I'm really hard-pressed to give this place either a 1-star or 2-star review, but here goes.
I heard about Madam Woo whilst on the water taxi with a bunch of Aussies who said that they were having dinner there. Due to the Asian sounding name, I thought that this would be a good place to visit, as I am a big fan of Asian cuisine. I decided to drop by here for a late lunch and give it a go.
I walked into the barren restaurant (keep in mind, it's about 5:15p) and looked around, not being noticed for at least five minutes. Once the hostess came from the back, she grabbed me a menu and let me pick a seat. Considering how nice it was, I chose to sit outside. The hostess raised the umbrella for me, which allowed me to slide on the bench into the shade if I were to get too hot.
Reviewing the menu, I was disappointed as there wasn't much to choose from in terms of what I'm used to at most Asian restaurants. Maybe I was picturing a Thai menu, with lots of items with vegetables, but this one was lacking. I ended up ordering the chicken satay with "pak choy" and stuck with my water.
When the dishes arrived, I was excited as the chicken satay looked good and they had the peanut sauce on the side, which is nice when you actually want to taste the chicken. I took a bite of the chicken, which had good seasoning on it. I dipped and rolled the chicken into the satay sauce, wondering if it would be really peanut-y, but I never found out, as what appeared to be a pubic hair was now wrapped around my chicken.
So, it ends up that I only ate the pak choy, which, for what it is, was not that bad. I brought my plates inside to the bartender, who, out of habit, asked how things were. I told him the pak choy was good, but I didn't really eat the chicken due to aforementioned incident. He removed the chicken from the bill and apologized, but being the bartender, didn't pursue it further (no pointing the hair out to the waitress, no calling out the chef, no cares really).
I've had hair in my food before, typically long and not my hair color, and the staff usually apologizes like mad. Head hair can accidentally end up in a dish. Nether-region hair, on the other hand, is completely unexpected, disgusting, and done intentionally.
