Pride of Asia Food Taster Day

Catering giants Pride of Asia organised a unique Food Taster Day to gauge Community opinion on food services available in the area. Management opened up the newly refurbished restaurant floor for part of the afternoon to give the community a chance to have their say on improvements that could be considered and implemented.
“We are revamping our restaurant menu and came up with the idea of having our menu influenced by those who matter the most to us – our customers,” said Manager WH Shelim.

“It is precisely with this idea in mind that we have invited customers to partake of our finest culinary delights this afternoon.

“We will be taking opinions in various ways like questionnaires, verbal and emails. The feedback we receive will greatly contribute to our new and upcoming menu, he added.”

High points:

A wonderful new layout and décor gives the interior an interesting and very satisfying appeal.

The food was top draw. My sons attended with me, and we thoroughly enjoyed all the delights on offer. It’s not hard to see why Pride of Asia are top dogs.


Low point:

Just the one! A screaming banshee who kept hissing to her senior colleagues; “this is a taster, not a wedding,” – referring to hungry visitors who dared to go for a second portion. It was lunchtime after all, and some of us had been working prior to attending the event.

The worst thing was that there were less than 20 guests at the time and all within earshot. I found her attitude detrimental to the great standards at POA and offensive to attending guests. Bangladeshis don’t believe in tasters – it’s a full whack meal or nothing. Keep this in mind honey because that’s where the greens are going to roll in from. If you can’t, I suggest you please leave the kitchen.
