I would like to commend Mr Kah Min for his excellent service. We had dinner at Great World with our toddler, he offered a booster seat as my girl outgrew the baby seat, and took initiative to provide plastic utensils for her. During the meal, my girl was unwell and vomited at her seat, Mr Kah Min was quick to come by with dry and wet tissue, and even offered warm water for her. He also went an extra mile to provide a spoon and asked us to test whether the water temperature is ok. Mr Kah Min served us with a smile throughout the entire meal! The dining experience was exceptional because of his attention to details and protectiveness. He also topped up our green tea very quickly whenever he noticed that it ran out. Thank you Mr Kah Min for your excellent service!
