I had the "hokkien char" at Taman Paramount, so called the famous one in PJ last week, but to my disappointment, the Hokkien noddle taste horrible, the standard has dropped  :thumbsdown: I went there with high expectation, but disappointment also high...

So, this shop is out of my list  :HammerHead:

where in PJ is this one? The best one Hokkien Noodle IMHO is at Ah Wa near Jalan 222 (next to Shell). The OnS Hokkien Noodle changed guy already.

Yeah, that's O&S, the guy moved already, so it's not the same guy anymore.

You should try Ah Wa near the Shell. It's 5 mins drive from there.

I found a link: http://christinelifeslikethis.blogspot.com/2010/01/ahwa-hokkien-mee-off-jalan-222-pj.html

Good luck :)

Sorry to say this but i swore to myself never going to Ah Wa ever again. :-\

The entire coffee shop is really overpriced IMO.

Story goes like this, one weekend i was there with Chris.

Maybe prices have gone up but i feel the prices of even the stall there is expensive for PJ standards.

1- Simple fruit rojak small size, RM6 or was it RM7?
2- Grilled stingray Chris went and asked the price for a bloody small piece rm25 where other places max charge rm15-rm18.

Now comes the worst, i ordered 1pax portion for hokkien mee and canton "yin yong".
Canton fried came less than 5mins which was weird since other tables food still not arrive and we came latest.
Never mind but it looks to be just flat noodle and no bee hon inside. Which means they gave me wrong order, i send it back.
Fella came back saying yes that is yin yong, i said where is the bee hon trying to dig for it....KNS there was like ONE spoon max of bee hon inside only and that fella dare to insist that is ying yong !!!
Chris figured they have "leftovers" from a previous batch and gave that to us. Food wasnt hot also, KNS Chris said just leave it.

The portion even a kid cant get full!

Then comes the hokkien mee after a long time, when it came, guess what, its 2 person portion instead of the 1pax i ordered, we left it cause we hungry.

Only good thing that came out of this was the hokkien mee was good but the so called yin yong was pedestrian.

I CANNOT stand service and to me dishonesty of the stall like this.

Sorry i can still get good hokkien mee elsewhere. Aint going back to Ah Wa anymore unless i dont have to pay for it.

Sorry to go on like this....Chris knows how pissed i was then :P

@takashi78:

*Comforts. I know how you'd feel. I'm especially particular about customer service, and I'd do the same if I were treated like that too. Touch wood I haven't been treated like that, so hopefully it stays that way, hehe. I admit they're quite expensive nowadays, which is why I go there less nowadays. I like the taufoo bakar (though nothing special), hehe.

In the end, the best way to protest bad food/customer service is with our wallets, and we should do just that :)

Its a coffee shop, i aint wearing my Armani and Hermes shoes and cashmere tshirt there LOL.

The one i cant stand is them giving us the "leftovers" and INSIST that its what we ordered but it only had 5% bee hon instead of at least half half like it should be.

The corner there? Next to the petrol station? I heard about it, and was in the area, but I ended up at McD instead, haha. I like the Kepala Ikan Cheras nearby, though...the mutton there is nice :)

Agreed. I recently had a bad experience at the SS14 fried chicken rice. The owner of the stall itself was nice, but the uncle selling the drinks wasn't happy that I didn't order a drink and asked him to wipe the table for me (the previous person's plate etc was still there). It's not like I didn't buy anything also, but he wasn't happy, then later I could see him complaining to another staff, and when I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the table he was standing next to and said "this table not clean meh?" and a lot of other nonesense in a very confrontational way. The thing is that the table he was at was occupied when I was looking for a table to sit at, lol. After that he walked away and continued glaring at me, ahhaa. Malaysia FTW.

If you dont like the place, just walk away, then the waiter or owner will come forward, then express yr dissatisfaction to them, let them know. I did that for sometime, and best part, sometime they dont bother at all, especially the mamak, after makan, ask the Boss to kira, they dont response, then we walk away  :Laughing_on_floor:
