'I' Before 'E' Except After 'C': Ad vs. Actual

Ad vs. Actual
Remind me never to be swayed solely by an ad again. I recently tried Dimsum and Dumplings' Tea Bar solely because of the huge poster they had of their new dumpling, "Spring Jewel". You may view the actual ad here.

Well, here is the actual meal that they brought me.
While the dumplings in the ad looked properly steamed and still moist, the actual ones looked deep fried and dry. They tasted as bad as they looked. You could barely taste the meat (extenders? overly seasoned?) By the way, it's called "Spring Jewel" because it's pork dumplings with almond in the middle.

I also ordered their fish rice topping -

it certainly looks much better. Taste was so-so. Nothing I would come back for. Especially for P199 --- I feel my money would have bought me a better lunch than what I had that day.
