Apa name?

Nvr heard before

Light Capture, near masjid jamek

I only know hidden cafe

Not into instagram cafes.

http://www.malaysianflavours.com/2020/10/l...hs-lee.html/amp

It's a beautiful space, and was planning to go, but if they don't bother with SOP, there's no point even thinking of going.

gordan ramsay say must alyiz taste taste taste ma

kena trending at this covid era. boleh bungkus la

Masak la sendiri conie mak. Sila pakai mask juga bila memasak

kalau tak taste macam mana mau tau sedap ke tidak? ek eleh

Sohem cafe, sohem customers, sohem everywhere

These bunch of people who never go in kitchen before...

Yes Kitchen staff use barehand.
They taste the food before serve, so that to make sure ur food is ok.
Bunch of people expect the kitchen staff wear PPE and cook in that hit environment and serve at "cheap" price
I just feel people who complain much just don't dine out la

First of all, ayam not so adventurous to go to tat area just to try something new

After reading this, confirm ayam will AVOID this kind of bodo place

Ayam cannot stand to see chef playing the fool while cooking customer food

The meme lives on

Yeala sohem.

So hot later gloves melt.

And most importantly. No test how to know right teste or not

lol i cannot with this 😂

puik! Puik! Puik!

inb4 kena LOD.

There's 2 practice.

In school and practical we always have knife and small spoon in our chef pocket, so that we always able to taste the food we serve

But in Malaysia and real world culture , want it fast, and no one will reach for spoon, so they just use hand instead of spoon.

Seriously, u can't mix commercial prep food with Home cook la..

I seen so much I gave up, many go against what we have thought

Apa beza cafe dan kedai kopi Ah kau?
Ah kau coffee shop can eat nice Kaya roti and tea. All for below RM10.

ppl expect everyone wear gloves, mask, taste with single use utensil for every single dishes, wipe off plates with single use clean cloth before serving

Kalau nak taste boleh pakai sudu la wahai /k bodoh

ktards continue to wow me 😂

out of 10, 9 mostly are not worth for second visit

Err most kitchen is like that, tasting food etc, and wearing mask, well when you in a very hot environment, then you will see how much of hindrance is the mask.

Thats why, i nowaday avoid restaurant and cook myself at home (ok the wife does the cooking) 😁

This is why most kitchen is closed.

kekeke

Malaysia memang orang retard byk

i would say 80% of F&B in malaysia dont even care bout hygiene la, u cant guarantee the place is free of cockroach or rats even its in the mall

inb4 figure pluck from my ass

Yes especially if you have to work hard for your money.

Thought the MCO would kill off all these bad and junk places but does not seem to me that it has done so in sufficient numbers.

lod RM1m inkambing

Jangan la bawak perangai kiasu singapore tu datang sini

Adoyai

Sohai ppl post sohai rant online.

oh looks that chef touch the food bare hand.
boo hoo. never cook food arr this guy?
food production never totally clean to begin with.

To be fair kitchen are freaking hot though.

Boycott

disgusting shit.. I hope that chef washes his hand after tfk

puik

1st time i heard cafe give barcode

Ktard sohai? Hygiene where? Use spoon to taste food la, then put it aside. Want taste again, use another spoon.

Even at home when i cook, i don't use barehand to taste food weh

Macam baru buka, so fast kena game by customer

kek they must have been poisoned by food so many times their tummy numb liao

Last time i assist a chef also cook the same kind of food like pasta n stuff she never use finger to taste food, always use spoon

There are literally thousands of other cafes out there, just close this one

Lu order roti canai, murtabak, yu char koay pun same what

Anneh also uses bare hand to make roti canai

Professional kitchens use a teaspoon to taste. Maybe the chef will use finger to taste frm the spoon.

Disgusting!

For the price they are charging, they should use a spoon. It’s it’s a mamak or kopitiam different story but if you gonna charge 30 bucks for a breakfast then you gotta at least maintain some quality.

Nice place. Thanks for the intro.

Food maybe no. Go for coffee

lol better say ah long kacau them

This couple first time eat in Malaysian restaurant izzit?

All like that la...Eat rojak cendol next to longkang see got complain or not

more like a major disappointment since in the review is like wow oh so wow... but in reality is like.. meh. even small bakery shop in taipan got better taste than this one. furthermore when u dedicate the time and effort to go there and all , sekali, like meh...

I told my wife dont ever ask me to go to any of these foodhunters/local food blogs recommended place after so many disappointments.

but I suspect many of these restaurants are funded by fama/money laundering thus they dont care much about the food taste and all

yes it does looks good on Instagram, but the taste is -1

like this one cafe near teck ming sunway. went there last week to change tyre, since got many customers I decided to walk a bit for drink. surprisingly the delhi boys are manning the restaurant now and I dont see any local staff there.

the spaghetti I had is like _____________ and the latte is , well, ok but price wise not reflected the quality

but I realized the cafe's customers mainly are those sunway uni kids so...

again, not worth for second visit.

got review their router... see got any difference it makes to convince you for a second visit?

mostly using stock router

I think my meksis 5G connection better

We use tasting spoons, taste once then discard for wash. Use new one to taste again. If sometimes need a quick re taste, maybe use the spoon handle end.

First time I heard of ppl using finger to dip and taste. Then re dip again same finger to taste.

Not everything also use finger to poke la.

if you want to nitpicked their staff sop on hygiene, this cafe definitely failed. just waiting them to bungkus since they don't care about their customer reviews.

Lol wtf? Y’all degenerates are actually okay with people tasting your food and shit?

You must be better than Gordon Ramsay then

Because he himself said you can forget dining out at all if you don't want your food touched

coffee so so. food selection so so. dessert ? do they have? no cakes, nothing.

bodo pandan u see gordon ramsay also use bare hands cooking u scare what

here comes the “gordon ramsay also can touch food why can’t they touch” card

I dont visit hipster cafe for rm 15 coffee when i can get the same for rm2.5 at chong kok kopitiam or thong kee. Which is also oredi veli expensive

anneh dont dip his finger into the curry to taste it

WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE??!!!

fark.. now i know lots of digusting people in /k ok with someone dipping their finger in the food to taste, put it mouth wipe then again put back the finger in the food

theres a thing call tasting spoon

You knoe lar. Go makan dont go see the kitchen. 99% very unplessant.

Ewww

lulz but they very stupid for doing that at open style kitchen

Open kitchen cari problem like that. Eee

Malaysia no longer commands a good cafe or food culture. I have generally stopped following food reviews or food blogs as most have become gibberish junk. It is as bad as the car review scene in this country, most if not all are scripted by the person paying the bill.

Any cafes near a private college will never be good. Much of them rely on bank of FAMA to roll or provide the initial capital and their customer base also tends to be FAMA money. 90% of these types of patrons do not complaint if the quality is not reflective of the price or service levels are abysmal at best and this in turn basically allows these types of restaurateurs a carte blanche to serve rubbish food at over inflated prices.

Money laundering is definitely big in this industry, at one point I was told by a DSP that at least 70% of all eateries are very cleverly hidden money laundering operations.

Kek this is Malaysia,
Good luck then

very well said.

That's the reason why I rarely ever travel anywhere for food or even bother trying out new food places.

Better to eat at home or go back to the tried and tested places even if it means a further drive.

In 5 years it would no longer be hot air that Singapore has better food than Malaysia.

Yes, generally. U want good food
Don't go cafe
What they sell there is ambience and environment, not good food.
That's why go for specialise store. If they sell only one type of dish like burger, pizza, noodle. Means that's potentially good food.

not entirely true

pj and kl used to have numbers of good restaurants but these days when nepali bangla viet taking over the kitchen... well... quality gone south but price goes up

Yes, but if a shop specializes in something they will have some what of a standard ground but not always 100% true

I found a very nice pizza place in kl recently, they use the best cheese in the world

indeed

bro u ever eat roti canai? taste good or not

difference between roti canai and this story is that the mamak dun take the roti canai then lick it and continue do the roti canai

this cook put his hand in and taste then wipe without wash then put in again.. thats against health code violation.. even my mom cook never stick her finger inside the dish and use spoon

No use hand taste how to be tasty

Bodoh Connie ptuih

that explains your foreveralonez situation

but hey..reading alot helps right? RIGHT??????

wow..cant believe got ppl agree that taste it including lick finger n dip again is ok.

Finger lickin’ good

Preparation and before cooking clean bare hands.
After cooked, spoon.
Chicken, eggs, raw meat etc all can carry bad bacteria etc.

Lucky no capture come out from toilet no wash hand and dip finger into food for testing

Lol. Read it together sound funny.
Btw, not just restaurant. Even NZ Aussie food production factory is so damn "clean".

Those fruit jam, fish oil. Finger licking good with so much "natural" taste.
Blue berry suppose drop to floor is throw, but to hit quota kutip and pack in basket.

Also nvr ask the re-prepare any dish. Either ask for different dish or walk alway from the restaurant.

1) chef or waiter add some extra seasoning.
2) the same dish masuk kitchen, reheat then put new plate come out.

Hainan bread shop oven plate just use brush to swipe and clean, never use water. Next day reuse for next batch, rinse and repeat until got dark left over. (At night dunno how many cockroach visited)

Welcome to real life.

1. A good chef doesn't need to taste the food during cooking, because he got more than enough experience/practice that he can cook with his eyes blindfolded.
2. A hygienic chef will always use a new spoon or tool to taste or test the food (if he really needed to).
3. A Covid SOP complianced chef will use facemask and proper PPE according to the ministry guideline.
4. A good business will listen to his customer feedback.

Munak991:I just feel people who complain much just don't dine out la.

Good point! And thats how people PUNISH failed business by going elsewhere.
But before that, the public should be alerted as well so they dont get the same bad treatment, No?

Edit: I also can cook without tasting. There is no need to taste if you know what you are cooking.

now probably regretted doing open kitchen concept with windows lol maybe can explore 3M tinting option.

Macam kenal je the cafe.... "Selepas Hitam" or "Garaj 51"?

No flip table?

i once read in a non fiction book.

those hotels in bali, got their salad supply from prison.

and those prisoners, they use human shit as fertilizer.

again, many ktards never fail to surprise me

you know right human already invented fork or spoon. so you don't need to use your finger to taste the food.

Please... Take a step into Malaysia commercial kitchen...
If u do mind the hygiene... Like people here said 90% F&B don't f-care.
I highly disagree using hand to taste food, but mostly I see F&B will do this kind slight of hand.
Please just go in commercial kitchen and see....

i think its pretty normal for kitchen to do so.

seriously those complaining mostly never work in restaurant kitchen before.

As you said, it is the norm to be unhygienic and dirty in the F&B kitchen.
Nobody can deny that but that doesn't mean people/customer has to accept.
This is why businesses fail because customers will go elsewhere.

Things are not always perfect but at least others don't show it to the public/customer.
If you have an open kitchen and people can have a full view, dont you think it is STUPID to show people the dirty way of you handling food?

Instead of improving hygiene or at least not showing the bad side to the people, asking the public to accept DIRTY is not a good way for business.

when everything fails, the last thing you want is to shutdown the public voice because that is where the failure comes.

Open kitchen concept is the most disadvantage for the kitchen staff. cause usually under stress to tune with the pace when order comes in, you'll sometime forget it is a open kitchen haha.

I personally work in buffet line. with Ala carte serving.

First thing, glove, then hats( must wear)
Then in MCO cases, then Mask.
In station we have 2 cloths, one for wiping surrounding , one is is with you or share a clean cloth for wiping plate/utensil
U'll usually see open kitchen concept, they just do cooking and plating there, most cutting and mise-en-place took place back end(some what dirty)

Open kitchen concept is to bring transparency to both diners and chefs / cooks - its a trust and confidence factor.

Any chefs / cook MUST always withhold integrity when it comes to preparing a dish, be it local, western or some high atas dishes. A good chef always pride themselves with integrity to ensure the food is cooked well, safe from CONTAMINATION and taste & presented well.

For those who claim that this is the ‘real world’ - this is true, you can’t change people with no integrity to suddenly develop integrity. Do your part as a consumer, avoid these places like a plague. Unless, you don’t mind paying for contaminated food.
