The Smokehouse Restaurant, Bangsar


Oh yes, I definitely remember how excited I was when I saw one of the deal site offering this deal. I got to be honest with all of you, I find English Afternoon Tea quite fascinating.

I like it when they present the food on a tier tea cake stand. It kind of give me a perception that the food served are nice. Not to forget, the elegant feeling that will somehow creep in you when you tell others, "Oh, come join us! We're just having English Afternoon Tea now." Ahaha. Just kidding!

However, I got to tell you, my trip down to the place with the bf was quite a big disappointment. Allow me to slowly explain why I didn't like it at all through some of the pictures. But first and foremost, I got to tell you, I was quite frustrated by the fact that I waited for as long as 30 minutes for my English Afternoon Tea (food) to be served. Recalling back, the customers at the table on my left was complaining too.

As far as I understand, it won't take that long to prepare it. I assume the Orange Cakes, Brownies, Scones and Apple Pies are all ready beforehand. Okay, let's just assume they prepare the sandwich on the spot when the customers arrive. How long will it take right? I can accept if they claim that they are heating up the food. But at least have some courtesy to acknowledge us right? Plus, when the food came, only the Apple Pies were hot. It was such a turn off!


At least the coffee wasn't that bad. It was bitter just nice to our liking. But throughout the day, I went to the toilet for countless time. I don't usually have this reaction when I drink coffee but the only coffee that I know will give me such reaction is Nescafe. So, I'm just curious if the coffee is actually Nescafe. Afterall, the tea choice offered in the English Afternoon Tea Set was just Boh Tea (The customers at the table on my right had tea). Pfft!


This was another turn off for me and the bf. WHERE THE HELL IS MY 2 TIERS?! The bf asked the waiter and you know what he said? "Oh, we don't have enough." I'm already rolling my eyes. Because the customers at the table on my right finished their food like ages ago and they were only talking and surfing the net on their laptop. The waiter didn't even bother to clean their table. I was quite pissed off with the food presentation. Like seriously. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! 


The bf tried to cheer me up. He poured a lot of milk in the coffee and was attempting to make a love shape out of it. Fail -___- Still, can't deny the fact that it do look like a love shape. Just that it wasn't perfect. Ahaha.

Oh well, will I go back to The Smokehouse Restaurant, Bangsar? NEVER! There's seriously nothing to shout about.
