It was disappointing and bad, both the food and the service. Overpriced, poorly cooked and rude service. At $17.90 the Crispy Pork Belly was overcooked, chewy and skin not crispy. There was an abundance of pig hair also still on the skin, not removed with a blowtorch as is the norm in all restaurants.

Our waiter insisted 'that is how Thai people like it' and said there was no skin, as it was pork belly. As a genuine foodie I know my cuts of meat and not only was the waiter rude, he didn't have basic food knowledge! Look up any recipe online for Thai Crispy Pork Belly (Moo Krawp in Thai) and clear as day, there is the pork skin with no hair and that skin is crispy.

Secondly we ordered the Red Curry with Roast Duck. The duck was overcooked, the curry very thin and for $18 there was more pineapple than duck.

Our waiter (who appeared to be the supervisor) couldn't have cared less about our experience. He was sarcastic and insisted we were wrong instead of just owning up to serving a bad dish and accepting our feedback, even when we showed him the pig hair! (btw I took a photo of the hair for my blog)

Save your money and don't ruin your night. I never had such rude restaurant service in my life. I guess Chedi doesn't care about serving bad food, but the customers surely do care!!!
