Was something wrong with the container, I asked, and he said no but it was at room temperature whereas the bottled water was in the cooler. That's why, finishing with a smile, we keep the dispenser unplugged (so it doesn't serve cold water).After this, I couldn't help but notice the size of their serving portion. Rice is charged by the cup -- like in many other restaurants in the Philippines -- and the cup they were using was the smallest I've ever seen, hahaha. It wasn't coffee-cup sized, it was teacup-sized. What a cheapskate the owner of this restaurant is.What a shame, the dishes I tasted seemed alright, but now I wonder how much cost-cutting influenced their processes. Did they get fresh fish or skimp on quality by buying days-old frozen fish?
