The apron wearing,order taker of this Chu Char,seems to be the brother from another mother of the many-things-wrong 11pm Ikan Bakar Diva on the other side of this rickety corner makan shop.
A real favourite amongst Japanese expatriates,his obedient subjects all know how to kowtow to his strange eccentric order system.
Song River Cafe has been off and on featured here,but I am now focusing on this fella cos he's getting a bit too over the top lately.
The food is nothing really wonderful,really,its normal ajinomoto laden,light,not so oily with a tendency to be served burnt when the chef gets excited.
Honestly I really have no inkling what attracts those Japs here except for the fact that he's way cheaper than Bali Hai down the road.
Food is OK,but the Tau K .....is OTC.
Otak Tak Centre.
For the uninitiated,here are His Lordships ground rules before thou darest maketh thy order
Now should you break any of the above rules,thou will be sentenced to a minimum of half and hour or more of waiting like a fool just to place your order or pay the bill,all the while ignored like a badly behaved toddler by the nutcase who is an expert at looking extremely busy even when he's not.
The reward for your understanding?
His twinkling naughty eyes that comes to a near flirtatious wink as he jots down your order like a mischievous elf.

- Do not make eye contact with him,he will come to your table to take your order.Or so he will have you believe.
- Do not stand next to the entrance of the kitchen area next to the fridge in your attempt to make your order.Sit down and he will come to you.
- After you finish your meal,DO NOT wave your hand at him to signal him to come to your table in order to settle your bill.Again,another round of waiting for him as if he were the oldest virgin bridegroom on his umpteenth unconsumated wedding night on the island.
- If he tells you to wait 45 minutes and you back out,not only will he remember you for life,he will also bitch about your impatience to the other diners once you are gone
