Loong Dim Sum

On Wednesday my cousin and I met for lunch. At first I had suggested Pu3 (I dooooo love their food) but in the end changed my mind and opted for Loong. My cousin was game.

The food was great. The service, however, was horrible! I don’t know if I should elaborate but here goes: I think they brand themselves as fine dining. But the wait staff assigned to our seat had a grumpy look on his face the entire time, didn’t record our drinks order, dismissed us when we had said our table was too small.

Maybe you don’t know this about me but I am mostly easygoing about food. I can eat cheap food, food people qualify as ‘struggle’ food, and also expensive food. When I am in France I usually make a trip to a Michelin restaurant I really like. It’s not pretentious but I like hearing where my food came from. My Malay acquaintances like to say I eat ‘toy’ food. But it’s multiple courses so before dessert I usually need to take a break.

Of course naturally we posted about our day out. It’s actually the first time I’ve been out since I was sexually assaulted in May. I do go out for meals near where I stay but I’ve not been out beyond maybe 4 km from my house.

So my friends saw the post and probably thought it meant I was ready to socialise. I am not!! Maybe give it a couple of months?
