Pelita Nasi Kandar in SS15, Subang Jaya was one of my favorite go to place whenever I need quick & cheap fix. However, my recent experiences lately had been disappointing. See, the night manager is this middle age man with a cool mustache who happens to be an impeccably competent staff. That's not the case for some of the rest. My first offputting incident started about 5 months ago. I requested for tissue and guess what the waiter did? He pointed at the tissue box near the counter implying that I should take it myself. It was qickly resolved by another staff who saw it, eventually got it for me. Second incident which was 2 months ago, I queued and there it was my turn so I walked to the fried chicken till to tell the chandi man the part I wanted.. which is the last one. I suppose he got sidetracked and went to put rice for another customer while I was walking to that fried parts's till, followed by this next person ultimately getting it. I walked out without saying anything or causing a scene. I kept my patience, grace since they obviously didn't need the money of a multimillionaire in laidback clothings and would prefer some average Joe's who look more like the perfect local. Now, the last incident which hugely infuriated me. Same scenario, only that there was plenty of the specific chicken part. After queing at 3 customers and finally come to my turn, I told the chandi man no rice for me please and I only wanted to tapau the chicken. Again, while I walked to the till they got sidetracked by some next customer who happens to be our stereotypical Malay 'brader'. Without holding back, I insisted him to get my order sorted with "Now"/"Sekarang" as he was bustling on that bloke's vegetables, curry on his plate of rice and enormously snubbed my request. Telling me to 'Wait'. Seriously?Disdained, I called the chandi man an "Idiot"/ "Bodoh" (He knows me as a customer too well) with a loud voice and stormed out the restaurant, scoring them with a final line of "I came first in the queue, you should've just served me first!"/ "Saya datang dulu di beratur, awak patut buat makanan saya dulu!" with them looking indignant, not understanding what they did wrong big time. Both remarks in Bahasa of course. If some of you might have noticed, I wore dark grey V-neck and that was the case there. I guess I wouldn't ever want to come here anymore, and I commitedly mean it. Pelita Nasi Kandar is one of those eateries that reminds you why sometime you being sporting and humble has its price. The staffs apparently so are dodgy in manners and takes advantage of your pleasantry. Anyway, if you're immensely hungry and would like to know a restaurant that you can simply skip queue.. I do highly recommend Pelita SS15.
