见人见智 @ Pak Hailam Kopitiam, Tesco Extra Cheras

There are quite a number of coffee shop or kopitiam opened in recent years, and most of them are in franchise nature which we can see it everywhere, ever in shopping mall. Convenience and comfortable dine-in environment are undoubtedly provided as we can have our meal in a cozier place with air conditional, but does the quality of foods have been ensured? Yet, we can always rely to their center kitchen when we worry about the uncertainty of the food quality and quantity, but do the staff of the kopitiam did their part in serving a good taste of their foods? This kind of problems are perhaps mostly challenge the kopitiam organizer as their staffs act as the last stage in preparing food just right before they serve to customers.

This remind my previous part-time working experience that I used to work as waitress as well at Old Town, Pandan Indah when I just came back from National Service at Sarawak. There was an aunty who worked in kitchen and responsible for cooking. She was the one who thought me a lot of cooking skills and so inspire my cooking interest as well. She always have passion in preparing food for customer, and never tiring for some repeated steps (which are not necessary actually as those steps were not mentioned in preparing foods when she was trained in center kitchen), just to make sure that the customers have their delicious foods. She was the one who told me that we have to deep-fried chicken for twice just to make sure the chicken were crunchier and less oily taste. She was the one who will fried the ikan bilis again when it arrived from center kitchen. She also was the only who braised pomelo skin in dark soy sauce slowly and made it taste like delicious stewed pork skin. * I MISS HER so much~* It's seriously hard to find a person who will cook with heart and passion nowadays as this is a fast moving world.

I went toPak Hailam kopitiam today with mum after shopping, just to take a break for our tiring legs. This is the first time that I dine-in at here, and probably I won't come for second time for this outlet in short moment. 

Chicken Bao. The filling still very cold and it taste disgusting actually with cold filling.

Pak Hailam Special. Nothing special at all where it neither taste nor smell of coffee aroma. The coffee was not hot enough, and same goes to their cup.

Omega Soft-Boiled Eggs on Toast. 

Kangkung Sotong. 

Although the foods' taste were in low-average rate at overall, but undeniably, it still attract quite a lot of people dine-in at here. It's merely not at my taste, but suit for others. *见人见智*
