After a recent adventure to the Chinese supermarket, we decided to spice up our dining experience with some accompaniments for our sui mai and prawn dumplings from "Good Food" (formerly known as Yummy Yums) - spoiler alert: it's neither good nor yummy. Our order of crispy duck, prawn toast, and special fried rice turned into a real-life episode of culinary chaos. The "special" fried rice was so underwhelming with its minimal meat offerings that sharing it felt like re-enacting the ration scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – I was Grandpa Joe...stuck with a few sad peas while the rest of the crew feasted on the tiny bits of meat and lacklustre rice. The prawn toast resembled a charcoal briquette, and even our dog passed on it with a look of disappointment. On to the Duck, I was looking forward to this the most. Unfortunately, this was the worst of the lot. If I could describe it, it looked like the poor duck had been at the centre of the blast zone of a nuclear bomb. If a fire broke out in the house, I could use it to break the windows. I don't know what the duck had done to deserve such a terrible afterlife but it definitely didn't deserve that. Luckily the kids didn't care, they were busy scoffing all the pancakes which to be fair, were probably the best part of the meal. I called "Not Good Food" and was greeted by what sounded like a child on the other end, she told me that I can go and collect another one. This defies the whole point of ordering in so I refused. I was told that they were very busy and they had no idea when they could bring another one. I complained about the service and they agreed to deliver as soon as they could. 20 minutes later, they called back to tell me that they won't be delivering it as they are too busy. Again, I complained, much to the disgust of my kids who couldn't believe I was kicking off over a duck. Obviously it wasn't a big deal for them as they had eaten all the pancakes and the crap rice, where I had had 6 peas and a slice of burnt prawn toast in the form of a hockey puck. I eventually demanded a refund to which they agreed to process...when they aren't busy. 3 hours later, we got the refund for the entire meal. Only fair as they completely ruined my evening. I have since joined the British Waterfowl Association which focuses on conservation, education and preservation of ducks. Standing up against the likes of Yummy Yums and their questionable duck treatment methods. Check out the attached evidence, and remember: steer clear of this establishment for some truly subpar food and service that's less reliable than a wobbly table leg.
