What U see is NOT What U Get

Photos in a menu help the customers decide on what to order in a restaurant. We were enticed with the picture you see here - "butter and garlic shrimps" - when we had lunch at Casa Reyes - Greenhills Shopping Center. As you can see, it really looks scrumptious. That's the picture in the menu.

Here, on the other hand was what's delivered to us. It doesn't only look pathetic, it tastes even more pathetic. In the menu-picture, there were 6 tiger prawn shrimps, in the dish given to us, there were 5 suaje shrimps - the size is just a little bigger than the five-peso coin. Also, some shrimps are peeled, others are not, as if the cook couldn't decide on whether the dish should be served with skin or not! Likewise, it's not sauteed in butter and garlic, it's swimming in butter and garlic!! You can't taste the shrimp anymore because the butter taste is overpowering (and that word is still an understatement!) Maybe they need to change the name of this dish to "butter soup with floating shrimps"! The price of this dish? P166 - that's P33 pesos per (very small suaje) shrimp! That is an over-kill!

We also ordered "young corn and mushroom in oyster sauce." The "young corn and mushroom" is too salty and too (dark) brown that it doesn't look appetizing at all. In short we were not impressed at all!!! Restaurants must at least approximate the apperance and size of what's displayed in their menu.
