Carter's Brunch at Pyramids Wafi

Hello all of you out there,

I got the chance to review one of the most established restaurant/bar in the city. If you lived in Dubai, its name carved into your brain... Its theme was inspired originally from the bar Raffles Hotel in Singapore (which you should see the original bar when you get a chance to visit)...

Thanks to Paz Marketing and extremely helpful Kristie for arranging to have me the restaurant review on friday.

I have to say that I didn't want to post this entry due to many reasons. I must say that this is not my writing strategy to lower your expectations from the beginning of article so you will end up not going there. Also, this is my first restaurant review so I didn’t want to start all negative!!! Allow me how my lunch went there

Carter's restaurant bar merges with 2 other restaurants (Thai Chi and Medzo) for brunch on fridays. After my arrival to the restaurant, I was escorted to my table with friendly staff. I wasn't planning to drink so I just asked for a coffee for drinks. A few minutes later, I head to buffet area to check out the options. Breakfast options are fairly good. Eggs, baked beans,  Pork sausage, and steamed mushroom. If you're cautious in your pork selection, you would know the difference between pork sausages from Europe (either English, Spanish or German which are mostly sold in the supermarket) or Asia (Philippines is the only exporter to the region). For me, I prefer the meat filled spicy sausages to small, sweet and less meat more other parts of animal limbs filled sausages. Hence, I didn't touch the sausages.

Then, headed towards to roast beef, cold cuts, and omelette station. Cold cuts are cold cuts! They're cold! You never know whether they're fresh or a day old. They can last in the air conditioned room all day. Beef roasted ribeye was overcooked. That was a bit of disappointment. Then I took a slice of honey roasted ham and surprisingly that was well cooked and moist. I also asked the chef to prepare an omelette. I think that was my favourite among all since I saw it was cooked in front of me other than eating things probably sat and heating for brunch. I am also aware that in F&B business that a day old food doesn't go waste. ;)

I wanted to save space for other restaurants' options so I kept away from cheese selection.

Then I head to Thai Chi to try out some of their options. I must say that Thai Chi has a sentimental value for me as it was the first thai food I had 8 years ago when I came to Dubai. Like many things, I am loyal to my restaurants. I assume because of brunch, most the food selection at the restaurant was cold and undercooked. I put some fried rice, green curry, papaya salad and sweet and sour chicken into my plate and walked back to my table. The papaya salad was ok but had a funny earthy after taste. The rest wasn't so great. 

Desert selection was grim and sad. I had a bite from 2 different desert selection and didn't want any more!

My second drink during my brunch was a Bloody Mary! Yes, I like my Bloody Mary! I love my tomato juice. Sometimes, after preparing a virgin one, I end up adding vodka! and yes, i enjoyed sipping Bloody Mary at the Carter's!

It seems it is an old staple to Dubai with its expat loyalty. I am really sorry for saying so many negative things but I want this review to be your wake up call for bringing your A-Game to the industry! Maybe the interior is 10 years old but your food quality shouldn't be in the same era! it's 2016!!! I want to highlight this! The lack of quality in the food is failing the staff's good service. No one came to Dubai to work in a bad places. We all left our home and family to do the best we can capable of with the a team aims to strive the best!
