Happy faces at JC…

Posted on By Reedz

Ever wonder why some establishments thrive for decades while others close their doors after as little as six months? That’s the million dollar question… WHY? Well, to me, its all about getting everything to come together. Service, ambience, food, and plain good hospitality. JC is one of those establishments that has been around for a long time. They got the right formula.

Waiters that have super memories and get your orders right, the first time, WITHOUT writing them down. Specialties like roti kuning kawin, zeema kwayteow, hot buns, and a pretty decent teh tarik. Most importantly, that ambience which cannot be recreated elsewhere… the noise, the occasional smoker, the waiters’ shouting the orders… and the old man behind the counter… yes, those to me are the hallmarks of JC’s continued success 🙂

  1. Strange enough I was there a few days ago and asked the same question. hehee.. I agree with your analysis. They had the place going like clockwork….. and that is missing in some eateries.

  2. My hubby n i are also regular “friday morning” patrons of JC. Before we go for our bowling practice it’s a must breakfast at JC n we always see u n ur “shooting” gangs there hehe

  4. Pablo: thats right… perhaps some of these so called up-market eateries have a thing or two to learn from humble JC

    cdah: Bowling?? wahhh I havent bowled in a looooong time! Do wave and say hi next time 🙂

    Headache: awu eh! and bring exact change for your shirts hahaha

  6. InsyaAllah i’ll asked my hubby to wave n say hi for me next time we r in JC! 🙂

    Yesterday we had bowling tournament organised by UNISSA (Universiti Islam Sultan Shariff Ali) for higher institutions. My hubby n i were in the UBD staff teams n our teams were both no.1! 🙂

    Why dont u join us next time we bowl? hehe

  7. As in Seria, serving the same kind of food for decades and yet still popular. Other places focus on the wrong things.

  8. Jewelle: in Seria it’d have to be Soi Heng coffee shop for me 🙂 Jan still owes me a full breakfast there! Hahah

    syafiq: waaaahhh you know so many people ah!

  14. Ooooo.. Let’s not play this naming games please!!! Best to leave it to the discretion of the webmaster cos you won’t get a prize for doing so.

  16. lol hey, fine by me. its just that i see them too often that in my thinking it was ok. thanks for bringing me back to reality, it is quite a hectic life in the world of a reporter you know. =)
