Jeff WangI am a believer that for all hot drinks , the cups need to be rinsed with hot water before pouring. This is the way to make HOT drink. What Koufu supervisor said once was impartial, heat loss along the piping, rinsing prevents cups absorb heat further. The coffeeshop knew it best, why didn't they do it? Rinsing also clean the cups, especially when the cutlery & utencil were left opened, sometimes overnight. Alternatively if one request for cup to be rinsed, kindly do it. It is a fair request, please not frowned upon it. I notice almost all Kopitiam, Koufu & Broadway, ChangCheng coffee stall don' t rinse cups with hot water beforehand. The hawkers coffee stalls do it thought. Why? I do not speculate the reason. I just want to do my part to maintain basic quality of food & drink, and not to be compromised by cutting corners.
Mr YangThis is one half of the 2 back to back coffeeshops here that are popular with the locals. Coffeeshop may be mostly packed during peak hours, it isn't hard to get food from any stall as it doesn't have 'Famous' stall that will draw extreme long queue. Some of the stalls I often patronize are Western Food, Fried Hokkien Mee, Yong Tau Foo(one of the cheapest around), and more recently Chinese Rice. While none are the best, but definitely more than good enough to meet ur daily needs.
K C LIMWe tried the fried shrimp/sotong noodles at two different stalls. Our reviews are as follows: 777 had too much "wok hei" thus tasted like it was "burnt". Nevertheless it was tasty except the noodles had lesser flavor. Yong Heng 永興 although lacking of "wok hei", had delicious noodles with a richer flavor.
