I ordered the Moreton Bay Bug Red Curry from this week\'s specials and was extremely disappointed. At $60 per serve, I expected a quality seafood dish, but what arrived was far below that standard.
The curry itself was watery and lacked any real flavour. There was none of the richness, spice, or depth you\'d expect from a red curry. The Moreton Bay bugs were very small, dark in colour, and looked more like oversized yabbies than premium bugs. Unfortunately, they were just as disappointing in taste, with very little flavour and barely any meat.
What made the experience even worse was the response from staff. We ordered two serves and provided honest, constructive feedback about the meal, explaining that it was poor quality and not what we expected for the price. Despite this, we were still charged the full amount for both dishes and were not offered any form of compensation or gesture of goodwill.
Charging $60 for a special is one thing, but serving a bland, watery curry with undersized bugs and then completely dismissing customer feedback is another. This was easily the most disappointing meal I\'ve had in a long time and certainly not the standard I\'d expect from a venue promoting premium seafood specials.
Unfortunately, I can\'t recommend this dish and would think twice before ordering any future specials.
