Any feedback for MeiHao?

Hey ask you guys ah, do you mind if tingkats are not labeled with the food ready-to-eat-time? NEA require all packed meals and buffet to label with the time the food is cooked, and advice consumers to eat the food in 4 hours.

ACtually i rather not have the label cos most times by the time we get to eat, it has 'expired'.

Just finished CWST last week...on Kim's Kitchen this week. Was with Empire/LeXin previously for a year. We order for 2 pax but feed 2A1C

Comments on :
Empire : Other than days where its stuff like drum sticks, portion is quite ok. Taste wise quite ok too. Love the soup. Not cheapo stuff like fishball soup. No MSG. Usually I will finish up the soup and I'm not a soup person. But DH complain abt repetition and being sianz after 1 year...

CWST trial : Portion very small. Had to add on another dish of our own. But taste wise ok. Soup mainly cheapo type...

Kim's Kitchen : Portion ok...Dishes quite yummy. Soup can really taste MSG in it. I can only take a few spoonfuls before giving up.

Going to try Hilltop next week. Think I really ought to do my own cooking but the preparation time involved is what I don't really have.

Yes, I second that but they do not have delivery in all areas yet. One good thing about Eone is that they provide brown rice if you request, although a bit costly but still a healthier option.

We've tried Empire and stayed on for a year till we were sick of the food, subsequently tried Hilltop and one other but their cooking didn't suit our taste. So glad we found Eone, so far so good.

My mum had bad experience with Kelvin from Mom's Cooking. I read that he is the boss.

She ordered for Tingkat from this Kelvin, he said payment can be by Cheque or Internet Banking. Then my mum asked for the bank details, he MIA-ed. As it was close to the Tingkat start date already, my mum enquired what happen, is the order confirm or not and what is the bank account details. Below is his reply.


  \" Firstly, we are mom’s cooking pte ltd Not Mom’s Kitchen. Secondly I did not receive your email. Lastly, you are free to share whatever experience  you had.

 

Thanks U

Such company should be boycotted and close down, let the good and sincere ones survive!

while buffetparadize food is better than others...i must say that i am amazed at the sheer rudeness of the boss kelvin. i had an issue with 1 of the delivery and gave a call to clarify & gave my feedback. The intent was not to seek refund but clarifications. He felt that not only was he not in the wrong, he also need not make any apologies about his attitude! i said that for the amount of price i'm paying, I should at least get better customer service..and guess what he said 'sorry, i'm not obliged to provide excellent customer service' my god, the sheer arrogance! my blood really boiled after tt conversation...after dropping off the line, i was cursing and swearing to my colleagues and blaming myself for being so stupid as to pay him in full upfront...in fact i cursed him that he will walk into a wall and break 1 of his toes...my colleagues actually said tt I'm too nice! I have used other delivery service before..and honestly they will realy bend over backwards to see what they can do for you...in fact, I have to recommend this Jeslyn from Neo Gdn...she was really wonderful! but the quality of food can really vary..some days can be good, but some days can be really strange and pathetic looking....i really wun recommend any1 to try out buffetparadize...not worth your time giving such pp biz...i rather go back to neo or try someone else

Dear All

I was very angry the last few days.

I had been a customer with this company Buffet Paradise for Tingkat dinner for more than 1.5 yrs and hd recommended many friends to their service.

This company claimed to serve food LESS OIL, LESS SALT, NO MSG. Although their prices are amongst the most ex for tingkat dinner in Singapore, I hv chosen them cuz their food has no MSG as I'm a nursing mother and do not really hv time to cook dinner.

However, some months back, the taste of their food started to change and as I'm with them for quite some time, I tried not to be oversuspicious. However, recently, I get more and more thirsty after eating their food. Also my dd too. I started to feel unwell too.

I went to check their website. They hv secretly taken out the NO MSG clause in their site without informing their customers. I was very very upset cuz I'm currently pregnant with #2 and to imagine feeding both my babies with food full of MSG is devasting. I called up the company the next day and they confirmed my worst thought. They had been adding MSG since (god's knows when) claiming MSG helps to preserve food. I was furious, and I questioned why they didn't inform all the customers and they said the boss thought it's not important, anyway all TINGKAT dinner caterers add MSG. I was very very mad. I was so cheated and decepted being a longtime customer. one of the staff said she was instructed to tell customer only when they call to check about this MSG thing. And the staff said although they received some customers who had discovered about this quite some time back and some had felt sick after consuming their MSG food like diahhorea and vomiting because allergy to MSG, this Company continue to hide this fact. So I demanded to talk to the boss which called back and told me the exact same thing. He certainly didn't feel sorry about it. So I asked him so how do I trust his company who is also serving confinement food to mothers if they will add anything strange in the food, he said it's up to me.

To all friends whom I recommended their tingkat service, I'm sorry.
To all mothers who wants to use their confinement food or is using currently, PLS THINK TWICE as the company is obviously unethnical, dishonest and hungry for money.

================================================

these caterers share the same factory address but with different names. have you guys find out about this? the food may be prepared by same factory and sent out under different company names.

1) provide confinement food. also claimed that no MSG is used when it shared the same factory?
