We had a company subsidised lunch at Lafite at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur. It was supposed to be fine dining and high class since it has won numerous awards and have excellent reviews about their food. Well, it was my first time there (since people like me can't afford these places often) and I got to say, IT WAS SO DISAPPOINTING! The food wasn't that great...the ambiance was just like any ordinary hotel terrace cafe (in fact...I've seen better ones...don't let the picture on link fool you!). And to top it off, their staff weren't really well trained due to a certain incident that happend. Ok, it's too long for me to bitch about it since my colleague already blogged about it, I shall leave it for you to read here.
Would I go back there again? Are you nuts?!! After all that...I don't think it's worth the money. It's not that I can't afford it....but seriously...RM25++ for a glass of fruit juice that is not even freshly squeezed? I think NOT!

*hi-5* kasi hentam lafail 99!
Sonia: Seeee...you heard it too right?!!! I think it's just poor staff training and communication. They should really retrain their staff
Oli: *hi-5* back!
hmm, a bit of hit-and-miss when it comes to Lafite- they use to be good, though standard is dropping.
I think a few chefs from lafite went over to Carcosa Sri Negara (i went a year ago) and the food there is excellent. A bit of a stiff upper lip place but staff are well-trained and nice!
Try that next Nick- good place to impress a girl! :) make sure ur wallet is fat first!
Tina: Actually, I've been to Carcosa Sri Negara before for their high tea before..it's ok only as well..haven't tried dinner/lunch though...maybe I just have too high standards :P
They used to be really good! In 2006 and 2007... What happened?? I never went back there after they took "Profiteroles" off their menu!!! I suppose the great chef must have left! I also have several friends who have been there the past couple of months who said it wasn't great!
