That's the way it should be...for the good of all. <br /><br />RM1.90 a bowl, how many bowls each person would have per visit? Many! It seems like some kind of competition, who can eat more. Well, they want to blindly follow other people's practice then they would have to face the mammoth task of washing so many bowls and with careless workers...and maybe poor quality bowls, of course, they will end up all chipped...and they have to be replaced. So many chipped, even some cheap coffee shop has crockery in better shape. I really don't see why people must follow people blindly, cashing on on a trend that somebody started here and it caught on...like wild fire. Can't they be more original than that?<br /><br />As for the guest - that was the 50's/60's, the colonial days, when the whites acted that they were superior, scoffing at our primitive ways. Yes, that was uncalled for, very ill-mannered. He could have just pointed it out and my father could have asked for a change of plate. That certainly is a more civil thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-61332700206541570792015-04-28T16:14:19.775+08:002015-04-28T16:14:19.775+08:00I wonder also...I think too much competition and t...I wonder also...I think too much competition and the smaller ones will probably not survive.contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-40867168592219142472015-04-28T14:09:14.704+08:002015-04-28T14:09:14.704+08:00boat noodle trend's in full swing isn't it...boat noodle trend's in full swing isn't it? wonder how long it'll last tho.KYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770044511950654660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-16453630011896377042015-04-28T11:17:37.609+08:002015-04-28T11:17:37.609+08:00Yes, there are many competitors now.Yes, there are many competitors now.contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-42851288154667392492015-04-28T11:17:01.274+08:002015-04-28T11:17:01.274+08:00Yeah, I heard that their iced tea is very good too...Yeah, I heard that their iced tea is very good too...I'll try that the next time I'm there.<br /><br />It's difficult for me to do invited reviews coz I like to tell it as it is and I won't feel nice if I had to say something negative after they've paid for my meal.

And at RM1.90, I think replacing the bowl would cost more than the noodles. As to your father's guest who threw the chipped plate onto the floor, I don't think it was a very nice thing to do. The right thing would be to complain to the management and just walk away. Even if the restaurant didn't deserve respect for serving food on chipped plates, your father certainly deserved more respect than that!contact.ewewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142689964601201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834220008218845143.post-41918397845218158522015-04-28T10:47:45.670+08:002015-04-28T10:47:45.670+08:00I guess my last sentence said it all!

Don't mind trying if it is a whole lot in one bowl - I don't understand why they must serve so little in a big bowl like that, such a waste of water washing all those bowls. They may have a reason to do that at the Floating Market in Thailand - easier to handle in the boat to pass to customers to eat...without the thumb sticking into the noodles or worse, the soup perhaps...and when it is not full, it will not spill. <br /><br />And see! See! The bowls are all badly chipped!!! Those cracks will harbour germs - my father took an American business associate to dinner here once and he just threw the chipped plate onto the floor to break it when served in one like that.
