I have heard so many conplaints of the arrogance of the sellers/ stall hokders there and the the attitude of the workers .
They are king and we customers are like beggers begging them to sell us! Finally I experienced what everyone has been telling me .
Netizens’ comments
- Malay food is quite expensive, i normally buy rendang chicken drumstick + omette egg + sambal goreng = $6.50 at bus interchange canteen, i am OK with that, food is nice, chinese mixed food 1 meat + 2 vege = $3.50 to $3.80 at kopishop, the price expensive for malay food due to the ingredients like curry powder, tumeric powder n spices higher in cost
- But brother sedap kan.. sometimes u get more… just bad luck today u get not generous portion. Btw, these food are put at the drink stall. No more attitude workers handling. Just pick choose and pay.
- It is a hard work to do tbe begedil . Cook yourself then you can reshape your own master piece of begedil .
- Eat well . that’s price is normal $3.50 .
Malay food is like that’s .but I love it so much. Malay good sometimes I buy until $,$8.70
For I don’t care atles iam enjoying it so much.
