Just a quickie today as this place called New York New York Deli, opposite Cold Storage 1 Utama, is not worth so much of my time. I'll just let the pics do the talking mostly.
This is Summer Cuddle a thick frozen strawberry and mango drink which was ok but the thing was boiboi ordered Lover's Sunset which is an orange juice with cranberry. I have no idea the order was wrong until I paid the bill *roll eyes*My order of Smoked Salmon Velvet (RM14.90) with a description of smoked salmon, tuna mayo, marinated tomatoes, grilled vegetables and stuffed onions came looking like this. The colour of the smoked salmon is kinda turn off. There were just a tiny blob of tuna mayo and I can't remember seeing any tomatoes nor grilled vege.
Boiboi had wanted pizza but they ran out of the base and it was only 7pm on a public holiday!!! So he opted for beef lasagna (RM16.90) which was just so so only.
The crazy Capt'n Hook went and order this burger...
It's not any burger but a Giant Yankee Burger that costed a whooping RM43.50!!! It's about 8" in diameter and supposedly if you can finish this whole dang thing all on your own, you won't need to pay for it! I didn't even have to try ok cos by just looking at it, I'm stuffed.
Capt'n Hook said the thick bun is DRY and the rather thin meat patty is DRY and just look the amount of cheese on top... so stingy. Don't bother to order ok, just not worth it. Anyway, this burger can be shared by 4 person. On yeah... not only you'll have the hazard of NOT going to touch any burger for the next one month, you'll attract a lot of stares and on-lookers who came up just to look at the burger!
Seriously, this is not a place I will return ever again! I've read the latest KLUE and there was a review saying that the food was not up to mark as they're only 2 months old and it could be a teething problem. 2 months and still having teething problems???
Anyway, not only the food was not up to mark but the wait staff need to be educated on what's on the menu. We asked one of them to explain on some items but she can't. She asked the manager to come to attend to us. This happened twice! Well, the manager is not well versed in English and had difficulties in expressing. Towards the end, Capt'n Hook gave him feed back in Cantonese about the burger and he just stare and nod without saying anything. Perhaps Capt'n Hook should have spoke to him on Mandarin???

this place was thoroughly disappointing when i was there abt a mth ago.
ReplyDelete1) menu came sticky with ketchup. wtf.
2) the 'chunky' veg soup was pathetic. can count the number of chunks in the shallow vapid soup.
3) some of the staff were quite willing the help (foreign workers) where others (local workers) looked bored and lacked initiative.
4) the burger i had... was not outstanding. it was at best, the level of McD.
sorry... no repeat visit for me. pity... i thought the menu had potential.
HAHAHAHA lanatir, for once we BOTH agreed on the same thing eh??? sighh we got cheated by the beautiful pics and descriptions on the menu and buntings!!!
ReplyDeletewat do u mean 'for once'????
ReplyDeleteanyway we dont eat at the same places one...
Both the fries & burger are not attractive at all!!
ReplyDeletelanatir, cos i kenot afford to those places dat u go :P *siam kuat2*
ReplyDeleteyeah mimi... no appetite
gosh, this place has attracted so many negative reviews online. but i honestly think i COULD finish that burger on my own ... just that it's probably not worth it. :D
ReplyDeletethe burger cant b that big rite? just that like sean said.. i cant gain that kinda weight if i finish that man..
ReplyDeleteoh my god..I was actually plannin to get here this weekend w my makan pal. Gd god, that bad?? I was so tempted jz by the menu!
ReplyDeleteOh the food looks a crying shame!! And this is probably the most expensive tasteless burger ever! OK, note to stay far far away!
ReplyDeletesean & joe, you guys sure ka??? 8" you know??? plus the bun is thick and dry!
ReplyDeletenomad gourmand, did you try googling msian blogs? save your money and go somewhere else!!!
550ml jar of faith, yes not worth it at all
oh dear .. and i tot i discovered some place cool last month, what's more got FRIED MARS BARS in the menu some more!!!
ReplyDeletenow i know better. haha
The burger looks terribly dry! Did Capt'n Hook manage to finish it? =P
ReplyDeleteUh oh doesn't sound good. Even Subway, just a mere few feet away, would have been better I think!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review.. another place to avoid. I tried this snack place near here.. selling some french donuts or something.. not nice as well.

Pam @Foodyumz
Hah... And I thought the one in 1Borneo (Sabah) is the one lacking kicks due to geographical factor. So it's nationwide...
ReplyDeletewow hi pam!!!! where have you been la???
ReplyDeletehoneybee, ahhh so Sabah's outlet is also lousy huh?
Tried this place last year (2009) and thought the clams in a light white wine/cream sauce was amazing. Am planning to go back there on an upcoming trip.
