The cashier lady was super rude. Even though she could accept scanned payments, she insisted on cash, then claimed she didn't have 4 yuan in change. Many people don't carry cash these days, and her attitude about it was very poor! This wasn't just directed at our group, but at other customers as well. Is it illegal to go out without cash now?

Had to wait over 30 minutes for the Tu Tu Kueh. That was crazy.

I bought their first class salt baked chicken yesterday. It was cold and lousy. Not even heated.

First time buying, and the Nonya dumpling had mold growing on it. Got a refund, but the seller was insistent that it was just water residue from bulk cooking of the dumplings. The seller told the other customers that I didn’t know what I was talking about. I won’t buy from them again.

Daylight robbery! Tutu kueh costs $4.50. I ordered a coin and asked for an extra cup, and was told that it cost an additional $3 for the cup.

To be honest, it's quite surprising they only accept cash payment. I walked all the way here, but there were no other payment options.

If there was a 0, I would give it.
The counter auntie is super rude. If you have a scan-to-pay option, why hide it? Just display it and your life will be easier.
And, I was just asking politely after she passed me the food what number to key in? (The QR code was not displayed then because she put it beside the cashier [I don't know for what], and she told me I could key in on my mobile.) Her response "ç‰ï¼Œç‰ï¼Œç‰!"
Seriously, if you are the owner, please close down this outlet. With this type of service staff, I am not surprised by the Google rating.
1st and last time for me.

This outlet is a franchise of Daun Pandan Rice Dumpling, which has many other outlets and a 30-year history. The dumplings are even better than Hoo Kee! The glutinous rice is soft and fluffy, unlike the rubbery ones at Hoo Kee (see my review of them). The pork is quite generous.
I'm Hakka, and we have a tradition of eating rice dumplings. I've eaten dumplings for about 40 years. We have heard of the Michelin-starred Hoo Kee, right? Hoo Kee used to make better rice dumplings 10 years ago, which were really the best. Over the past year, their standards have dropped sharply, and I don't think they are now anywhere near Daun Pandan's standard. I suggest Michelin inspectors contact me if they really want to evaluate rice dumplings.
