This stall is faces the main road and is near the end towards
the further carpark away from Harbourfront. It is a middle
aged Chinese couple selling fried oysters with egg and hokkien
mee.
Had an unpleasant experience just tonight. Told the man
doing the frying I wanted a plate of hokkien mee. Within
about 5 seconds, I changed my mind and told them I didn't
want. The guy had not started cooking the mee yet, and they
did not say anything about having cooked the mee.
I ordered fried rice from a Muslim stall from the other end and
brought near to this side where I was originally sitting. The
fried rice was not very good, so I decided this time to order the
hokkien mee.
Imagine my surprise when the couple reacted very
violently. The man scolded me and said he will not sell to
me. Reason is because he said had to throw the mee that he
cooked earlier. But as I mentioned, I had changed my mind in
an instant previously (how long do you need), but he had not
cooked the mee yet. (Unless you can cook mee without moving
your arms!)
The woman also scolded me and when
I said they could not refuse to sell to anyone in
particular, she reacted more violently. I was tired
after a hard day's work so I walked away and went to sit down at my
table to decide what other food I can order instead.
Imagine my surprise when the woman continued berating
me and told passers-by that I was a bad guy or
something. Totally uncalled for and frankly speaking
when I said I didn't want the mee -
the man had not cooked it yet and he also did not
tell me there and then that he had already cooked it, otherwise I
would have taken it.
But I certainly find the couple's behaviour really
unpleasant and will not order from their stall in future.

You have insulted them and yet you have the audacity to come
here to complain. Shame on you.
You think your couple of bucks very big ah ? Grow up ok.
They may be food sellers, but they take pride in the food they
cook.
Hawkers has the right to refuse any customer. So you truly
deserved it.
Next time you want to be treated like a emperor, don't go hawker
center.. go expensive restaurants . What a cheapskate you
are.
Really, it's the hawker having a bad experience with idiots like
you.
