About the restaurant:
After reading all the fantastic raving reviews about TRUE BLUE, I brought 3 out-of-town guests for lunch last Saturday. In summary, we had an extremely disappointing, overpriced and completely unpleasant experience.
Ordered Food:
As for the ayam goreng, it was dry and tasteless and when we requested for some chicken thigh/leg meat instead of all breast meat, the owner/chef (Benjamin Seck) was grossly obnoxious, rude and unpleasant in dealing with our request, which was ultimately completely ignored anyway.
My verdict:
The dishes were clearly mass-produced earlier in the day and dished out in small overpriced portions. EVERYTHING is charged for, including each glass of plain tap ice water! Absolutely ridiculous - it's like they're trying to squeeze every possible penny out of their customers. I will NEVER go back to True Blue again and I will be sure to advise all of my friends from going there. It is a terrible reflection of authentic Peranakan cuisine and worst of all, a disgustingly rude and arrogant chef-owner to top it off. A true disgrace to singapore restaurants and what customer service is all about.
