I didn't even get to eat here to begin with.You know why?
You know how you call up to make reservations?And once the operator passes you to the coffeehouse which is the Swez Brasserie?your conversation will go something like the one below....
Bear with me first.We will get to that later.I have tried calling in twice on two different occasions once on Christmas and another in the days preceeding CNY to enquire about the price,what spreads they had,any activities and so on so forth.
I thought the first time I spoke to the Chinese ahmoi she was so dumb,then on another occasion it was a Malay girl and she could equal the first dumb broad.
You can speak from English to Manglish to Malay to try to get the message across to them,but somehow they will not register anything you are saying.
Bottom line is just walk in and pray you never have to engage in any conversation with any of their staff that hang around the telephone.
Call the number for Eastin Penang,ask to connect to the coffeehouse and this is what you will probably hear.
