All along, I had thought the staple business of Killiney Kopitiam was the sale of bread, coffee & eggs. But surprise surprise, when I went to the above branch to buy the usual toast, the response was: we don't serve bread during lunch. You come back after 2pm. HUH?? Not only that, I even offered to order now (1.55pm) and pick it up at 2pm. But the answer was still no. My only guess that this could have happened is because the sales proceeds from bread just doesn't justify the rental in the heart of CBD. Still that's no excuse. Just imagine, what if Teck Kee Pau decides not to sell Pau during lunch, Old Chang Kee decides not to sell fishballs & curry puffs during lunch and Macdonald's decides not to sell burgers during lunch, all just so for the dollars & sense..
Hey, what happened to the good old fashioned Killiney kopitiam that we all know? The old coffeeshop at Killiney Road itself has just damaged its own reputation by not having good quality control for their franchising business. If Killiney Kopitiam doesn't serve bread, then why is it even in operation?! Of course, we all know that they have since expanded their product range to include mee siam, laksa, sweet & sour fish and so on and so forth. But frankly, their food sucks. Their hor fun is too starchy, their fish too stinky. I rather go to my HDB kopitiam for their zi char. Cheap & good.
Well, to the original owners of Killiney Kopitiam or the inheritants, wake up! I suggest you relook at the workings of your franchise business and buck up your service! Thumbs DOWN, shame on you!
