Review: Chillis Restaurant

I went to Chillis Restaurant last Saturday at Gurney Plaza, Penang. I was disappointed with the food there. I was conned by the pictures in the menu. It's really for ILLUSTRATION PURPOSE ONLY. Whatever you order is totally different from the menu. What a disappointment...

Main dish no 1: Grilled Chicken Portobello.
Totally different from the image in the menu. In the menu, the chicken looked succulent and the slices of portobello mushroom looked big. Accorrding to the waiter, the portion is very big. I agreed the portion is big. Not because of the portobello mushroom or the chicken portion are big, but because the amount of mashed potatos which they gave is a lot. So once you have finished the mashed potatos, you would have felt very full and did not feel like eating the rest anymore.
The chicken is tasteless. The chicken breast meat which they gave me is badly grilled. Hard and dry. No special sauce for you to dip. You want dipping, use the tomato or chilli sauce given on the table. The slices of portobello mushroom is sooooo tiny. i think 5 times smaller than the picture shown.
Overall rate: 2/5. The 2 is for the mashed potatos because it's really delicious.

Main dish no 2: Lamb Shank.
No illustration in the menu. The portion is quite big. Same as above. The amount of mashed potatos is alot. The lamb shank is soft. Can be torn from its bone easily. A special sauce is given for you to pour over the lamb shank.
Overall rate: 4/5. I think is the best dish for me.

As for the service, well, not that friendly. The waiters are not attentive enough.

I don't think i will go there again in this short period of time.
