It is Expensive compared to Nasi Kandar.
One small piece of beef rendang is $2.50.In Nasi Kandar outlets it's only $1.50.
Nowadays they sometimes remain open till 8pm(on the rare occasion till 10pm) cos they cannot finish selling due to less customers cos of pricing.
Be prepared to fork out $30 for 3 pax to eat...........
ONE medium sized fried onion topped ikan Cencaru sumbat sambal,2 fried chicken,2 beef rendang,1 brinjal,some ulam n 2 bergedil.
If you follow the prices stated on the menu and do a simple math it just doesn't add up.
Reason being after you self serve and scoop your own dishes,they will ask you to sit down and then simply overcharge cos only a quarter of the way into your meal,will they look at your plate and start making guesses.
No you won't find them turning over your plate to see if you have stashed anything.They will presume you did and charge you according to their whims and fancies.How come they dare to do this?I will reveal further down.
However most of their customers hardly argue over the price.
Beggars can't be choosers.
They simply hold back and swallow this overpriced crap.
Don't think the fat short lady isn't stuck up.The whole lot of them are.It's only when they have less customers for the day(lunchtime is the peak,by dinner which is around 5/6 they start panicking)where a ton of dishes still line the shelves that you will see this ugly side of them.The fattie will start a lecture on the economics of their business and who is gonna pay for them and do you think it is easy to make a profit/maintain her business/keep her staff/buy the ingredients/pay the suppliers and what are they gonna do if they don't sell all their dishes bla bla bla bla.Gimme a break.
What do they think we customers are by acting as if we should take their crap lying down and help them pay for their gamble of over anticipating customer turnout?
So in short they dare to simply overcharge because it is like saving for a rainy day where customer turnout is lower.
We their customers owe them that and don't you forget this.
It's popular cos only 2 or 3 stalls at the most are selling this on Penang island.
(everytime someone tried to set up a new Minang/Padang/Sumatran stall from Tg Tokong to Bukit Jambul it failed miserably don't know why)
unlike if you were to travel to Perak/KL/Selangor/N.Sembilan where there are countless Minang stalls of the same standard as this n much cheaper.
Taukay soh selling drinks is extremely rude.
always frowning and with no manners obssessed with keeping tabs on her various price signs and where did you put the spoons offensive so unlike her friendly and easy going son.
If you have the habit of taking out your spoon from your cup and leaving it on your table,this highly irritable person will push with her hands through your table to retrieve it cos she thinks everybody is a spoon thief or will curtly ask you(like she were accusing you) where you put the damned spoon.
She likes to chuck,fiddle or fling the price sign and won't leave you alone till the darned drinks are paid.
Then after you have paid you still won't be rid of her cos she is keeping a hawk eye on her ''PAID" sign seeing that everybody is a suspected sign thief too.
If you dare move it out of the way she will interrogate you like a child or again push through your table to plonk the darned sign where she can see it.
Her bloody walls are so bloody plastered with her bloody decorated children it makes me wonder why she treats her nice and considerate but undecorated son like a piece of shit while the decorated rest are MIA(his picture is not up there by the way)
*forgive my rudeness but she so bloody hell deserves this cos this little drama repeats itself each visit without fail.No one in their right mind would stop by her shop for a drink if not for the we-owe-them-a-living Nasi Padang stall.
