boon's log 3910.02: B*tchy-Penang Char Koay Teow

I received this through the mail recently.


B*tchy-Penang Char Koay Teow;
credit goes to the fantastic artist who has managed to portray this so well

As many of us have been victimized by this inconsiderate hawker, I felt compelled to post it up here to warn future potential 1st-time customers.

Go ahead and give this lady a try if you want to pay someone to scold you, wait inline like in some government department and then have her give you a plate of way-over-charged Char Koay Teow that is of mediocre-taste.

My thoughts - she does not represent Penang Char Koay Teow, and she definitely does not represent Penang Hospitality!

boon out...

Funny how in Malaysia we customers have to put up with the sometimes arrogant attitudes of the hawkers. Whereas in other places, it's the food sellers who go all out to please their customers.

Yeah, boycott! Read today's Star - 23 September 2010. Reader's letter titled "Boycott arrogant hawker". Why pay to be insulted? We Penangites have this saying: "so eow kui-meh?"

acura: yeah, I guess it is only limited to a few really bad apples who have "good business". Malaysian Food-sellers who do not have THAT good biz would not have acted this way - take for example the restaurants along Batu Ferringhi - they practically beg you to patronize them.

Anon.: Agree - there are many other CKT sellers out there in Penang. I am one who believes that that Lrg Selamat shop is only for non-Penangites.
