  I have no idea why this place rates so highly on Google. We have passed by Tia's many times after looking in and deciding that it did not look promising. Well, tonight we gave it a try on the basis of a friend's recommendation. Service was reasonably good. Atmosphere was terrible with poor air conditioning and non-existent ventilation. We found the prices of dishes to be oddly high. I understand charging $33.90 for a whole fried fish, but I do not think paying $17.50 for a smallish portion of sweet and sour pork is reasonable. Proper sweet and sour pork should NOT be coated in the same batter as the fish for fish and chips! It is just plain lazy - not to mention sneaky as the plate is then filled with huge bubbles of batter with small pieces of pork inside. This leaves little room for any vegetables, which the chef conveniently decided to place less of. The sauce lacked punch. Initially we thought it was not sour enough, but we decided in the end that it just tasted terrible. It's not difficult to make, people! I wonder if this is because the chef is no longer the owner. As South East Asians, we are very disappointed and will continue to give this place a miss. We will also warn our friends to avoid this sorry excuse for a cafe. There is cheaper, heartier and tastier South East Asian food in the CBD.
