Royal Kitchen at The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa

My mom's friend who has been our guide in this trip, took us to a well known restaurant in Patong, The Royal Kitchen, which are located in The Royal Parradise Hotel & Spa.

This restaurant serve traditional Cantonese cuisine, where their two signature dishes are Peking Duck and Roast Succulent Pig. The restaurant is located on the 25th floor of Paradise wing, which makes it the island's tallest hotel tower, and with a 180 degree views it's gives of a romantic and calming view across the bay. It's indeed a perfect places for fireworks view in New Years.

However, it's reputations for good food, ends with a huge disappointment for me. With all the praise the restaurant got on our way there, gave us an expectation that didn't hold. They had the appearance for a 5 stars restaurant but with a serving for a bad common restaurant. Perhaps we was unlucky with the timing, that it's not tourist season, but that is no excuse for a restaurant to do a bad work. If you are open, then you should keep up your standard.

Anyways, this was our food experience at Royal Kitchen, it started at the entrance with bad service, no waitress and people who worked there, gave no intention of leading us to a tables, despite the fact that we had booked. When we got a table, we didn't get the menu before 8 minutes later. 

We ordered 6 different dishes for sharing, one of them is my favorite dish, Pineapple fried rice, and to my surprise I found ants crawling with the rice... OK, maybe they was unlucky with the pineapple, sometimes it's difficult to see or get rid of all dirt on it's surface or between the leaves. Anyways, got rid of the ants and started on the dish. There was almost no shrimp in it, or the main ingredients, the pineapple meats. In fact, it's was simply lack of the most ingredients , except for rice. Fucking A....

We also ordered Thick stir fried noodles, another favorite of mine, the dish tasted burnt, it was literally burnt. They even tried to cover it up by putting all the burned on the bottom. The whole dish tasted like coal... 

The other dishes were OK, but poor in taste, almost no seasoning, but comparison they was much better than the Pineapple fried rice and Thick stir fried noodles.
