Last night I was having a dinner and my friend suggested to have some casual street hawker delight and so we went to the "tong sui kai" but perhaps it was really too early, 80% of them were either not setup or closed. The traffic also was terrible as it was nearby to the Sam Tet primary school.
So, we tried to locate another stalls and I suggested the Hainan village chicken rice. But we decide not do so as it was dinner times and I only could observe 2 tables were occupied. My theory was that if the food are good, at this moment, the restaurant should have at least 80% full. And so, my friend suggested the nearby "Bentong fish ball" as it was supposed to be good and famous. There are around 8 tables occupied and only 2 of them were not yet served with food. There were at least 8 - 10 staffs around. For being first time to the shop, I walked to the food preparatory personnel trying to order our food and asking where was a bowl so I could pick. But I was told to be seated as their staffs would come and serve. OK OK! And so I sat there waiting. A middle aged short harsh voiced lady approached to take the order of drink. Fine, I order a drink. It was already 5 minutes and at the serve of the drink, the same lady asked me to pay and I was already furious and replied why there was no staffs to take my order as I only saw them gathered at the food preparatory area and there were at least 8 of them. The lady replied some one would come. I looked at her and she was waiting for my payment. I ignored and said "get the money from me when someone take my order" And so she left us alone. Immediately I saw her taking order from another customer and picking up the dishes. I watched and overheard that she yelled "I already take order of two tables...."
On hearing this and without hesitate, I asked my friend to leave the restaurant and did not look back. In this world now, you are not the only one who sell this type of food and you have nothing too great and why I will need to have my money to you while I was not honour as customer at all. What a shame! This is CHINESE stall. It is a shameful old style of operation. Good Luck to you. Another shop on my blacklist.
