Before I start responding to this comment, I really want to show my appreciation for any comments left on my blog, I welcome improvements (if I find them applicable).
Here is my response to the valuable comment:
Firstly, to the all Anonymous who are leaving comments but do not have an account, I suggest that you sign off with your name so that I can address you properly. I guess we had learned how to write letters during our school days, so apply the techniques. Otherwise, I have to address you Z.
So Z, please allow me to break up your sentences so that I can respond accordingly in the right order.
"You should have tried their other dishes."
I think I can choose what I want to eat because I was a paying customer? So no offense.
"Sorry but honestly, you ordered the wrong stuff."
There should only be 2 kind of 'stuff' in a restaurant (or probably anywhere): good 'stuff', bad 'stuff'. If there is wrong 'stuff' on the menu, then I guess Jamie Oliver has to readjust his menu..oh no..is that what you meant, Z?
"They have quite a good steak (the prime rib), and their Tiramisu is so good."
Noted on the good steak and Tiramisu suggested. Appreciate that.
"Besides, Tiramisu is more Italian than a lemon meringue pie, and you should have ordered that since it's an Italian restaurant .. "
Sorry Z, but I cannot understand your English as 'more Italian' in terms of food. Like Hokkien Mee 'more hokkien' than Char Kway Teow? Or is this Maths?
I guess if it is an Italian restaurant and it is providing 'less Italian' food, then I assume that the chefs have the confidence to prepare those dishes to be as delicious as the 'more Italian' ones.
So, why do I HAVE to order Tiramisu again?
"you just don't sound like you actually know Jamie Oliver well. "
Hmm...Z, why do I have to know him well to try his food?
"And yes, a lemon meringue pie is THAT sour. -_- (same with Cedele). "
Thanks for sharing about your taste bud too! We can be best friends!
"Next time, ask the waiter/waitress for their recommendations."
Z, I don't usually do that.
Reasons being my objective of this blog is to provide unbiased review as a reference to readers and readers have the rights to read other contributors' reviews if they have doubts, before they step into the restaurant with some expectations. I'm not a paid blogger to only focus on all the good and put icing on the cake.
If I ask the restaurant what the recommended dishes are, then those dishes are usually their best ones and nobody will ever find the room for improvement. Then why don't they just sell mainly those that they recommend?
Remember, improvement is good, only if you are willing to be improved.
I guess you must be a loyal fan of Jamie Oliver, I respect that. I highly recommend you read a book called "You can heal your life" by Louise Hay. You can get it from Kinokuniya or borrow from a nearest library. It may be able to help you to display your loyalty to your idol in a more effective way.

Seriously?! It is a must to order tiramisu just because we are dining in a italian restaurant because its more "italian"? That person sounds like he or she knows Jamie Oliver well (since he or she said u don't), maybe that person should feedback to him that there's a identity crisis in his restaurant as lemon meringue pie is not italian it should not be on their menu. They should not have a menu then, make it a fixed set for every diner, just like omakase in japanese restaurants. Appetiser must be beef carpaccio, main must be a pasta, followed by osso buco, end with tiramisu so it will complete a italian dining experience. Only 1 sentence for this person: "does it bothers u about what others order and ingest??"
