Noticed that Lai Po Heen was participating in the Malaysian gourmet festival ( <url> so expected to be dazzled by excellent food if not the whole experience.Here's what i got:(1) Extremely slow lunch time service; 1st course arrived 45minutes after order(2) cutlery with additional 'goodies' - a fork with leftover attached rice vermicelli and a spoon with dried-up vege cling-on(3) A festival food menu which looked more impressive than it tasted(4) At RM118++ per person, think there are 99/100 more places i could get better value.(5) A luncheon which required a takeaway Burger King to fill up!Ok, there is one positive. The additional order of durian pancakes was excellent but one cant live just on durian pancakes........Perhaps i got ripped-off by savvy advertising of the MIGF but hey, it is the Mandarin Oriental! Expected much better.
