Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes draw the most attention, though reception splits: one reviewer calls the salt and pepper box "so nice," while others complain the salt, pepper, chilli chips were just ordinary chips with barely any seasoning, or that a chicken satay arrived in gravy with peppers and onions instead of peanuts. Close behind, the special curry and sweet and sour chicken oriental style earn praise for being "beautiful" and as good as remembered, and one reviewer highlights a soup loaded with chicken, meaty ribs, and duck in a fruity sauce. Recurring complaints describe overcooked, dry meat in special fried rice and chow mein, a jellified chicken curry, and Singapore vermicelli that tasted reheated from the night before. One reviewer reports becoming sick after eating and describes the food as poor quality. Delivery mishaps recur too, with more than one order sent to the wrong postcode or address before it could be tracked down.
