Ipoh has its 1st Pappa Rich now. Everyone is like zomg let’s check it out..
hahaha so I went over to this place with Jacqueline and guess what? This place is horrible! I don’t know whether its because of the huge CNY crowd or simply because of their failed strategy to maximize profit.
.

1st failed thing.
There was a 30min queue to get a seat. Wow great.. a long queue of people outside but only 5 chairs available for customers to sit while waiting for their turn. Names were just scribbled on a piece of paper and when it is your turn, you get called. Simple as that. Some names were called but none showed up. I guess they’ve got tired of waiting. I actually had this idea of acknowledging myself as the person being called when the guy did not turn up but then again… haha.. Ok nvm lets go on. So we managed to get a seat.. but it was outside pappa rich, an indoor corridor area with a couple of portable air coolers. Wow, air coolers.. sounds great.. but they weren’t even switched on!
2nd failed thing. Drinks.
Look at how pathetic those drinks were served. They weren’t even served at the correct person. They simply just placed it on the god damned oily table (but not oily anymore after Jac wiped it). The so called CARROT juice didn’t look like carrot juice. Looks like some antibiotic mixture added with loads of water in it. Why serve it in a “huge” mug like this if they are not even gonna fill it up to the brim? hmm.. then notice the amount of ice cubes in it? ZOMG. Probably the so called carrot juice was only filled up to 1/4 of the cup and the rest were just ice. Oh did you just spot the dirt on the handles? If I’m not mistaken this place was up for business only not too long ago. Did you guys use recycled cups? Or you did not wash the cups… urgh. Carrot juice.. looks like they used only a 1/4 carrot for this cup. And if you’re wondering about the price? Don’t ask. I could get you a packet of carrots from Jusco for that price.. LOL. I wonder how it tasted like.. the usual carrot juice I always have doesn’t seem to be translucent or rather transparent~ . Hey Jacq if you’re reading this, please do tell me how it tasted like. Hahaha.. Next! The pappa cham! Ah, this looked abit better but I’d say its equally bad. I could make myself a better drink than this diluted thing. I’ve nothing much to say about this pappa cham but only one word can describe it. its really chammmm ( pronounce it the Cantonese way). *shakes head* tsk tsk tsk..
3rd barely passed thing.
The kaya toast. Hmm, kaya toast pretty much tastes the same though. The only thing that I wasn’t satisfied with this was the stale bread. The bread was dry and the sides of the bread was burnt. This is not the usual kinda koptiam style toast. Very special indeed.
A nbtd shot =P.
4th failed thing.
Oh wow, nice we have wifi provided here at Pappa Rich Ipoh. Jacqueline was able to stream her usual porno materials happily for a while but then suddenly, the connection dropped. Although we managed to get it back running, haih, sudah potong stim.. Then, the connection dropped again.. I switched the wifi on my cellphone to the TOS koptiam next to Pappa Rich and I’d managed to get a much more stable connection although it showed only 1 bar on the signal strength meter.
Managed to snap this before the connection dropped and she couldn’t enjoy her porno anymore~
5th failed thing.
A worker simply walks up to you and demands for payment. I thought I should pay when I want to pay and not when you want me to pay. Anyway fine, I gave him the cash and patiently waited for my change. 5mins went by.. still no sign of my change.. 10mins.. then 15mins.. Fine, I’m lifting my heavy butt and I’ll personally walk to the cashier to demand for my change. He questioned me asking whether have I paid for my stuff. !@#@#%@#. Anyway I managed to squeeze my change out from his cash register and went back to my seat. Not too long after that, another worker came and requested for payment. I’m totally speechless. Settled the stuff, grabbed our stuff and went away.
Pappa Rich @ Ipoh was a total letdown.. I don’t know why there are still customers going there. Good feng shui perhaps? haha. Anyway I went there too!
One thing nice about De Gardens though was the lighting there.
