Dukes & Duchess (TTDI) VS Sakura Kristal (Setia City Mall)

Dukes & Duchess ran quite a few deals on Groupon from 2012 to 2013. It's typically half off aka RM32 for two people.

Typically; one platter of pork burger with fries and salad plus a bowl of soup for each person. Sounds like a really good deal until you try out the food for yourself:

“SUPER DRY pork ribs and pork burgers”

Chinese blog translated to English - Funny!

So reminds me of Sakura Kristal (Setia City Mall) LivingSocial.my deal. The restaurant was nice (classy); you could sit indoors and enjoy the dim lighting. Or sit out with a roof overhead and a view of a small fountain not far on a fully paved ground.

The food was not so nice; in both quality and quantity. I promise you will leave the place with a nagging sense of hunger that you came to fulfil but failed to. The meat (mix grill and salmon fish) looks like it's been cut in half. And I don't know if it's over-cooked or not, but the meat is definitely unjuicy. It's a sure thing you won't not notice.

Honestly, what's the chef doing? Shouldn't he still be apprenticing under a real chef? Maybe a hotel is a better place for him as long as it serves buffet with food the kind no one cares for.

It's cash voucher but the staff says it's only valid for ala carte orders. This isn't stated anywhere on the LivingSocial.my deal page. I called up the restaurant and happened to found out.

You don't have to book your place at Sakura Kristal. It's instant redemption. Dukes & Duchess on the other hand, wants you to book online first. They allot approx. 10 pax per hour per day from 11am to 5pm.
