It saddens me to have to post such a post for an all time family favorite take-out. Since I was a young child, we've always looked forward to the occasion of getting "Michaels Chinese food" from the original Michael's in Lorraine, Port Elizabeth. It was always the most delicious food, namely the Shanghai Steak, Prawn or Chicken fried rice, Egg Foo Yong, and chicken or vegetable chow mein, but our all time favorite was the Sweet and Sour pork. I am now in my 30's with my own children, and still feeling the same ol' cravings for our all time favorite, we decided to get Michael's yesterday... For the first time ever, I can say that it was very unpleasant and not at all enjoyable. The meal was a disgrace, knowing what standard Michael's once had.... The Shanghai steak tasted like it was a watery gravy with tough steak, the sweet and sour pork was basically just batter with very little portions of meat, the chow mein was terrible! The Chow mein noodles tasted like cheap two minute noodles with no spice or salt and raw cabbage, that's it!! I'm extremely disappointed in this as Michael's Chinese has ALWAYS been an all time favorite, something one craves for... After 20 + years of loyal support, I feel like I don't think I'll be going back for quite some time, if ever after that experience
I am super happy with Isabella Garcia products, as well as their services so far. I am still awaiting parcel (dod is still earlier than expected) but it has been an absolute pleasure to be a customer of IG!!! Never received such wonderful services from any other online products.
Last night, my friends and I went to Tapas for the very first time. I must say I am extremely disappointed in our service... Firstly, we waited for almost an hour just for the waiting staff to even welcome us and take our drink orders. We sat at a very visible table, and other tables around us were being served, somehow waitrons not noticing we were sitting awaiting service. We ordered food and shared our meals so we could taste the food. My chicken fillet was dry, and I feel very much that the menu is overpriced (meal and drinks for 3 people over R800) But to top it all off, shortly after we returned home, I got the most painful stomach cramps! Only to be awake and up with an upset stomach and terrible cramps all night long!!! I expect if I spend that amount of money on a meal, that the service as well as the food should be worth the while... All of us that went last night felt very much not to return as we are very dissatisfied with the new Tapas. And this is sad because we were fond fans of the Old Tapas on the beach front.
