Did you fall for this today? Did you rush there as soon as you could ?It didn't only make the newspapers,radio stations apparently also helped blow their trumpet for them. If you are guilty, please take a conical hat and stand in the far corner.
No one has ever heard of them before today.
Ok, I'll be more reasonable. I mean we knew that the kopitiam existed , just that we ALSO KNOW that nothing within a few hundred metres radius of that area can be considered delicious with the exception of one ckt stall and one cheap nasi lemak bungkus seller .
But because of some genius publicity gimmick (which worked ! ) lots of blind sheep not wanting to miss out on "The Last Bowl for the Last Time" bowl of hokkien mee stupidly flocked here today.
Veteran hokkien mee connoiseurs disbelievingly rolled their eyes upwards in exasperation,smacked their foreheads before clutching their stomachs laughing so hard till their bellies ached,upon hearing tales of extremely desperate measures adopted by 'sucktomers'
By 3pm (when the dust has settled) if you dared breathe a word about the "ai kee New York liao" hokkien mee seller, you would have been chastised with a really loud "mana oo ho liao ??"
A sellout on the last day of its existence to sponsor the husband and wife's trip to NY city in style. At the rate crazy people poured in, I am sure they could now upgrade to First Class because they apparently sold out by 11.30pm. So clever.
If the general consensus before was borhochiak, today the most asked question was " why on earth did you go ?" because the rumour was that his business was on par with where the current seventh month visitors come from .
Blame it on impulsively naive reporting ( or bribed or wicked depending on how you looked at it) if you ate there and were made a resident laughing stock of by better informed gourmands.
A most memorable feat in which the stallowners can proudly brag on how they went out with a Bang ! But if I were them, I'd stay hush hush....because what they really managed to do was accumulate a lot of NEW....CONFUSED....ANGRY.... customers today,who drew two fingers to blast their brains out for being so incredibly guillible.
