the other night, we had dinner at Saloma Bistro entertaining a friend from Australia. to make story short i hated the food. it was awful! the chicken curry was tasteless, the prawns were rotten…it was mushy for God sake!
It think it was linked with Concorde hotel and that’s made me wonder why did the kitchen management let this things happen? coz Saloma Bistro is a Tourist attraction its where you can have supposedly Good dinner with some cultural entertainment. I honestly felt embarassed with the food and regretted bringing Sue to the joint. Its embarassing coz i’ve seen this sort of dine in concept in Bali, China, Europe and they did a good job entertaining and the FOOD is delicious (of course it is coz you’re supposed to impress the tourists)… like in China they even have a proper stage, ‘proper’ means with sufficient props and backdrops and i was entertained… but what Saloma had was just several dances with minimal explaination of the dance origin etc. this just shows that Saloma have very little knowledge of culture.
Even so i was glad that my 2 year old son had his fun. He even went up to the stage to dance the ‘Pocho pocho’ dance (this is not even Malaysian, its Indonesian’s)
That’s my son on the stage with his uncle doing the Pocho Pocho dance.
