Victoria Station (USJ)

This place has been pretty much every Subang kid’s staple special occasion spot in the 90s and early noughties. And as vivid as our childhood memories may go, it’s not the food that we remember but the restaurant’s interesting train dining concept where diners get to sit in a built-in life size railway coach within the restaurant that we all dream of having at home. I was prepared to set my expectations low on this one after reading many negative reviews online. The standards here have definitely dwindled down from its popular days. The waitstaff appear to be taking casual dining more casually with their untucked shirts and singlets, and they certainly didn't look very motivated working there. I can't tell if it was the pressure or if the waiter pitied me because I was alone, but I totally did not feel comfortable having him right behind watching me eat. Service was fast. Barely 10 minutes upon ordering and my plate of grilled fish fillet baked with garlic butter sauce was served. I was the only customer there at 3pm. Thankfully the fish was cooked alright although the garlic butter tasted a bit ‘jelak’ after a while. Their chocolate cake with ice cream was nice though. For RM7.90, I thought that was the highlight of my entire meal. They have three parking lots for their customers, but you’d have to move the reserve pole yourself. It's sad to find a restaurant so amazing back then to end up like this.
