500 Posts for the Munch blog!


As this is our 500th post, I though it should be a funny one:
Coffee, chocolate and men, some things only get better rich!

Congratulations on your 500th blog. I recommend that MUNCH remain a BLOG and no longer cater to the food industry.

A friend and I had MUNCHies yesterday so we decided to invest in the MUNCH taste test.

After tasting a "KOBE BURGER" that taste like ground street cat and pigeon. We proceed to taste the mayonnaise sandwich that was to be pastrami but really! "Where’s the beef!!!" it was 2 pieces of thinly slice peppered beef with a tablespoon of coleslaw and 3 of mayonnaise. Thank god the bread, which was almost empty, was decent. Following was an insult of an "Italian Steak" sandwich (project): ruined soggy multi day old baguette if you wish to degrade baguette. With 6 small slices of tough-over-cooked steak (which occupied a 1/4 the bread holding capacity) inside, some rocca and some awful sauce. UGH!!!
Then forget the fries, must have been taken from the bin at Mc Donald’s fake look-a-like Penguin BATRIQ decay project because these fries were like microwave "rubber" fries that had been defrosted in the first place. Thinking Munch would be good we order a side of them not realizing they sent a few with each sandwich it was a shame and sin to throw it all away.
To compare we tried the mushroom pizza that on the menu claims to be PORTOBELLO, but I never knew Portobello’s were so small and taste like common small brown mushrooms.

We were so grossed out by the whole experience that we didn't even bother to open the two pathetic salads.

In the end we spent 16 KWD on getting a middle finger held up at us on behalf of MUNCH, so thanks munch for letting us waste our appetite. (As you can see, money is not the issue, it’s about the principle and standard of good eating and living vs. shameless racketeers in the gastronomic market like yourselves!)

We went right back to eating roasted almonds with raisins and became much happier again.

Overall we vote MUNCH is a 1 of 10, 10 being the highest but in efforts to not degrade you we commonly agreed a 2 was optimal.

Dear Anonymous, thank you for your honesty. On behalf of Munch, we apologize for your experience with us. I will personly look in to who prepared your food and get to the bottom of this.
I would also like to guarantee you that our breads are delivered fresh daily, and that our Kobe is AUS certified beef.
As for the mushrooms, the pizza has 3 kinds of mushrooms all chopped up small, portaballo, brown and white button mushrooms.
We only strive to be better and learn from your comments. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your quick response via blog.

I'd hoped to include all the details of my experience with MUNCH.

Yet… the beat goes on.

I was surprised when I received a PHONE CALL within 10 minutes of posting the blog, which began with a lecture on shopping for KOBE beef in Kuwait.

I hung up. (Sorry...)
☹
An immediate spilt second call followed and before the lecture could resume. I graciously interject with appreciation; I ask that the gentlemen to recall I've placed my views and comments on the blog. "Your stage". And, please, to no longer use my phone number again. I thanked him.

(Invasion of privacy, {willing to over look.})

Hopefully he didn't take it too personally, its not, really.



Again I personally thank you, for the immediate reply.

It shows you really appreciate the efforts, quality and standard of your endeavors. I hope that my comments are useful as they are equally accompanied by the truth. I will not defame your efforts; they are whole hearted and deserve to be equally as tasty.

Enjoy the prospects. ;)

Dear Anonymous,

There is a line between constructive criticism and plain rudeness.. Your email lacked any sense of grace or articulacy, your language was appalling and should not have been posted in the first..

Next time you have the "MUNCHies", I suggest KFC..

Dear Anonymous,
Oh my ... I have read complaints targeted at restaurants etc. but wow this one seems ravaged with a lot more than a bad experience (underlying issues ???) “Street cats” “pigeons” and “rubber fries” etc. It's not a complaint it's hate mail and reads very, very scary.
You said they tried to call which you find is an infringement on your privacy! How appropriate!!! So you insult to your hearts content then if they attempt to rectify the situation you can’t handle it and take it to another personal level – it infringes on your privacy? Your public insults of an establishment whose dedication and passion for food and what they do with it is downright loathsome. You have moreover cleverly managed to put them in a no-win situation. By making it clear that you do not want to hear back from them you have made your claims but have not allowed them the same. There is no doubt from your style that had they not replied you would have used that as the basis for you follow up argument! Isn't it clear that they are merely very attentive to what their customers have to say?
You claim not to degrade yet you have degraded your credibility and as result what you have written translates into rudeness and nothing more. Where are your manners? I believe there is one side that has made a big mistake in this instance – MUNCH you lose for having given this person the time of day! Delete it and keep up the passion!
P.S. I tried the mushroom Pizza last night, we loved it!
