M NaveinthiirenMy review is only for the western cuisine stall in this Kopitiam. Apparently the stall holder is perfectly alright with people cutting queue. It's like a scenario where whomsoever shouts their order first gets their food first. There are people queueing and automatically let's the Malay person behind me order first. Not sure if it's because the stall holder is Malay herself. Never patronizing this stall again regardless of whether the food is good. The chicken rice stall, however, is the total opposite of this western stall. Proper queue being formed, proper manner of taking the order. Reasonable price too.
Serena SiakHad my first lunch at the Canberra Plaza Canteen after living in Canberra for over a year, and I was honestly shocked by the price of this Nasi Padang — $9! I know Malay or Indo-style Nasi Padang tends to be on the pricier side, but I didn’t expect it to be this expensive here. As you can see, the portion is really small. I swear I only took one bite of the fish — and it’s tiny! The cabbage and potato portions are also minimal. Not sure if it’s the high rental at Canberra Plaza that’s forcing the seller to price it this way, or if it’s just their own choice to sell at such a steep price — but either way, it really doesn’t feel worth it. To be honest, I usually get Nasi Padang with a Nasi Lemak base and four generous dishes at Novena for just around $8++. Don’t think I’ll be coming back here for meals anymore although the Nasi Padang taste not bad — I don’t want to get shocked by another “amazing” price again! Also, the cleaning aunty here isn’t as friendly or helpful as the normal coffee shop aunties, who often clear your plates even when it’s not really part of their job. The one here seemed pretty free, but still didn’t bother — a small thing, but it really shows the difference in service.
Welldon iTechPlease be aware when you order food from this stall. Overpriced !!! 10 dollar for the fried bee hon with egg and sambal sotong.
