Indian lady at the counter was very rude. Ignores customer when they are in front of her as well. Time of visit 27 Aug 7pm

Rude Indian staff. Please train your staff properly. It doesn't correlate with your recent price increase.

Great stop to grab snacks for tea. The auntie is friendly and there's always almost no queue here! The consistency of the nonya kueh across branches is something I always come back for.
