Absolutely horrible. Walked past here with my girlfriend and the worker cat called her. No respect for women and absolutely shameless behaviour. The audacity from the man is crazy. Even a 5 year old has more respect than him. Definitely never buying from this store or ever going close to it ever again. Women, please watch out.

At around 845pm yesterday, I went to order pig stomach soup and lotus soup. The guy told me no pig stomach soup. I changed to both lotus soup. But add on 1 white rice and 1 pumpkin rice. He then told me no pumpkin rice. Therefore I only ordered one lotus soup with white rice. I asked for soy sauce with chilli. He said no more. The whole ordering process from start till end, the guy was extremely rude and giving a very bad attitude towards me. He kept on ask me to faster and faster as he wanted to close shop. I know that the shop closed at 930pm. After taking my soup, I went to buy other food. When I went back at 9 plus, he was there chit chatting with his colleague and not even preparing to close shop as what he had mentioned. His job is to serve customer and he at least should know how to speak in a good tone.

The Malaysian Chinese who served at the counter to use another plastic to tighten the soup portion cos it usually spills n the rice. Claiming that I wanted 2 plastic bags for a portion of soup. Told him the soup was hanged on hooks in car. I can't control the movement. He insisted that the soup spilled because I swang it while carrying it. I didn't take any cutlery or chilli. Rude n obnoxious!

Definitely a 5 star for this. Price is average but soup is SO good! Specially option 1. Thou it’s $9, my pov is worth more than that! Very flavorful and lots of ingredients like empress slice, mushrooms and fish maw. Their white pepper pig stomach soup not too bad too. Not very spicy but peppery enough. Personally, also like their peanut with lotus root.

Have patronised this stall many times. Good value for money. This stall gives at least 3 pieces of pork ribs with other ingredients in the soup. Do not understand why a number of bad review.
