| - I decided to take my (visiting) Mom to have a taste of home, and enjoy what I used to enjoy, some good Filipino cuisine specifically at LJ's Pub. I actually figured the place to be declining in business since it was anticipated to be busy based on the time I visited, not a soul in the house.
8 weeks ago, I have decided to make a change in my lifestyle and become a Vegan. I have enjoyed many of my favorite dishes such as Sinigang and create it into a Vegan way - nothing animal based, no patis, nothing. Since I can do it at home, they should be able to. And while I did inquire first, I was also told they were able to. I clarified, and clarified, and clarified, that it can be done, but the charges would remain the same - NO BIG DEAL FOR ME. The server even asked if I had any allergies, I replied with No, but that I have since changed my eating lifestyle. They would benefit from this actually, but keeping the charges the same. While my meal came, it smelled so wonderful, my mom enjoyed her meal, as did I.
I became VERY livid when I was sipping thru my broth after having enjoyed all the veggies from the deep bowl, only to find that there were 3 beef chunks at the bottom of my bowl.
This made my very angry and upset. I was lied to and felt so deceived. I thought to myself, why would the server bother to ask if I was allergic to any meats, and what if I really was. They still may have served me beef anyway.
Example, if I ordered pancit and mentioned that I was allergic to patis (fish sauce) I feel as though, the cooks would add it in anyway.
One thing's for sure, I'm never going back. There isn't a single most deceiving restaurant like LJ's. What a shame that I have to give a star to proceed, should be half a star.
