On a fine friday, a gang of us happily went lunch in One-Utama and i must admit it was a huge mistake of mine to suggest to try the Jack’s Place set lunch.
The friday’s menu, which include:
1. Fried dory
2. Chicken chop
3. Steak
Starting from RM15-RM19, inclusive of soup of the day, coffee/tea, maincourse, dessert. And little did i know that, the horror just began.
1. Soup was tasteless. I believe it was carrot soup. If you think the mushroom soup in Pizza Hut is bad, come try this. I took 2 sips and left it just there. Horrible.
2. The food presentation was bad! The color combination is bad bad bad! They could have used some green broccoli instead of this pale white cabbage? I lost my appetite on the spot. And my steak was fatty fat, fat! It was pretty tasteless on its own and I had to drown it with chili sos.
3. Fried dory. Extremely oily. Again, food presentation was bad.
4. I don’t know how this tasted but it certainly did not get good comments.
As for the dessert/tea. I took only a bite of each and no pictures as my mood was already ruined by the lunch.
And not to mention, there is a middle-aged chinese man working there, whom I believe is the manager. He was so sarcastic to us! So, basically it was a BAD lunch!
And I would strongly advise you that NOT to step in there. EVER!

Looks like Jack’s place would soon be jack-sh*t.

Yeah the food there is going down fast. How come not yet close shop.
April 27th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Don’t say it’s a huge mistake to eat there. You’re a food reviewer, aren’t you? So you must try everything lah…
BTW, which part of 1 Utama is Jack’s Place located? I haven’t had a clue.

Gallivanter: yeah they should rename the shop!!!
Che-Cheh: even during lunch hour there were not many people. i guess people have known =/
Khengsiong: since we hardly go makan something nice so i feel quite bad to suggest it to them. jack’s place is somewhere near italianies. next to la senza. it is pretty easy to miss it anyway

Ok ma.. i can try this next time la.

what did the manager do? lol..
when this place opened in 1U many years ago, it already gotten a bad review.. thats why till this day i never try it..
but surprisingly.. they still haven’t close shop even after like what.. 4yrs?

wow, i never knew it was possible, but that place has become even more fail since the last time.
p.s. i notice you eat around the TTDI area. have you tried D’Cengkih? it looks canggih but my dad said the briyani isn’t… canggih.

Pale looking foods, may be that is their trade mark?
April 27th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I’ve been there once and never went back again! That was like about 2 years ago. Now still so bad? How did they manage to survive all these years?
April 28th, 2009 at 1:47 am
Yeah… you are right when you said food presentation was bad… it looked terrible!
April 28th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
The food really look not so appetizing. Somemore is not cheap. Too plain. How could they use white cabbage? Think will close shop fast like that.
April 28th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

April 29th, 2009 at 11:02 am

So sad..the set lunch used to be pretty good and value for money. Well..that was about at least a year ago.

this place sucks big time! I had the worst experience dining at this place… the staff they hired, oh my, it’s so bad, it’s beyond description. this waiter who took my order made a mistake and thought i ordered two sets of fish and chips, which i had only ordered one set, and the other set should be fried rice with chicken. i even pointed at the numbers in the menu for him. When he asked if we want coffee or tea, i said coffee for myself and also for my hubby. He asked if i want two, i said yes, two thinking that he was referring to two coffee. then, two sets of fish and chips came. That idiotic waiter had the guts to come back twice with very rude attitude, first telling me i said two sets of fish and chips, and second time asking me if i’m sure i wanted fried rice and chicken. i was like “hello… who wasn’t sure at the beginning????. How rude! I regretted not complaining there and then coz i had diarrhea in the evening. I definitely won’t hesitate to share my experience with the rest of the world!
