This stall is along the row that faces the main road. They specialize in you tiao, butterfly, salty hum chin pang and curry puff. I ordered their you tiao ($1) and butterfly ($0.90). They are very well priced! They batch cook individual items and if you are ordering more than 1 type of item, then you may need to wait till the other item is ready before your complete order is served. They will write your order on the plastic bag and this will be the queue when your order will be ready. It took another 15 mins before my order was ready and I could walk around instead of waiting in front of the stall. The items were served piping hot and the butterfly had a mild salty taste, probably due to the salty hum chin pang being cooked in the same wok of oil. 😅 Good value and tasty! Recommended! 😋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If there was a 0 star, that would have been my genuine rating. I’ve read a few reviews about the rude lady vendor in her 60s and today, I experienced it myself. In fact, all the staff (except the old uncle who was frying) was rude! I placed my order and was told that there is a 10 minute wait. When I came back after 10 minutes, they told me they have started to prepare another person’s order and I had to wait another 10 minutes. I was in a hurry and ask if they could speed up my order and the reply was “I can refund you the money.” Please. It’s not just about the money. Time is equally precious. And as a vendor, being fair to all your customers is important. Above all, it was the rudeness that will keep me from coming back. Very very rude and unfriendly. There is another you Tiao shop located directly behind this shop which is much better. If not for the fact that the other one had sold out, there’s not a chance that I would buy from this rude one.
I came down to the shop with genuine intention to buy. I saw the youtiao just fried one, so I casually said, “Eh, the youtiao look good ah?!! Just fried up?” But the auntie — late 50s to early 60s — straightaway told me, “This one just take out from fridge only, still frozen, cannot eat, cannot sell you.” So I told her nicely, “Auntie, you can just say it’s not ready yet mah, no need to talk until like that.” But she constantly rolled her eyes and replied, in Chinese, “我讲话就是这样,你不能接受就不要买.” (“I talk like that one. If you cannot take it, then don’t buy.”)
