Worst dinner ever

On Saturday night, Pete, Edlyn and I went out to dinner in the city. This was probably partly my fault that we ate bad food coz I chose the restaurant, which was out of the entertainment book. I was flipping through the book and came across 'Wolfie's Grill'. 

Now, WG is located at The Rocks..technically Circular Quay West. It's right next to the water where the Park Hyatt Hotel is. Great location really....with the view of the Opera House and everything.

However, that was all they could offer. Great view. Everything else was terrible!!!!

Firstly, our food took ages to come out. The place was fairly busy but the couple next to us who came later than us had their food served way before. It doesn't get better from here. Actually I should mention what we ordered. Pete and I argued about this but still decided to order the same dish. We ordered the Wolfie's specialty which was the mixed grill. According to the menu, it has lamb cullet, sausages, steak, kangaroo fillet and few others which I can't remember. So the mixed grill came with a massive skewer with the poultry hanging from it on a plate of roast potatoes. The meat all looked massively overcooked...like charcoal black!

I took one or two bites of each piece and put them aside. Seriously, it was so disappointing. I wasn't expecting much....perhaps a decently cooked meal to satisfy my tummy? NOT tough, bland and dry meat that made my teeth and jaw worked so hard that night.

Not only the food was bad, the service was atrocious!!! They didn't give our change back. It was only 2 bucks or something and we would have not taken it anyway. But aren't you legally meant to give me my money back even if it was only 10c??? I also wanted to ask for the receipt and the reply I got was a short 'I don't have the receipt'. No sorry, no I will get one for you, NO NOTHING. 

SERIOUSLY.

If you think you can bank on the 'great view' to keep your customers, think again! COZ THAT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT GOING FOR YOURSELF! 

I've never felt so strongly about any service before. But when I do, I realise maybe I am willing to go lengths to put this place out of business!!!

Grrrr...still fuming about it!!!!

This is the time of the year...

When the most expensive bills have come to 'rob' me.

When I have to place my latest 'shopping list' to the very bottom of my priorities.

When my heart aches as I watch huge chunks of my paycheck come and go.

Urghh...why is everything so bloody expensive?!?!?!

In the span of 3 weeks, I've had:

- my phone flushed down the toilet

- my camera died on me.....forever

- my car broken down and had to be towed to the mechanics

- no water supply in the house...now Day 2 and counting.....

I wonder what's next.......

Randoms....

Everyone knows what happened to my phone. How silly and stupid I was...yes and yes....I got a new phone by the way.....so my line is up and running!

I was just looking through folders and folders of pictures and I thought I'd just put some up to show some snippets of what I've been up to in the last........hmm....3 months?

Going from the most recent ones......

Emily, Sharon and moi on Em's birthday. We had a grand plan to dance the night away at Ivy Bar, but Emily and Ian couldn't get in!!!! What a shame....it's a bit slack if we leave the birthday girl outside...so we adjourned to Argyle instead...!!! ( Ivy Bar is sooo beautiful by the way....love the place)

Me, with the newlyweds, Malu and Mukund. It was my first full blown Indian wedding...and boy, was it full of colour!!! The function hall was decorated with beautiful Indian silk cloth and the music was of course...Bollywood kinda style....and tasty Indian cuisine! Malu looked soo gorgeous in her Sari and we had so much fun that night!! Congrats Malu and Mukund....you guys look soo cute together!!!

Charlene came to Syd as a faithful WYD pilgrim and spent about 2 weeks here. It was really good catching up with her....as if she'd never left Sydney! She even knew some of the streets better than I do!! This was us having dinner with Peter at Kingsley's Steakhouse. Yummyyy steak!!

Getting into some of the WYD action as well...Yvonne had VIP tickets for the Pope's final mass....Let's just say it was the longest mass I've ever been to!

This was Anne-Marie's house warming party. The theme was winter and I was going as a polar bear. Except that the only polar bear visible was the hair tie on my head and some furry stuff on the hood of my jacket! The really white thing you see in the pic?? It's Shamala as a snow angel...hahhahhaa....
