We thank you for your review and gladly take that with open mind.<br /><br />It is never our intention to defend our restaurant by writing this comment. It is rather to give you insight of what might be the culprit of your negative experience you came across last time.<br /><br />First, Lomie (especially this Lomie Bagan) is not for everyone taste bud. Take me for example, eventhough I am the owner of this Lomie restaurant, I never like to eat Lomie. Eversince I was little, everytime my dad cook this style of lomie(recipee is from my dad family heritage), I never touched it, it is too fishy to my liking. So here we go, not everyone will like to eat this style of lomie. But for people who like seafood, they will tell different stories.<br /><br />Second, the 2 small size cubes of meat you were mentioned, we will have to object. The popularity of our restaurant, at least in our area, is not without reasons. Other than good cooking style, we are quiet famous because of the generous size of our meals. In the Lomie Bagan style itself, the recipe calls for the use of pork, fish, prawns, pork internal organ , cabbage, and topped with egg . We are puzzled to learn you only find 2 cubes of meat in the lomie.<br /><br />Third, we agree with you. No one wants to eat salty food. We apologise for that matter. It is very common in the busy situation, when the cooks and staffs are overwhelmed by incoming food orders. Hence, it will sometime deteriorate our food quality, in your case it is too salty. Still, it is not an excuse. We are trying hard to keep improving our quality of food in any situation, busy or not. <br /><br />We would like to personally invite you to our restaurant to indulge in other style of food that we are great at. If you don’t like this Lomie Bagan style, you maybe can try different version of Lomie, for example: stir fry Lomie (Lomie goreng), Sapo Lomie. Or you can try our Chinese food , such as Stir Fry Eel with Fu Mak (Lindung cah Fumak), Chicken/Beef steak in brown gravy (Bistik ayam/Sapi), Nanking Chicken (ayam nanking), Black pepper beef, Prawn/Crab Omelette with sweet sour sauce (Fu Yong Hai), Gurame Fish with sweet sour sauce (Gurame asam manis), Sapo Tofu (Sapo Tahu), and many more.<br /><br />Customer satisfaction is our top priority. It is a shame to learn there are customers who really dislike our food. Although we understand, it is impossible to please everyone; at least this is something we can do to make it up to you. <br /><br />I ll write a separate email to give you my contact details so that you can contact me when you have decided to come to our restaurant again.<br /><br />Again, we value your comments in this blog. Thank you very much.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Ta Thao Restaurant.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254796145089860570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436657359499800507.post-83928629510041697712009-05-22T18:12:34.088+07:002009-05-22T18:12:34.088+07:00shantanugosh: Thank you for your kind compliment :...<B>shantanugosh</B>: Thank you for your kind compliment :) Hopefully you can visit Indonesia again, there are a lot of interesting places and also not forgetting food to try ;)Selbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928176267795475683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436657359499800507.post-41215500675650660612009-05-22T17:53:40.511+07:002009-05-22T17:53:40.511+07:00You have a lovely blog.
