actually hor, the FRENCH TOAST looks damn good...
maybe i'll go back just for the FRENCH TOAST? haha...
About the PIZZA HUT delivery - damn cock...where got cafe staff order pizza to eat...shouldn't they be eating the cafe's food?
unless they dun dare to eat their food...or the food is just too crappy for human consumption...
another thing i hate about the place is the service. The waiters looked damn lost, very blur & not friendly at all...
jo...hahaha...you just wanna find that chic right??? ok lah...i'll go back with you too...in case i feel like having pizza hut...we try ordering a super supreme next time ok? hahahaha.
ain't that place supposed to be famous? *ponder*
Hey ! I was at Hong Kong cafe over the weekend ! The baked rice with chicken (or something like that) is pretty yum. Just so you know, I can't make myself pay money to eat instant noodles at a cafe so I *never* order anything that's on the instant noodles menu.
But you know what's my fav ? The ba chor mee stall right *beside* it. It's the bestest of the bestest. So I'd go eat my ba chor mee and then head over to HKG Cafe to drink milk tea.
:)
lee...we felt that it's overhyped leh...nothing great about the food...tasteless, bland and diluted.
ene...hahaha...i actually suggested going to the ba chor mee first...but they all didn't wanna listen...so we sat at hkg cafe after our "splendid" meal, willing their would-be-customers to go to the ba chor mee place instead. hahaha.
haha this is so funny. especially the waiter part. you didnt make that up lar hor? :p
but seriously, heard that the cafe is famous!! is its menu something like the one at taka basement2?
Noooo...don't go to the Taka B2 one.
*start of rant*
The service is HORRIBLE and the food is even worst. The waiting staff ignored us even when we were the only ones waiting for a table.
They ignored us again when we wanted to order, only to grudgingly come over to bark "tell me the number ! not the item name!" at us.
They then took forever to give us serviettes when there were none at the table.
And ignored our attempts to pay for our meal at the end of it.
And I also noticed that every waiting staff there seemed to be really busy ignoring everyone as much as they could, so it wasn't only our table they didn't like.
Ok, rant over. I still like my ba chor mee.
ha ha the part about the Pizza Hut delivery is funny. ya boy, order super supreme from there next time. ha ha
ene, i agree Central cafe at Taka B2 is not great. i will not go back there again. food is not anything like the real HK stuff. and the ambience is very lousy. HK cafe along East Coast Road (Siglap?) is not bad like the fried beef kway teow, boluo bun etc. still, like you, i'd always opt for chai chee ba chor mee.
Sky and gang, why don't you guys eat at Siglap the next time? wide choice of restaurants and cuisines etc.
ps. i like the cheesecake from Zuko!
Damn it MOBY good job on the play -The story is so Joe, so Rod, and so MOBY!
Exactly the ever-skeptical JOE; the ever-unlistening ROD; the ever write-a-story-with-a-funny-twist MOBY.
Gota give it to JOE for his high selectiveness (despite it being Katong!); to ROD for his low criteria for good food (contrast to his gadgets); and MOBY for simply being the guy who always boost the ego of the friend who sits next to him.
Have a nice week leading up to XMAS. Seeking for permission to hang @ Lor K this weekend.
farewellwaltz...hmmm...i really don't have high hopes for the taka b2 stuff lah...
ene...you basically described what i felt at east coast road last night loh...quite bad lah...sigh...
graceyumummy....i would have been more than happy to go to siglap, but my friends were adament on going to this HKG place...i regret.
loe...wah lan eh...i was expecting you on sunday loh!!! knn, you have to go and entertain people and all loh...of course you're welcome lah...you better don't play me out again hor!!! and btw, who say i wanna boost joe's ego? he's got enough chics peeking at him what...muahahaha. =)
