Halim Restaurant — Restaurant in Surabaya

Just got back from the restaurant, this is my first and will be my last visit as well. Feel so disappointed since got in to until went home from. I came from Jakarta and knew this restaurant from one of selebgram who ate in this restaurant and talking about the famous fried pigeon, feel curious and we made agenda to visit this restaurant.

Must ask for book menu, must ask for the food that hasn't out yet. Fried pigeon and soup has served but the bowl and rice must be asked for serving. And I feel not comfortable while sat on the table contain with 7 chairs cause only the two of us and when we asked for move to smaller table, one of the waiters just said "Ya udah" the attitude was so bad and finally we decided not moving and stay in our current table.

And we feel not being well served by the waiters but for others with 6-8 people in one table, they serve faster than us, maybe the waiters thought we are not rich enough to eat there, both of us are just an ordinary level people not the crazy rich one.

I want to pay at cashier and I checked the receipt for total 280,500, I gave her my ATM Card and shockingly the number she put was 423,500. Thankfully I checked again for the amount, not directly input my PIN numbers. I refused but she said "masukin pinnya" and without any words I just put the receipt in front of her, she realize it was her fault but THERE'S NO SORRY from her mouth, she just revised and gave the machine again to me for input the PIN.

Really bad attitudes from the waiter and cashier, realizing this is the legend restaurant but they didn't maintain the attitude of their employees. They feel people will come to their restaurant for their good food which are the taste is just standard but the fact is 180 degrees different.

It will be my first and my last visit...

For fans of Chinese food, this restaurant is a must visit. This restaurant serves many variations of Chinese food with a very good taste with old style. I ordered shrimp fried rice, seafood "I Fu Mie", fried chicken crackers, kolobak, cah baby kailan and shrimp mayonnaise. Everything is delicious! The I fu noodles have an amazing taste. I love it. The prawn fried rice also has a very good taste with lots of shrimps but a bit oily. The cah baby kailan also has a different taste and texture from what is usually sold elsewhere. The vegetables are a bit dry but still moist, this is special. The Kolobak also has a distinctive taste but a little too sweet. Other orders also have good taste. Unfortunately the service is quite long. The parking lot is spacious, the atmosphere of the room...
