head. However,since you said your baby was not there.... I would have told them off. No offence to you, from a foreigner's prespective, I found most retailers just like to cheat people for their money whenever they have a chance.
