after all, why would any boss of an "atas" coffee house be bitching about a dollar tip ? ... he's raking it in from 8 dollar coffees and service charges anyways .....
plus, tips normally go into a common pot for the serving stuff ....
many businesses lack a coherent social media strategy anyways ... I'm running a few facebook groups for other people as well right now ....
i still remember Obolo who tried to take some people to court.. because the people criticised them!
i think the boycott is still on?
oh.. Man Fu Yuan's food isn't that bad.. i went there last night courtesy of ah gong...
but their dong po rou isn't as good as the one at dian xiao er or the yi-dao rou at lao beijing...
but their roast pork was excellent

it's more worth it .... at some place it's even cheaper, ironically, than a baby piggy .....
remember how we were ketok'ed by kian seng when we went for the shark's head and the crab ? ....

this reminds of of that time (long ago) when I went to this zhi char place and ordered a large fishhead claypot for myself. the stall owner thought I was joking when I made the order. and started in horrified fascination as I ate the lot.
good memories. ![]()

pssttt guys...i made carrot cake for a friend last weekend! yes, with shreds of carrots. and walnuts as well!.
no cream cheese though but they can easily rectify this on their own.
