French fries toast, anyone?

Whenever talk bout food arr... you guys damn shiok. Sure got plenty of comments...hahahaha... So, let's talk bout food. But this time round, something different, something to share.


Anyone know what is this???





Butter. Yes. Not french fries. How pathetic this is!!! I almost got a shock of my life when i peel off the bread to reveal two pathetic french fries looking butter!!!!




When we were back in USJ over the weekend, we decided to enjoy an afternoon tea and therefore, headed to one of the many kopitiams mushrooming in Taipan. Instead of having a waiter taking our orders like the kopitiams of good olde days, we have to fill in our own orders for the modern ones.




After scanning the menu, we decided to have 2 glasses of 'Cham' (coffee + tea) and a single kaya butter toast (pic as above). We tick our orders in the order form on the table and wave for a waiter to confirm our orders. We were waving and waving for a good 2 minutes and no one notice us (or some saw, but pretend not to see). There were more than enough waiters/waitresses as the crowd were not many, yet... nobody saw us. We are not petite and we are both very tall and have long legs and hands.. still nobody saw our long waving hands. For a moment, I thought we were dead. No one can see us.




After waving for 2 minutes, I got fed up, took the order form, walk right up to a waitress, and shaft it into her hand and walked back to our table. Well, we could just walk out of the kopitiam but I wanted to see how is their response so that I can blog about it later on... the waitress just took my order form, no confirmation or whatsoever. Unbelievable.




Our toast with the pathetic french fries looking butter came first. By time we finished our toast, our 'cham' is still no where in sight. Trust me, we ate our toast really really slow... even took photo of it. We waited patiently... give them a chance... maybe they are too busy....give them some EXTRA time to perfect our 'cham'.



(3 fella behind counter making drinks, 3 fella outside the counter serving. There are many more of them all over the place)






About 10 minutes later, our 'cham' still no where in sight despite 2 reminders. This is ridiculous. We just marched up to the cashier, paid for our stupid toast and left. They are not even bothered when we said we never get our 'cham'. They just removed the 'cham' and billed us only for the toast. Talking about customer service!



I missed the good old days kopitiam. I missed my hometown's kopitiam!!! Where butter will look like butter and not like french fries!!! NiaSeng....!
