Twinkle of Alexandra Road

Food 6.5/10- nothing special. Honestly, with Taiwanese joints, if you've tried one, you've tried them all.

Service 0/10- no greeting when we walked in, waited a good 20 minutes just for drinks and overall a 45 minute wait for three fairly straight forward dishes that could be prepared in a quarter of the time. No, the restaurant was not packed at the time; it's hard to imagine it ever being packed based on what I saw today.
We had to wait almost 5 minutes just for the server to grab us the bill--a pretty sure sign that she didn't really want to work for her tips.

To make it all worse, they did nothing about the order/overall cleanliness about their restaurant. The entire place is only slightly larger than the size of a Subway, and yet there were misplaced/out of place chairs everywhere, floors were not swept, and the servers (or server, rather, even though there were two of them on duty, you can never seem to find the other one when one is busy) just stood around not doing much.

Overall experience: 1/10. Some dumb hype restaurant having to do with Wrong Wroks/Brag Garden. Will definitely NOT visit again.
