Rum Crumble!!!!
It was my beloved company's annual dinner last night....it goes without saying that it was a fabulous night. Once again, I give grace to God for presenting to me wonderful colleagues to learn from, to look up upon and to cherish.
After a wonderfully hefty and not so environmental friendly (i.e. the shark fin soup) meal, we adjourned to Rum Jungle. One word: CRUMBLE!!!
I had such high hopes of Rum Jungle being a hip happening and friendly place to chill. As we walked in, we chanced upon a recently vacated table...wow...lucky us. Before we can even take our sits and catch our breath, we were bombarded by SYT trying to solicit business. The two girls were so damn persistent...it made me feel like I was being hustled all around. That gave me a very VERY bad after taste of Rum Jungle.
In fact, things got worst.....another barmen hustler came up to us and argued that if we only wanted beer, we can't have the sits! We were so appalled by this display of greed for money. A few of my colleagues were ready to get the hell out of Rum Jungle. However, my boss managed to negotiate for two buckets of beer. We sat down in time to watch a performance right out of Phuket's once famous aqua show. It was a fusion of carabet and Kadazan dancing. It was quite a spectacular show.
Having said that, I vow to never go back to Rum Jungle because we were being hustled by the barmen who served us. Instead of two buckets, he brought three buckets and wanted to charge us for all three. We were so pissed and so ready to walk out. The hustler asshole cornered us by opening one bottle...leaving us with not much choice but to haggle for two buckets....he is not only an asshole, he was a MFSOB....
In the end, we won. Qantas girl didn't want beer. She opted for liquor. This is another story all together. She got her drink at the bar, gave RM50 for her RM18 drink. The bastard bartender told her that they don't have change. What was she suppose to do? Forfeit her change? The stupid bastard then scolded her when she complaint that it was not her fault that this business entity didn't have sufficient change. The asshole told her to wait until there is change! She stood there for a whole 15 bloody minutes!
Damn....this place sucks.....Rum Jungle....I hope you crumble!!!! Not sophisticated...not well run....too bloody greedy...
Recommendation: Don't bother going.
