We were at the soft opening of this "Alishan" restaurant...apparently soft is not the right word to describe that opening. It was very limp and lifeless. After waiting for more than an hour we were so disgusted that we paid the bill for 3 lousy lassis and we left. We just dropped the money on the table as we knew the waiting for bill would be another torture.
Few observations made during our one hour ordeal was, all the staff members appeared fascinated with the system that was installed for billing as there was a huge crowd of all staff members, the waitresses looked stressed as nothing was coming out of the kitchen on time, the hostess were smiling but looked scared and the person who finally mustered up courage to check on our order did not returned to update us on the latest status of it. Finally we had to stop him enroute to, God knows where, and he said 10 minutes more!!! Which of course was another 20 minutes and that is the time we stormed out.

To summarise it was an Alishan mess!!!
