Wak Dol vs. Pak Li


Have u ever experience a situation when so are tremendously, extremely hungry, u craved so much for a meal, as in a proper meal...

Apparently, when it comes to the time, things doesn't seemed the way u expect it 2 be (as in, the taste / service sucks, etc) and u just loose yr appetite in a split second, sedangkan perut mmg lapar tahap maximum, but u just CAN'T EAT!!!

Unfortunately, I had to face this situation when i got back from AJL with Adam Timberlake de la Spears (yang mengalami 'hangover' eventhough he didn't drink- nyanyi Womanizer like nobody's biz LOL) and Mr. Fauzi aka Mesin Masa. It was already 1am & i was so sleepy but yet hungry.

They ordered fried kway teow n i ordered Club Sandwiches. After sometimes, i wondered y la my order x sampai lagi, so i asked the girl, she checked n actually told me dgn penuh selamba : Sorry i Lupa...

Ok fine, i still wait.. But bila adam dah habis makan, n my food is still not served, i called - i mean, i screamed in order to get their attention (as they were bz with themselves), n cancelled my order :
- Tp dah buat dah
- Tp i dah hilang selera, n i xkn makan the food kalu u served pun
- Sorrylah, kitchen byk order td
(occupancy x sampai 50% pun)

Within split second, she came to the table with the club sandwich - which gave me picture, that benda 2 dah siap, but she didn't serve it as she was bz chit-chatting or whatever. Lg la I blow!!! So what's the point of her taking it to the table as i already rejected it.


Fact / experience / comparison :


1.Wak Dol's fried kway teow xde Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - rasa x sama.
- meanwhile Pak Li's fried kway teow always taste the same.

2. My earl grey tea wasn't served in the same cup as it was previously.

3. Didn't listen to orders as Adam said - both kway teow lebih, but only 1 yang lebih, the other didn't.

4. Pak Li always repeat order which Wak Dol never.
- Eventhough it is just 2 miserable ice lemon tea n Faiz (the waiter yg always serves us) dah familiar sgt. He sees our face n mention it, but he still repeats order.

5. Wak Dol had difficulties handling orders - probably baru kot...

6. Out of 426 times, ops! sorry.. According 2 Adam it's 597 times we went to Pakli, we only got screwed few times. But this is only my 3rd time in Wak Dol n i already got screwed. Almost got screwed the 2nd time, but i deal with it hoping it'll never happen again.

So Moral of the story :
PAK LI IS STILL THE BEST

So... not that I won't go to Wak Dol anymore, but i'll be extra carefull.. But I'll take a break for the time being. So sorry if i'm being a little harsh here, but since i work in hospitality industry / service line, its hard 4 me to tolerate this kinda crab. Furthermore, i was really hungry then & it somehow spoilt my mood, in the middle of the night.

Enough Said!!!

i want to share with u guys....i myself also like hang out at pak li with my buddy before...but after knew it i was shock...

before this i don't know that the pak li kopitiam is owned by chinese guy...

the 1st branch of pak li kopitiam is based at Klang...the menu n the staff are all chinese...

but when they found the chance to open the restaurant at shah alam where almost of the customer is student & like to hang out at some kind of cozy place....they change the menu & etc to attract the malay's...

after i know that the wak dol kopitiam were open at the sec 7 'baru2' i was happy because at least i'm guaranteed that the owner's malay...i'm so happy!!!(",)
