I eat out most of the time, almost everyday and I very rarely have issues dining out. I don't usually complain if there is a delay in the food order coming out of the kitchen or something does not come out the way I ordered it and I would never cause a fuss unless absolutely necessary.
Last week, we had a really early dinner at Chicken Rice Corner @ Tropicana City Mall.
The pictures on the menu made my mouth watery and I ordered the Roasted Chicken Rice Set.
This is the Roasted Chicken Rice Set as advertised.
And this was what I got! 
As you can see, the portion size was less than half of what was pictured! I was like, "Huh? The chicken looked as if it had been smashed!" Now picture it 50% smaller. Would you be a happy customer?
Yes, I was livid.
If you provide pictures of your dishes then they should be served as to what it is portrayed in the menu. Don't make false claims on the menu about portion sizes! If you want to reduce the size of the portions, decrease the price! 
I didn't take out my anger on the waiters. Sure, the waiters work at the same establishment and may represent the food too, but they didn't cook the meal. It's pretty easy to lay into a waiter. It's also not a nice thing to do.
I already ate here, so it's almost too late. But it's never too late to not come back!!!
Anyway, I will send the restaurant an email and let's see what the response is.

Hi Mon! 8-)
The menu looks good
Quite common for this to happen to have lesser than advertised. :'(
Definitely will be a marketing strategy if the other way round...
If you got the chance can try Singapore Chicken Rice too! :)
Olla Mon.
Wahhh.. teruk betul. Menu nampak sungguh menyelerakan. Realiti = Hidangan Makanan yang sungguh Tak Bermaya. Makanan itu Sungguh Sedut (The Food is Suck!)
It feels like watching a movie hoping for a good time based on preview but turns out to be a bad one.
No tomatoes. Hey Mon, maybe since you like to eat out, you should make a new blog about makan-makan call "BelacanBusuk.com" much like "RottenTomatoes.com" Hehe.
Sabar Ye Mon, Happy Weekend
i'd be very pissed off when things like that happened. false advertising will only turn customers away and give the business a bad reputation.
everything seems to be downsizing but that size of serving should be placed on their appetizer size menus lol.... anyways I named your blog as one of Beautiful Blogger Award. I bet you already have few awards.. ;)
Oh...come on. They are just trying to help you lose some weight. Be positive about it... =-O

awwww... thanks so much for the Beautiful Blogger Award, Jheriz! u are so sweet! :* :* :*
losing weight is a different story. being positive is yet another story. this is robbing innocent customers in a broad day light and no one wants to be cheated. I'm sure u don't want to be part of it too *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*
If I want to lose some weight, I won't order chicken rice. I need to gain weight...
OMG!! What you get and what is depicted on the menu is so different!!!
I will also complain like that!! So horrible! Never go back there again!
Yes I'm most interested to see what's their response! Do get back to me on that! : )
ya lor Foong!! >:o >:o >:o
yeah we won't eat there again!
no response yet Foong! *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*
the rules of marketing....hahahahaha....the restaurant scam....
