Rip Off!

$16.95 for a "Shrimp and Roasted Duck" Fried Rice.

Enough rice to feed 2 people but there were only 15 puny shrimps the size of a fingernail, 15 "pieces of duck" smaller than that where half of those turned out to be chicken , and if you are willing to play treasure hunt among the rice, you may be able to find some traces of cut-up mushrooms and veggies.

WTF.

Very disappointing. I know places where I could get better fried rice for a third of that price.

Mod!Cin Trust you to start a thread about food!


The Chinese Hot Wok at the grocery store I go to always has very good food at great prices. Though I haven't tried the fried rice, it looks really good in the case.

Well, another rip off today at a Vietnamese place. I expected an order of spring rolls to look like this:



Instead, I got 5 spring rolls the SIZE OF HALF OF MY THUMB. Oh, and 2 slices of cucumbers and 2 slices of lettuce. Wow.

It's times like these that I am glad I am a vegetarian--no one skimps on giving you veggies.
