Dreamland Restaurant, Tawau (Review)

Hello there! Can't believe it has only been a day since I have last blogged... what an improvement haha!
Well, today I went to Dreamland with my parents since mom was lazy to cook. And I am going to do a quick review on what I ate.

Grilled Sole
Okay~ first of all, let's talk about the overall dining experience.
Dreamland is actually kind of famous in Tawau, just ask anyone I'm sure they know. We went there on a Saturday, so expect the place to be crowded. Thank God we secure a place before more people start swarming in (we arrived at 6.30pm). They are usually full around 7pm and you'll have to wait.

The downside to all this fame is that you can hardly eat in peace. I mean there are like people standing behind you waiting for a seat, how to savour the food D:?

Anyway, I really wouldn't go there for the atmosphere. It just didn't seem right to have to rush through your meal. Imagine if it was a 3-course-meal.

We waited a whole 15 mins before we get to order, it was loud (the lady in the shop (owner?) kept raising her voice at the workers because they were slow it seems) and they served really REALLY crudely =.= Please don't expect it to be classy.

Now down to the food: overall 3.5/5
Good points: It was edible, portion was okay for small eaters like me (definitely not for the makan monsters), had 3 sides (the french fries were good - thumbs up)
Lacking: presentation looked just so-so, mom's sole was a bit burnt, the sole meat was rough! And too kedekut with the dipping sauce (dad had to resort to ketchup at the end), other sides were not so nice (seaweed n pickles)

But again for Rm16 + 10% service charge, I guess it wasn't too bad. But really, don't go there on weekends.
