My lunch at The Old Malaya Cafe wasn't great, but it was a refreshing alternative to the mall food court or chain restaurants - plus it was cheap. I ordered the Melaka chicken rice balls (which I enjoy when I'm in Melaka) and, since every single person ahead of me in line ordered one, a popiah. It was quite busy, but I managed to get a little table to myself. The chicken rice balls came quickly, within 5 minutes of me sitting down, and were fine -- tender chicken in soy sauce, 4 bland rice bal
I ordered the Melaka chicken rice balls (which I enjoy when I'm in Melaka) and, since every single person ahead of me in line ordered one, a popiah.
It was quite busy, but I managed to get a little table to myself. The chicken rice balls came quickly, within 5 minutes of me sitting down, and were fine -- tender chicken in soy sauce, 4 bland rice balls (they're more of a novelty than an improvement to rice, is my opinion). For $5, it was a generous enough portion and reasonably tasty.
I was pretty much done the chicken rice and my popiah still hadn't come. So when the staff would come into the dining area to bring people their food, I tried to get their attention and ask them. They did their best to ignore me. I finally got one lady's attention who was actually carrying a tray of popiah, and said I was still waiting for mine. She looked at my receipt and my number, and said these weren't my order... keep waiting!
Well, I waited another 10 minutes and it did not come. There were lots of people still coming in for lunch and my table was needed, and I felt bad enough having kept it for so long. So I got back in line where I ordered and when I got to the front told them I never got my popiah and showed them my receipt. They said something about having lost my order, and asked if I still wanted it! My table was long gone and I had other places to go, so they just refunded me my money.
Anyway, it seemed an honest mistake but the staff should have looked into it when I told them I'd been waiting for so long. There were a few other things on the menu I was curious to try so I'd probably go back, but would try to visit when it isn't so busy so hopefully the service will be better!
