It was New Year’s Day and I was looking forward to a good first meal of the year, but my experience at Dancing Crab Orchard Central made me regret going there. I had heard good things about the crab there, but not wanting to order a crab, my friend and I decided to order the crab fried rice (pictured) and seafood jambalaya. To be sure, the seafood was good – but that was the only part of the dish that was. The rice was oily and lacked flavour, and we began to feel ‘jelak’ before we were even halfway through. What made the whole experience worse was the use of disposable cutlery and plastic cups for the self-service water – most environment-unfriendly! And to think we were imposed a 10% service charge for what was hardly service at all. #BurppleXChope
