Guess the restaurants' owners want to pay as little as possible to their workers! Maybe the owners should train them to speak in basic Malay and English. <BR/><BR/>Haha! Don't eat chickens except at KFC? Wow! Then eat only beef and lamb? LOL! <BR/><BR/>I heard that brinjals are bad for the eyesight.

I went to a Taiwanese restaurant at Sunway Piramid today to try out the oyster noodle. <BR/><BR/>Guess what, the people who cook and serve the food was a Bangladeshi. Kinda weird.

I do get exasperated when staff can't give recommendations or understand our request because their language proficieny is not up to par. <BR/>There's an international feel at food outlets now. Imagine going to a Thai restaurant and seeing that your Kerabu is made by a Bangladeshi or Myanmar. Even at Tony Roma's there're staff who can barely talk in English! Maybe local people don't see it interesting to work in food sector?linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664130016930236672.post-76319342816678141602009-01-21T12:02:00.000+08:002009-01-21T12:02:00.000+08:00You have service staff who have language problems ...You have service staff who have language problems in Malaysia too?
