You wonder why the Japanese decor is used in a place that has a signboard above its entrance,that promises you, yong tau foo.When you see the steamboats on each table which are actually portable cookers operating on electricity to save gas,you end up more confused.
You look through their menu and the first thing that hits you is their $388 set ?
WHAT?For this lousy icky place that needs a good scrub and spring cleaning?OUTRAGEOUS !
So you ignore it and try to find something cheaper.
Your order comes and you take a sip of the soup.This is nothing remotely Malaysian.The taste is completely alien.
Their soup stock tastes nice and creamy because they add raw eggs just before serving.
Risky if you ask me what with so many bacterium and germs present in undercooked eggs.
The worst thing about this place is the prices you see on the menu will not be reflected in your bill.
So if you order a cheap noodle dish that is listed as $12 they will add on another $2.50 for the noodle.Yea,a no brainer!
Some might interpret this as blatant cheating.Much like going to the hypermart,seeing one price on the shelf,going home and finding you paid $2 more for it.
Same goes for this restaurant,the staff will always find something extra to add on or even make 'mistakes' which they hope you will forget.
I really don't know why.Either they are in cahoots with the boss or its on the boss' order or the cashier cum order taker is sick in the head.
On top of all that,their practically non existent yong tau foo version, is totally different from anything you have tried.
Ordering food here is highly restrictive and stiffling as a communists ideology,as their reputed fresh "saito" fishpaste mixed with soft chinese celery is tightly controlled and they won't allow you to order too much at one time but offer you pathetic morsels,the size of a fat fifty cent coin(the secret tactic to making you hanker for more).
Some will go for the chicken wantan mee which at $5.50 is considered real value for money what with a ton of mushrooms,veg and chicken meat,but the flossed meat is so dry and hard it is very easy to choke on.
Not recommended for old persons and young kids!
Like I said before,the final bill will be a shocker and a whopper especially if you had done your math earlier running the total with the menu as a reference.
But let's just say,you are entertaining,you will probably not want to raise the issue.Just how is one supposed to 'bite' them,without embarassing your guests?So you simmer in anger on slow boil,leaving a trail of steam flowing from your ears,as you make your way towards the exit.
Somehow I think they were banking on this to happen.Obviously the bottomline is profit and you are the sucktomer,even if they impressed you initially with the generous helpings.
