The long and short about That Sucky Restaurant

After some soul-searching, I realized that Nerd is probably the biggest reason why I got promoted. I thus decided to treat him to a nicer place for dinner instead of KFC. We ended up at this new eatery at Citylink Mall call New York New York, which looks really swanky with the nice décor and all.

Big mistake.

The place sucked so much I just have to bitch about my terrible experience:


1) The Milkshake Sucked
I knew something was terribly wrong when our first order, the Double Chocolate Shake arrived. Really, I’m committing travesty by calling that terrible concoction a milkshake. It’s part lumpy, overly watery, and totally lacked the rich texture and flavor that good milkshakes are supposed to have. If you want a good one, go for the chocolate milkshake offered by Billy Bomber’s. It’s one of the closest things to heaven on earth I swear. At $6.50, it’s 40 cents cheaper that the Double Chocolate Shit at NYNY too. Heh.

2) The Appetizer Sucked
With the wonderful memory of the delightful fried mushrooms offered at Manhattan Fish Market still fresh in my mind, I decided to give the version offered by NYNY a try. After sinking my teeth into one, I decided that the name ‘Crunchy Mushrooms’ was a big misnomer. And not only was it not crunchy, it also lacked the juiciness and flavor of fried mushrooms. A big disappointment.

3) The Fish Sucked
Nerd ordered a Tagliatelle Alfredo, which is really a fanciful name for pasta with cream and fish. And the fish was terrible. I reckon it must have spent hours in the deep fryer because it looked burnt and was so tough, I could hardly taste any fish. And the pasta was too creamy. Fail.

4) The Specialty Sucked
Perhaps I have been too demanding. Perhaps they have a legitimate right to serve sucky milkshakes, mushrooms, and fish because after all, they are foremost a burger place. I thus find it unforgivable that their Juicy Burger Supreme failed to make the grade too. To be fair, the buns, which came with just the right amount of toast, were good. But the steak! The steak!!!! It was over done, and was devoid of any juiciness and flavor. To their credit, the portion was generous, though that redeeming feature was lost on me as I left a tenth of the not-juicy-at-all Juicy Burger untouched.

5) The Desserts Could Have Sucked
Following the horrible drinks, appetizers and main courses, I couldn’t bring myself to order any desserts. But going by the logic of guilty by association, I reckon it would have sucked mightily too.

6) The Condiment Containers Sucked
They placed ketchup in what should have been a mustard dispenser! And chili in what should have been a ketchup dispenser!

7) The Pool Table Sucked
I don’t know how to play pool.


The place sucked so much, I urge everyone to give that place a try just to experience for yourself how sucky it is.

I really, really should have eaten at KFC. Would have been must cheaper too. Walau.
