Montez Sandwich Cafe @ Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur

I happened to visit a friend who was admitted to Institut Jantung Negara this morning. Since I was a little too early for the visitation hours, decided to hit their Food Court for breakfast as that would help to kill some time and by the time I am done, it would be just nice to visit him in the ward. 

At The Food Court

Food Court
The Food Court is located on the new wing, very close to the multi tier car park. There are just five stalls here. Three that sell food right from morning, one that sells mixed rice catering particularly for the lunch crowd and another one selling drinks. Having had limited choices, only three vendors were my options. One was a vegetarian stall, the other was one selling noodles and the third one would be a western food outlet. The place was packed with people but fortunately tables were available. The place was also very clean and air conditioned with free WiFi. One thing is that all the stalls here only operate from 7 to 7. So, there is definitely no place within this hospital for people to have dinner or supper.

Decided To Go For Some Western Breakfast

Sandwiches

Puffs
They had a good variety but prices were definitely steep. Not a place for common man to have his meal. Manned by a majority of Indonesian staffs, the place was buzzing with customers who had to wait ages to get their meal. It took me a while to register my orders too as she kept scratching her head a number of times before keying in my orders. Finally, having successfully done that, I was told to wait for a few minutes for my orders to be ready. Few minutes became ten and then twenty and finally when I was about to loose my fuse, it was ready. Imagine those pregnant people who had to just stand and wait the same length of time, I felt truly sorry for them. After all, mine should have not taken so long as it was not a main dish. Just some toasts which should have been prepared in a matter of minutes. Staffs not competent or insufficient hobs. Moreover, being in business this long, they should know the trend and prepare some of those before hand. Would that be such a difficult task? Just not sure which was the case. Finally when I got my dishes, I was utterly put off. Will tell you shortly why that happened.

Such A Flimsy Knife
Being a place that serves roasts and burgers, they should have proper cutlery. Yes, the fork and spoon were metal ones but the knife? It was the easily breakable, flimsy type that I just hate. Luckily I did not order a main meal and I felt truly sorry for those that had. I am very certain that they would have given up eating the correct manner and would have resorted to using their hands. Such a shame. 

Egg On Toast @ RM 4.00

Fried Egg And Not Scrambled Ones

Toast

Weird Looking Cucumber Slices
The first dish that I ordered was Egg on Toast and this was premium priced at RM 4.00 per set. There were just two slices of toast bread, some fried eggs and two thinly sliced cucumbers. The picture shows scrambled eggs and what I got was this weird looking fried egg. Come on guys, being run and owned by a culinary trained individual from a reputable French institution, this should not have happened. I did not ask for Fried Eggs and Toast. I asked for Eggs on Toast and well, literally you are right but definitely not technically. At least should have given me eggs with cream or cheese. That would have been something that I would have accepted. Had she, the owner not transferred the knowledge adequately? The toast too was not great. It was just mediocre. A big regret ordering this and definitely not worth the price. I would rate this at 3/10 . That's about the best that I would give.

Two Slices Cut Into Halves

Honey
Also priced at RM 4.00 , this came with two slices that were cut into halves and some honey on the sides. Anytime better than the previous dish but still not good. Sorry, I am just fussy with food, whether paid by myself or even one that I am treated to. The bread should have been dipped deeper into the beaten eggs as another name for this is eggy bread. That was a major concern but fortunately, honey was my saviour. Just passable and I would rate this at 6/10 . For this, I am okay with paying the price of RM 4.00 .

The first dish that I had was truly disappointing but the second one was okay. A humble request to the management would be to better train their staffs on crowd management and also to make available metal knives for customers' convenience. I truly hope that improvisations are done and customers' would experience better engagement and food in future.

    敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
