Black Society & Earle Swensen's | Sam's Birthday

Lunch at Black Society with foodie musketeers for Sam's Birthday

Reservation was made online ONE month ahead to secure a table on Saturday!Me & Wendy reached earlier & were being led to this table. 

However, when Sam arrives, she is being led to another table by another host. When we call out to her, the host leading Sam questioned us (in a very hostile manner) on why we are seating at this table. 

When I informed her another host (pointing to the host) led us to this table, she changed her tone of voice & asked if we're ok to be seated at this table. When we reply saying we're fine with this table, she replied again, saying this table is not comfortable for 4 & so we agreed to change a table. 

She then proceeds to lead us to a table by the window.

All the dim sum were delicate & delish! They also runs a promotion of 30% off for all dim sum from Monday - Saturday (Except Public Holiday), so it's pretty pocket friendly. 

However, service has major room for improvement! Firstly, the host was hostile to us, which I mentioned earlier.

Secondly, we were led to the table beside window right? By the time we're halfway thru our meal, the sun is glaring happily at me & Theresa. None of the staff even bother to check if we need the blind to be put down. But for every new group of customers being led to tables beside the window, host automatically outs down the blind. 

Thirdly, it's very difficult to get their attention! We had to raise our hands up a couple of times before someone notices & attend to us for water refill & adding on of orders.

Oops.. no, I didn't purposely hide behind Sam to look slimmer. It's my big bag that happens to hide my tummy 😂Theresa had to rush back to work, so a quick wefie while waiting for table at Earle Swensen'sMao Shan Wang ice cream to make it a "birthday cake"Happy Belated Birthday, Sam
