Swee Hing Restaurant — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Certainly! Here’s a 500-word bad review for a chicken rice restaurant, focusing specifically on hygiene concerns:

Rating: 1/5 – Disgusting Hygiene and Unacceptable Standards

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but my experience at [Restaurant Name] was so bad that I felt compelled to warn others, especially when it comes to hygiene. I visited this place expecting a simple, satisfying meal of chicken rice, but what I encountered was far from acceptable in terms of cleanliness, food safety, and overall hygiene.

From the moment I walked in, I had a bad feeling. The entrance was cluttered, with trash bags piling up near the door. While it wasn’t directly in the dining area, it gave a really poor first impression. I tried to shake it off, but things only got worse once I was seated. The table was sticky, with old food residue visible along the edges. I had to ask the server to clean it, and even then, they just wiped it down hastily with a dirty cloth, leaving streaks behind. The cloth they used also smelled musty, which made me question how often it’s actually washed.

As I looked around, I noticed the condition of the restaurant was concerning. The floors were sticky in places, and the walls had visible grime buildup near the corners. The condiment station was especially disturbing—there were old, dried-up sauce stains on the counter, and the sauce containers looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in days. I also spotted some flies hovering around the area, which is a serious red flag for food safety. If they can’t keep the condiments clean, what else is slipping through the cracks?

I decided to try and ignore the unsanitary surroundings and focus on the food, hoping it would redeem the experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t. When my chicken rice arrived, I was shocked at the poor presentation. The chicken, though lukewarm, appeared to have been carelessly handled. There was an odd, greasy film on the plate, which immediately raised concerns. Upon closer inspection, I noticed some bits of chicken had an unappetizing, slimy texture, and a faint, sour smell. I couldn’t help but wonder if the chicken had been improperly stored or mishandled. At this point, my appetite was gone, but I took a few bites just to assess the quality.

The rice was equally unappealing. Aside from being bland, it had a strange, almost rancid aftertaste, and I began to feel uneasy about eating anything further. I had to stop midway through the meal, as I started to suspect that something wasn’t right with the food. To make matters worse, when I went to the restroom to wash my hands, the condition was appalling. There was soap spilled all over the sink, and the floor was wet and slippery. The toilet paper was low, and the entire space had a musty smell, which made me even more uncomfortable.

I couldn’t help but feel disgusted and uneasy throughout my entire visit. The lack of attention to hygiene and cleanliness is not just a minor issue—it’s a major problem, especially when it comes to food. It’s clear that [Restaurant Name] doesn’t prioritize basic standards of sanitation, and that’s something that can’t be overlooked in any food establishment.

All in all, I will never return to this restaurant, and I strongly urge others to think twice before dining here. No matter how good the food might be, if the place isn’t clean and doesn’t follow proper hygiene practices, it’s simply not worth the risk.

This review highlights serious hygiene concerns at the restaurant, detailing cleanliness issues in both the dining and restroom areas, as well as questionable food safety. Let me know if you’d like...

Kopitiam serves usual things like Pork Noodles, Prawn Noodles, Chee Cheong Fun, Loh Mee, Chicken Rice, etc. Closes by 2pm but half of the stalls are closing by 1pm.

Atmosphere: 4🌟 3 shop slots and 1 section with air conditioning, very nice and rare for Kopitiams. That section is a bit tight but the other 2 are spacious.

Food: Wantan Noodle 3.25 🌟 Food: Dumpling/Sui Gao 3.75🌟 Noodle and sauce is normal, not oily and not too soft. Dumpling is very fragrant with a secret spice mix into the pork meat which also seems fresh, very nice. Priced at Rm 8.

Food: Loh Mee 3.5🌟 It's not bad, the noodle is homemade which is similar as normal noodles used on Loh Mee with exception that it doesn't have that 'gan sui' taste. Similar thickness and texture but super smooth. The broth is of not much flavour, good thickness/starchiness and will need the vinegar to add more flavour. Nice silly not overcooked egg bits are all over the broth. Doesn't have much ingredient other than 1 big prawns and few bits of minced pork which seems a bit overcooked but slightly smooth due starch as well. Priced at Rm 11

Food: Pork Noodle (Dry) 3.25🌟 The a stall is outside area and it's "Sam Kan Zong" type of pork balls. Hor Fun thin and smooth, and sauce is quite ok. Comes with minced meat and 3 pork balls which is quite nice. Soup is flavourful but with some pepper and msg. Priced at Rm 10

Food: Mee Kolok 3.5🌟 Sarawak style noodle. The noodle is similar to WanTan noodle but it has hard texture, which I like. The sauce is not black/dark but flavourful. Maybe sesame oil with some pepper. It has some minced pork which has strong sauce flavour, you should mix with the noodle or chasiu. About 6+ slices of lean chasiu/BBQ pork which isn't the dark brown but bright red colour marination. The soup that comes with has some vege flavour I think but overall full of pepper and msg. Priced at Rm 9

Food: Popiah 3.5🌟 Had the seaweed/nori normal version as the crispy one sold out. Basically the soft wrap is changed to seaweed and the ingredients is robably the same. Very crunchy ingredients including some carrots, quite a bit of "sengkuang", a lot of crispy bits (fried flour probably), some dried floss and cheat ingredient mayo. Priced at Rm 8

Food: Fish Paste Noodle 3.5🌟 Noodle 3.25🌟, Broth 3.5 🌟, Paste 3.25🌟 Bee Hoon is the usual one, nice hard texture. About 5 Fish Paste, it's okay. Also has 2 slices of abalone, not sure if it's real 😅 Broth colour is a bit different than usual but taste is pretty quite good after few more sips. Priced at Rm 14.

Food: Pasembur/Mamak Rojak 3.25🌟 This is Northern Malay style Rojak. Has finely sliced cucumber, turnip/jincama, bean sprouts, white/water & fried tofu/bean curd, cuttlefish, potatoes, hard boiled egg, deep fried tofu (taupok). Feels like a lot of things are going on as some ingredients are crunchy/raw/fresh, some feels fishy and the sauce is spicy and a bit sweet with peanuts. Priced at Rm 9

Drinks: Loh Hon Goh 3.25 🌟 Pretty good herbal taste...

3.5 for average? You gotta be kidding me. I think this has to do with age-base, If you’re like me, love tea and kopi like those nice uncle and “dear” aunties, you would appreciate the greatness of such.

The egg-tart is state of the art, the lady boss sits there and watching your every action is unmatched by other kopitiam which don’t give a damn about your wellbeing, felt like a motherly concern found in home, and making you full like how your grandma feeds you.

The food here, the recent additions of “black white noodles” is incredibly good, exceeding expectations for usual pork noodles found in KL.

But not to say everything is good, the char kuey teow is only good when they’re not busy, if they are, it’s a no-no. The crowd, lovely people and uncles aunties, everyday is a birthday party here, this place is so damn crowded, you’ll be amazed. Having conversation with lovely people (although our conversation topic only consist of “can I share the table”) but it was still, a lovely act of kindness.
