Manhattan Fish Market @ Lower Ground Floor of Queensbay Mall

Recently, I saw on Groupon website that Manhattan Fish Market was offering few deals for its outlets. I've seen those deals in the past before, however, I was a bit reluctant to try on it. So, I missed the chance!
But this time, I was craving for the spaghetti Aglio Olio at other restaurants after reading on other review sites.
At around the same time, I happened to see this deal on the Groupon website, and I was thinking to myself, since I do not need to make bookings for this, why not give it a shot then?! And so I went to purchase 2 vouchers after much thought at RM14.90/voucher.

Part of the voucher

Sometimes I think, deals like this are never really a good deal! Why is that so?
Reasons:
1. Usually you may need to make a booking few days in advance. <<<(I seriously hate bookings as at times, it's hard to even make your calls get through to the particular outlet.)
   (I would prefer to just walk in whenever I like)
2. The voucher has an expiration date.
   (Sometimes at a very last minute, one may not be free. If you happened to cancel it last minute, I'm not  
   sure about the implication though.)
3. The location where you may need to claim the deal is not nearby, which means it's at a place further than       you usually go.
4.Sometimes, you can only claim the voucher on ONLY weekdays or maybe and on weekends. Depends  
   on the deal.

At first, I wasn't sure if it will be a good deal though. Well, I went on a weekday. No bookings made. Just that maybe you gotta fight with other customers as one of their early birds la. wtf~ LOL~

I handed over the printed vouchers and waited for the meals to be served. Then, we ordered drinks (paid at the end of ours meals, not included in the deal).
We were first served the starter, salad vege placed in a small recyclable or paper bowl (I think it's a shame to be placed on paper bowls, probably it would be easier for the management. Just throw it away and don't need to wash additional bowlets. haha~) and it was nothing to shout about. No pictures for that.
Then, came the Spicy Seafood Olio in a proper porcelain/ceramic plate. IMO, the food looked as if it was as illustrated on the voucher.

I saw on the menu, original price for this spaghetti. But not sure if I happened to see if added an additional RM3, you'll get the salad vege and drinks.

 All in all, I think it's worth a try. I'm not sure if it was a good deal though. But still, worth a try as the food served was as illustrated from the voucher picture or as bargained (that's the most crucial or important)! =)
I paid an additional RM15 for two glasses of iced tea (lemon & peach).

There was a downside, I saw a couple of flies or insects flying nearby us at our table. I wonder if the management could do something to prevent things like that from occurring again?? It's not hygienic in a long run and moreover, it's at inside a shopping mall.

So, what do you think? Or have you gotten yourself a similar deal too? ;-)
