Went for dinner at Min Jiang restaurant in Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore, on Chinese New Year day. For a restaurant described as Sichuan the menu barely resembled the Sichuan style of food, more like a Cantonese style; a style that commands a higher price tag because of the types of food it serves.
The food was only just acceptable but one dish, the diced chicken with dry chillis was very poor, bland and downright pathetic. I asked for them to take it back after trying a small piece. I then found that I was charged for the dish (over $20 for a small plate) when I received the bill at the end.
When we sat down at the table the were 5 thin slices of pickles (a very common and cheap snack) that I found had been charged to the bill at $8. An old trick that 'cheaters', but something that I would not have expected from such a high end establishment.
A clear sign of disrespect, ignorance and cheating I had a thoroughly disappointing start to my new year.
FYI, I paid $170 for 2 bowls of soup, 2 pieces of 5cm pork, 2 beers, 1 plate of green vegtables with minced meat and small serving of Peking duck.
I strongly discourage anyone else from enduring a highly disappointing dinner at Min Jiang.
