Date with Jamie's

Thank god it was Friday. Benedict invited me join him and his girlfriend at Jamie's Italian for dinner on Friday.

'Hmm, I wouldn't mind. I get to know Ben's girlfriend too', I thought. But the food was expensive, as shown on the menu. I was preparing to order the lowest priced item, if possible.


Look at the price! Daylight robbery man!


SURPRISE! It was on the house. WAH HENG! PHEW!

That ass made a fool outta me, haha, told me I needa prepare at least 50 SGD, and my eyes were already twitching about spending so much. But hey, I was really glad man, and thankful of course. (I am just honored that Ben invited me to join them for 'once in a life time' chance. Thanks bro!)

Free food, happy cheapo. Of course. Zaylinn the Ultimate Cheapo never learns.

So we ordered, well, quite a spread of food. Haha, typical Singaporeans as we would always be.

 We ordered well, a lot of food. Can't remember what we order, haha. 

And not forgetting the liquor (cocktails) and wines too.

My first time drinking so much after a while. And my virgin cocktail experience. Hey, it's not bad. Haha, white wine was smooth.



A group photo: Denyse, myself, Ben and and Cherry (Left to right). Me and Denyse looked like the Jamie's Italian staff. 

Well, what do yea know. I met my former manager from Ambush here. Singapore is just too small. Wendy, my former manager at Ambush is working as a manager at this restaurant too. She looks much happier too. Well, the staff here are nice too. Almost everyone is friendly and attentive, except some. The girl who served our table is really nice and friendly, Ren Chi the name, if I am not wrong.

As we wanted to order dessert (we were willing to pay for the dessert), there's where things turned sour, a bit. The Caucasian supervisor (or trainer) came and told us that, well, you know, we can't order a lot because any 'normal customers' would not order that much. 

That's not the right attitude my lady. Screw you and your stupid stereotypes. Since your restaurant invite us and treat us, you should have been expecting this kind of order, am I right? 

What kind of attitude did you gave us? While I appreciate the friendliness, attentiveness and efficient service of the staff, I could not accept this kind of answer. 

To cut the story short, it was quite an unpleasant experience near the end. I shall not go into detail on how bad the experience was. 

Nevertheless, I really did had a great time there of course. The food was good (can be improve though), the service of the staff is good (except for some screwed up attitude by the higher people) and perhaps they can lower the pricing. 

Overall, it was great dining at Jamie's Italian, thanks to my bro. 

Well, the bill was more than I expected. Just wow!

Signing off.
