My First Razzie entry: Old Town Kopitiam MaMak @ QV Melbourne

One would wonder why someone would start blogging about the horrible food that's been dishing out by some restaurants/eatery in melbourne..of course, bloggers always want the glamourous job of getting invites to a top hat restaurants/eatery blah blah and so forth..however, what this blog tries to achieve is to alert people the food serve by some of these places are so below-par, they should be ban altogether..and l think it is not right (morally and ethically) to make someone pay for their sub-standard food. This are my own personal views...and it is not intend to slur someone reputation.

My first razzie food award goes to Old town kopitiam MaMak @ QV Melbourne store.


In the last few years there is a massive proliferation of asian/malaysian eateries in Melbourne..Old town kopitiam is one of them..Selling authentic malaysian food in Melbourne CBD was a great idea..since there will be heaps of homesick students looking for that abit of a comfort food to help smooth their soul...this thus becomes a great recipe for poorly managed eateries to rip earn them of their money by offering sub-standard food.


The above is a curry puff i ordered at old town kopitiam. What the hell is this crap?? it was cold, soggy and not abit of curry flavour. I had some great curry puffs up in swanton street at a macik's place for $1 whereas l paid $2.50 for this rubbish l wouldn't even feed it to my dog! Of course, that wasn't the end...
Roti Chanai that was 'freshly-made' by the 'so-called chefs'. Oh come on, why would u pay some $7 bucks to have roti that's probably made by some other student..not crispy, the curry given tasted like water + curry powder (unlike the one when you order a real curry chicken which cost u another $4.50). So, tell me..why would u pay $11.50 for one small roti chanai meal?? For that price i am pretty sure alot of food bloggers can tell you where to get a decent meal. Wife ordered a coffee which turn out to be cold, tasteless and absolutely horrid. Oh well many at this point will ask: hey, why don't u complain on the spot??I tell you the honest truth people: This aren't no fine dining mate..complaining about the food will not make the food taste any better people..because poor food is usually dished out due to a few possibilities..such as poor quality control, management, poor quality chefs...chefs without training...u go figure that 101 reasons..

Writing these entries is so unglamorous..l would rather write about the great food l am eating in Melbourne instead..however, i think it's good to let people think about their food..their hard-earned money to some establishment that serve sub-standard food.

 l hate myself for paying $50++ to old town kopitiam for this lunch..l have been cursing myself since...will never ever be back...

Old Town Kopitiam MaMak scores a 10/10 for some of the most horrible malaysian food in Melbourne. This is not even a nomination...it's a winner..
