I haven't been posting often lately. Sort of gotten fed up with all the eateries around my place. Gone are the places where you can get good food nowadays. I guess capitalism had creep into the art of serving good food nowadays. Capitalism in the form of marketing. Marketing the environment and ambience of the restaurant to be exact whilst serving mediore food at small portions. Haven't anyone noticed lately that most of the chinese food that come from humble beginings had been turned into a multi ringgit making enterprise? There is no more honor in serving good food just make your place look good and the rest will follow. Has the Malaysian Boleh spirit creep in to this industry as well? Never mind the surroundings if its next to the drain...I want my original char kuey teow done by the road side!!! At least it taste better.
Was at this place for dinner. Looked like they had a fare number of customers judging from the crowd. Anyway it was a typical "upgrade" form of chinese traditional servings that had gone thru a cosmetic change. Even the waitress there 'pushed' us to order more as the portions were small she admitted. The price we had to pay for the proprieter's expensive rental? Ah well, I seriously considering boycotting all these 'upgrade' and 'upclassed' mamak, kopitiams and traditional restaurants if these were to continue.
