🏎🟀💨 Fast & Furious: Kopitiam Edition (The 25-Minutes Challenge) 💨🏎🟀
POV: It was saturday peak hour brunch, full house, and the kitchen was rocking. A customer ordered a freshly made order, a western meal but expected to be served on the table in 15 minutes… 🫣🔥
Looked back at the thrilling scene from last Saturday's brunch peak hour! 🔥🔥
A mother brought her daughter (who looked around 20 years old) to "recharge." They ordered our freshly toasted garlic bread, a freshly grilled chicken chop with freshly stir fry carbonara, and an instant blended coconut ice. 🤤
⏰ Clock hits 19 minutes (it was her turn, and we were cooking it...) :
The mother suddenly spoke very loudly with chinese accent:
“Lady boss! Is it ready yet?! Why is it so late? Why does it take so long ah? It should be very fast one..My daughter is rushing for class at 12 PM!” 📢💨⏰ I was thinking if this meal is preheat from oven or pre-cook, it can be done within 15minutes. We pretty understand that if you were rushing on time, waiting for 5 minute was like waiting for an hour.
At that moment, countless pairs of eyes instantly looked onto us. On the outside, I looked calm, but inside, I was terrifying like crazy! 😱 How am I supposed to explain this?? We... we were really doing it right now!
My mind instantly flashed to that recent viral AirAsia incident involving a Chinese passenger... Oh my gosh! I definitely don’t want to go viral all over Malaysia because of a plate of spaghetti !! 😭
🍳 Clock hits 24 minutes (Our chef’s hand speed had reached its absolute limit, ready for plating):
The customer: “Forget it! We want to cancel the order!” ❌😱
Me (internally bleeding): “Sister, it’s almost ready! Give us just 1 more minute!”
(In my heart: If you cancel right now, not only do we lose money, but our chef will literally hide in the kitchen corner and cry~ 💔)
To avoid becoming an overnight viral sensation and to save our food costs, the entire team instantly switched into Olympic sprinter mode! 🥇🏃♂️💨 Ultimately, in 25 minutes, a full set of piping-hot, freshly cooked western food was perfectly served on their table!
💡 Friendly Reminder from Orange Kopitiam:
We are incredibly honored to be the "fuel station" for your children before they head to class! However, we firmly insist on cooking everything fresh to order, and during the peak weekend rush, the kitchen genuinely needs a little bit of time.
If you are rushing for time, please remember to spare some time for your next visit ~ Otherwise, eating too fast isn't good for the stomach. 😉❤️🩹
Today, who wants a plate of freshly cook grilled Chicken Chop Carbonara that is packed with the boss lady's "a will to survive" and the chef's "at extreme speed"? 👇
