MY PET PEEVE:
Indiscrimate Pricing of Food by Makcik Makcik and Kakak Kakak Jualan
Sometime, i wonder how these pple yg jual makanan sleep at nite. My office is in somerset. so there is one kedai malayu selling rice, soto, mee rebus etc.. at Emerald food court. I dun know whether the lady dun like my face or she is just siow... $1 for one bergedil? Put so much chilli in mee soto until i cannot eat? $1 for one epok epok (mediun size ones, the size u get at jemputan kahwin). wait until u buy rice... you can buy the same combination on diff days and the price will be different.. why? she follow stock market is it???
And u know, i like to eat soto ayam, so if i want to eat it everyday pun bole kan.. sometimes when i order, this kakak actually give me a LOOK u know, macam i so sengkek la.. makan tu aje...sigh. thats why kalau i mintak bergedil, she quickly take the opportunity to overcharge me. charge $1 for bergedil. $1.50 for one fried chicken wing!! I might as well buy fruits, healthier choice.
one more stall at the basement of my building. Indonesian chinese owned, but got halal cert, cooks all malay.. the bibik there also will charge u thru the roof. I ever see she charge an ang moh a plate of rich with chicken, sayur and tahu for $9 can u believe it??? And the food so so oily.
Other than these two stores for malay food, i can have mac d, burger king, long johnn silver, kfc for lunch.. tapi tak kan selalu selau nak makan these kind of food.
So on days that my mom cook i will ta pao lunch. But it also depends la, sometimes i go to client's place from home.. so tak nak la bawak banyak banyak barang..
there was a very good foostall at starhub buidling food court called Qiara. But that food court closed to make way for the Kaplan APMI school
.. the stall moved to meridien hotel foodcourt. but since not good patronage, altho I will walk there at least once a week, recently da tukar owner.
Thumbs up for Qiara. Good food. Good Variety. I really dun mind paying the price if the food is good(acceptable). I do understand the exorbitant rental that they stallholders have to pay.
But please jangan la sampai these kedai melayu think org takde choice they want to take advantage pulak.
