Disappearing and weird staff @ 恭和堂

It is not like me to get drinks from this place, but I saw this murky lime coloured drink in one of the five dispensers so went over to see what it was.
I thought it was going to be cane juice but it was lemon and barley.
The rest of the four dispensers where traditional Chinese herb drinks which I do not drink.

Anyway, I ordered a cup of lemon and barley, and one of the assistants got a paper cup and put it it under the dispenser, filled it and left!
I was left wondering if the drink was ready or not!
Then another rude assistant came over to see why I was waiting at the entrance so I passed her the $9 which was the cost of the drink.
All she did was take the $9 and left, she didnt even ask what it was for.
She did not even pass me my drink.

Since I had already paid for the drink, it seemed legal to collect it the cup from the dispenser!

Overall the drink was OK, there was not any taste of any preservatives.
I felt the drink was slightly thick, but perhaps because there was not much left in the dispenser, so it was only residue.

The only let down was the strange service.

Although the customer service was poor, perhaps POLAM town is too urban, the people do not seem to have a concept of OpenRice or food reviews, they were highly suspicious and unfriendly when photos of the surroundings and drinks were taken!
This is probably why there are not any reviews on this place or restaurants around this area which are quite local and do not have branches in the city.

Cane juice pudding from Central's Kung Lee? @ 砵仔王

Previously I got the bottled cane juice, which seemed to come from Kung Lee according to the label.
This time I walked past, I saw Cane juice jello for $5 so I got two pieces.
Since the juice had a Kung Lee label, I wondered if the pudding was also from Central's Kung Lee as well.

The texture of this pudding was softer than Kung Lee's, it was translucent like jelly, which makes sense the shop labelled it as JELLO.
It was much smoother and not lumpy like the one in KL, the taste was just as good as Kung Lee's and the sweetness was just right.
HOWEVER on my second visit, the sweetness was inconsistent, it was too sweet.
I also got the black sesame jello but I did not like it because it was too sweet and had grounded black sesame in it.
But in general I do not like black sesame or Chinese desserts anyway.
