This place Foon Kee is along Jalan Pudu in a dilapidated shop lot and has been in operation for more than 30 years. You should never go to this place on Sundays as the waiting time will usually be well over an hour.
On weekdays, they open for lunch at 11.00am and one must arrive before 12noon. Otherwise you may have to be waiting outside the shop together with some 15 people or so. No air-conditioning both inside and outside. Can sweat like a horse that has just done a 5 mile run.
We arrived just before 12pm. It was unusually busy that day.
The first two photos showed the waiting people outside and the third the lucky ones inside.
This place has got certain rules that you have to abide by. They can be more strict than the ones you have in Canon. The all women operation has absolutely no hesitations in enforcing the rules in a loud verbal manner.
1 You have to wait to be seated. Otherwise you will be chased out.
2 You have to stick to the table you were directed to. Changing tables on your own will result in a loud retort.
3 You should make your choices clearly and quickly. Otherwise the captain will quickly make recommendations and if you still hmmm. errrr. , she will show you some 'face color'.
4 They only have 2 sets of metal forks and spoons. Everybody eats with chopsticks. Do not be demanding.
5 Tables cannot be booked. Purely a first-come-first-served basis.
6 When your meal is finished, you are expected to pay up and vacate. Sitting around after that invite strong encouragements to leave.
7 There is a limitation to the amount of fishheads per day. Going at 2.30pm to avoid the crowd is not a good idea.
What to order. Everything is good here.
Fans include Liew Sip Chon, Richard Yeow, Chua Hock Keat, Yam Kin Fook, Cheng Sue Yueh, Jeremy Lee, Andrew Kong, Khor Han Heng, etc.
Okay, back to Khor Han Heng who is saying "Hi!"
This mother was the Personnel Manager after Andrew Kong and before Yam Kin Fook. Yes, I realized Yam Kin Fook is no longer doing Personnel stuff.
He is the most likeable Personnel Manager I know, possibly making him the best. My view is that most personnel fellows elsewhere prefer to put up some barrier between the staff and themselves making themselves somewhat intimitating and distant.. A easier job may ensure. But then again, what do I know. (Let me bodek him a bit lor?)
Khor Han Heng is married with two kids of quite a gap in their ages. He quickly informed me that the kids belong to the same set of parents.
Today he runs a motivational, training outfit called Focalpoint. (not FocusPoint, the eyecare company). He currently drives a new big car and all indications point to a successful Khor Han Heng.
Andrew Kong and another CanonMalaysian were with us. They requested that I do not write nonsence about them. I think I shall save it for another day. Save for the fact that Andrew Kong's brother is not an assemblyman that I mentioned in a earlier post but a full fledged Member of Parliament.
