Do not patronise XO Fish Head Noodles at Holland Drive

I just patronise the coffeeshop that sells the famous fish head noodles at Holland Drive last evening. I was horrified to pay $14 ($12 for the noodles and $2 for plastic container for takeaway fish head noodles as they only charge $10 for everything last month.

This is deem as ridiculous and dishonest. The service is bad and the servers are rather snobbish. I will not patronise the stall again!!!! And please let the public know about this as well!

Maybe the TS went during CNY period. Everyone is busy.

TS,

I do not think it is a fair for you to put them down just because of the price and the lack of attention during their peak hours.

On the price, you need to understand that prices may go up due to increase in cost of their supplies and operational cost. Paying extra for container is already becoming common. In other parts of the world, customers at local food hawkers and eateries are told to pay extra for take aways due to the containers used. So I am not surprised that Singapore is catching on.

On peak hours, it is quite normal that service standards to be compromise and rash acts may occur. I am sure if the standard of their food has not dropped I am sure they will have loyal patrons continuing with them. Just treat this as an unfortunate incident and move on.

I think $2 is a little too expensive for a container.

Agree, but I am not sure if he had a big take away or not. Besides, the post is lacking details so I cannot comment that.
