Stupid Kopitiam
Wednesday, March 14, 2007
I am boycotting the stupid duck rice store in my school. Previously they sold this Happy Duck Rice Set meal that has duck rice, braised peanuts, 1/2 a '
TauGua' and 1/2 an egg. This sold for $4 and after student's discount it became $3.20 which is not a bad price and so I eat it from time to time.
Today however, when I ordered the same duck rice, it came without the peanuts,
taugua and egg. Assuming that he had made a mistake, I clarified my order, "Uncle, I wanted the set meal." To which he replied that they no longer served the set meal. Alright, fair enough and so I asked, "Oh, then how much is this?"
$3.00

What the
PHUCK?! You reduce the side dishes by so much and you only charge $0.20 cheaper? What the hell is wrong with you!!
KNNBCCB. The worse thing is the duck meat he served wasn't even enough to finish the rice with! Eh, something is
seriously wrong with the stallholders in
SMU. Do they think its justified for them to charge high prices simply because they operate in a
foodcourt? The amount of duck meat I got was barely even 3/4 of what I would
normally get if I paid $2 for a packet that I buy from
Bedok.
The chicken rice store also owned by one joker. He actually had the freaking cheek to complain to the newspapers that his business in
SMU is terrible and complain that the students don't buy from him enough.
Erm, maybe he should eat some of this own chicken rice. I've never tasted such crappy chicken rice before and definitely not at the price he's asking. So I have also boycotted the chicken rice store.
The stupid
Indian store also another comedian. Do you know I get
diarrhea every time I eat their Briyani? The CaiFan is the most decent but even then the prices force me to eat two vegetables and one meat so that I can keep the price at $3.20. Seriously! Do I
look like a person who eats
TWO vegetables in a given meal? No! I have 2 meats, rice and some carbo in the form of potatoes. Any vegetables I happen to eat should happen to come with any of the meats. And even then, the rice is the only damn thing that is hot. Every thing else is cold- like leftover food left to sit in the air-conditioned dining room for 2 hours- cold.
I seriously hate eating in school, there are so little stalls have provide some value for money and even then only some items in the menu satisfy the criteria. So what happens to me? I'm glad to report that I'm losing weight and this is probably the only good thing coming out of the shitty food in my school.
PS: Do you know that when you buy drinks in the SMU Kopitiam, the more you buy at one shot the more expensive it becomes because the round off the percentage discount. So if you buy 1 drink its $1. 2 drinks = $2.10, 4 drinks = $4.20. I think that that's just plain stupid. I sincerely hope they the management will be punished in hell for all this nonsense.
