C & R Cafe Restaurant Reviews

1 out of 10 stars

The worst restaurant i have been to in Chinatown is C&R, it was busy, so told to eat across the road at a shop counter , other wise i had to wait longer to eat in the restaurant.

We got a seat in the restaurant , for the four of us, it took a long time to take our order, we told the waitress we waited a long time for our table and then to get some service, she did not like this & spoke to a fat lady behine the till, ( i think we should hav left at this point!!)

When we got our beer, it was too warm, ask them to change it , the said they would not, but gave us a glass of ice each, and said this is how they drink beer in malaysa (i think i am been scam).

Food took over 45 minute (now you know why there a q), and was only warm and well below avarage for look or taste. we only pick at the food, it was that bad!!( should have left)

we quickly paid our bill and left,
it came to a total of £55.00 for 4 warm beer , 2 warm noodle dishes, 1 warm soup noodle, 1 curry with rice & 1 greasy satay prawn
(we decided not to say anything, it not worth the bother to upset our night out)

we want for a beer & pick another restaurant, the night was saved

I am of Malaysian origin and venured out to this cafe for obvious reasons. I found the food there very authentic but was slightly dissapointed with their satay which was basically fried chicken rather then bbq-ed and the peanut sauce was horrid. I recommend the kampung style fried rice, char keow teow and the hokkien mee.
A little pricy for what is basically a simple cafe. Prepare to pay around £10 per person min.
