Hi Food lovers,
Today i went to Choys at Negombo for lunch. The table and the arrangements looked good. The gentlemen who waited seem to be bit nervous either due to his lack of experience or due to the crowd.
I ordered a chef salad with just a lemon juice without any starter while my partner ordered a chicken and corn soup with a cordon bleu and a lemon juice .
We had to wait for more than 20minutes for our drinks while it look 35minutes for the soup. The lemon juice tasted really good with a great punch. Am not quite sure whether it was the waiters hand that made the outside of the glass bit dirty with some wired black marks or it was not washed properly. Anyway the lemon juice would easily get a 9out of 10 if the dirt was ignored. :) The Soup was given a 7 out of 10 by my partner.
After another 10minutes of a wait i got my chef salad like this, with no Cheese, Meat or cucumber as i imagined.
The meat could be ignored due to the bacon but it was way too dry. But i did not want to ignore the fact that they forgot cheese. So i called the waiter and requested for my cheese and meat. After couple of seconds he came back with the same dish answering "Am sorry but this is the way we serve the chef salad in Choys". i was quite shocked with this rude answer and replied saying "Then you rather name it Choys salad than naming it chef salad" , and requested for the chef.
I had to wait for another 10minutes to talk with a manager looking person (But not the chef). He directly asked my what i wanted and i replied "Thank you, This looks really nice but i would love my chef salad with cheese and some meat." and with only one more question he agreed to send me what i requested. "would you like your chicken fried or roasted?" i replied saying i would like it boiled. while i was waiting my partner got his dish.
Though it did not look much appealing it tasted better than what i tasted later in my dish. The chicken breast was crumb coated nicely and the ham was layered evenly but there was no enough cheese. The dish was craving cheese.this could be given a 5out of 10
After another 5minutes i received this separately.The boiled Chicken, cucumber and cheese. or should i say Mozzarella? Yes. it was mozzarella. i did not want to complain further. i was hungry and tired. so i dig in to my meal.
The dressing was too thin and peppery but tasted quite nice to be honest.The bell pepper, cucumber, mushrooms, tomatoes and the carrots were cut nicely. I ate everything except the cheese. :) Also we were not interested in having a dessert. Can give this dish a 4out of 10.
If am to talk about the prices, they were quite high compared to their presented food quality.
I would give this meal and the service a total of a 4 out of 10.
What do you think? It added good spice to my day or not?
With Spice,
SJ
Thank you
