Jaya One Eateries Review: Tappers Cafe

I refused to believe that 2 out of 2 bad eateries means that Jaya One is full of bad places to eat. So i was there again yesterday and this time, we tried the place of my choice (the first 2 weren't my choices but i didn't disagree either).

Tappers is situated in between Santinis and Kluang Station Kopitiam (i think its kluang station lah).
Tappers is also modelled after some of those kopitiams like kluang station, Old Town and etc. They serve mainly local dishes and some hainanese fare like the hainanese chicken chop. We ordered the hainanese chicken chop, nasi dagang ayam, french toast with honey, bandung sirap (known as goo lee ping here) and iced "cham" (coffee and tea).

The drinks here are nice and damned kao. but if you dont like drinks that are a tad on the sweet side, then its not recommended. We ordered 2 glasses of bandung sirap, hehehe... The cham was good also.

Now for the food, if you like french toast, i'm sure wou will like the french toast here. It is evenly fried and the colour is perfect. Then when eaten with honey, it tastes so good...(already drooling thinking aout it now...). The hainanese chicken chop was passable, though the batter on the fried chiken not as crispy as i had hoped. The sauce was decent, but different from the ones i've tasted. This one is a bit sweet sourish, liked cooked with tomato sauce. Servings is small for a guy like me who can eat lah... It wont stuff you, and it wont make you hungry either. As for the nasi dagang, the rice was nice, but some pars of it tasted like it wasn't cooked with enough water (could be due to it being the top layer when being scooped from the rice cooker). The chicken was also decent only lah, not good enough for my standards.

However, if we talk about value for money, this is the cheapest meal we had in Jaya One so far... all the above for RM 25 only. Not too expensive. And yes we finally didn't have to go Nando's for a 2nd round of dinner, unlike the previous 2 times...

Ambience: 6/10
Taste: 5.5/10
Service: 6/10

Tappers cafe's service is extremely BAD!!! We have waited for more than 45mins for the meal and it never came and we kept on reminded the waitress to attend to our order but all she did is "Wait"…"Wait". All that we had then were the drinks which we completely finish within the waiting time (without meal). That was beside the point, the waitress told us that one of the meal is no longer available after 30mins and most of the customers who came in later got their meal even the table next to us got their meal less than 10mins. I emphasized to the waitress that we have been waiting for 30mins...40mins and by the 45mins (1:07pm to 1:52pm) we said we wanted to see the boss (by the way, there is a receipt printed with the time). Guess what the absurb boss just did, he waved away sulkily at us and the waitress told us needless to pay for the drinks without a word from the boss. The least that he could do is to apologize for the delay in the 1st place and asked if we would prefer to come another time. One advise, Never Visit Tappers cafe at JayaOne!
