Long En
A local Western food chain that’s been around for 46 years — the main course food has always been consistently bad! Tourists might wonder: how could such a terrible Western restaurant survive this long?! Easy — either because locals have low expectations when it comes to food… ahem, I mean, because this place isn’t really about the mains — it’s all about the desserts! One look at their menu filled with waffles, sundaes, and ice cream creations, and you’ll realize: this isn’t so much a Western restaurant as it is a dessert shop. 🥩Ribeye Steak Completely misrepresented! The green broccoli in the photo was randomly swapped with yellow cauliflower, and the staff didn’t even inform us beforehand. Super unprofessional — like some careless cross-border e-commerce seller sending the wrong item. The steak itself was tiny, noticeably smaller than what you'd get at Aston’s for the same price. Sauce options? Only no sauce, BBQ, sambal, or black pepper — no classic mushroom sauce! For anyone who doesn’t prefer spicy food, this place is downright hostile — even the BBQ sauce has a spicy flavor! The server saw customers had fries but didn’t bring ketchup proactively. There were no condiment bottles on the table either — you have to walk over and pump out a tiny serving into a small cup, McDonald’s-style. This restaurant charges a service fee! But the food is served by robots. No proper human service at all! 🍔 Beef Patty Burger A straight-up pre-packaged item! Think McDonald’s, but 2 to 4 times the price. The patty had a clear frozen taste — dry, flavorless, no aroma. Zero joy in every bite. One friend literally gave up halfway because it was so unappetizing. This burger gives new meaning to the phrase “tastes like cardboard.” 🍲 Mushroom Soup Also a pre-made product! It tastes just like the instant soup powder from the supermarket. If you've ever tried a few supermarket brands, you'll probably guess exactly where they source it from. There's absolutely no reason to pay triple the price to eat this here when you could make the exact same thing at home. And yet, the menu proudly calls it the “Soup of the Day”! Do the chefs here really understand what "Soup of the Day" is supposed to mean? Maybe they should binge-watch Gordon Ramsay’s *Hell’s Kitchen* and take notes on how he screams at people who mess that up. The dining environment is quite noisy — one of the staff keeps pushing around a small cart full of utensils, just strolling through the restaurant! Logically, he should be collecting or setting utensils while pushing the cart, but I watched him circle twice without picking up a single item or setting anything down. He was purely generating that clattering noise of utensils banging together! The sofas in the restaurant are also badly worn out — the seats are full of cracks, and they literally scratch your thighs when you sit down! It’s unbelievable they haven’t been replaced! This place is still in business because of the desserts. Banana boats, waffles with ice cream, chocolate sundaes — that’s their real focus. So if travelers don’t want to be disappointed in the local food scene, just treat this place as a dessert shop. For actual meals? Go literally anywhere else.
