Flooding in Bangsar... and one lousy "Coffee House" called One Station!

Flooding in Bangsar 


It's the first day of Hari Raya, traffic was rather light around Bangsar. Went to Nam Chuan restaurant in Lucky Gardens for the usual lunch. Got there and it started to rain. So decided to sit outside as my car was double parked. Didn't want to walk so far in the rain. Ordered the usual fried kuay teow and when the food got to me, the rain started pouring down heavier. At first, thought nothing of it but as I took my first bite I saw water rushing out from the drains. Slowly the water started to crawl all over the floor and what happened next was totally a shocker for me!

It's the first time I've seen it flood there. I've never seen a flood there in my 20 years of experience eating there. It was kinda scary as I was rushing against time to finish up my food before the flood got any higher. Had my feet lifted from the floor suspended on a plastic stool. With water levels rising each minute, it was like a race trying to see who wins, the water or me. Finished lunch, and managed to take a photo of the place with my cellphone. The water level you see there in the picture is the maximum level that the water reached. After that, it slowly subsided.

After that scene, there was no where else to go except home. Tested out Hitman Contracts for an hour. Testing turned out to be playing, hehehe. Kinda nice, assassinating for a living. Unfortunately that's a career that I can't consider in real life. Or can I?...

At night went to this lousy coffee place called One Station in Taman Connought. For heaven's sake, don't call yourself a coffee house if you don't plan to serve decent coffee. I ordered Ice Coffee from the menu since I was not in the mood for smoothies or milkshakes. A few minutes later, my drink arrived. It was black! If my friends know me well, they know that I DO NOT drink black coffee, or even order one in the first place! It wrote Ice Coffee, not Americano or Ice BLACK Coffee! I was taken back with the drink. To make things worst, imagine a tall ice espresso! How in the world does anyone expect one to drink that? It's a screwed up concoction left for people with very bad taste! My friends were saying that it's probably a 'special' drink that the place has come up with. I didn't know that they started redefining coffee in Malaysia! To make matters worst, I asked for milk and you know what? They cheekily charged me extra for it. I'm like, what the hell??? You write ice coffee in your menu and serve me black coffee. If Malaysia had better consumer laws and protection, I'd be writting a very long complaint letter by now. Hmm, or do they? I'll have to look it up. But take my advice, if you ever go to this so-called "Coffee House", don't drink the crap they call coffee there! I'd honestly rather prefer to drink coffee from the local chinese coffee shops that offer a more decent brew than the crap they serve there!
