Serious Moslem Customers Complain About Pathetic $19 Lobster Bun At Ramadan Bazaar! Actual Product Looks Shitty!

[JohnTan]

One of the more prominent stalls this year is BURP Live Station Catering, which sells lobster rolls and White Rabbit drinks.

And our previous review of it, extracted from our article:

“Chunks of lobster, a nicely toasted bun and a side of what tasted like cassava chips.

We enjoyed the bun and the lobster serving was generous, but the overall dish was slightly forgettable.

One obvious deterrent was its S$19 price tag for a large roll, although the stall appeared rather popular while we were there.

A regular-sized roll is S$12.

Verdict: Would pay S$9.90

Where to go: BURP Live Station Catering, WGSA G359″

“Regret” spending S$19
Unfortunately, since the bazaar’s start on May 3, a number of customers have found the lobster rolls unsatisfactory.

One Twitter user called it a “complete mess” and shared Facebook comments from disappointed customers:

Most felt that it wasn’t worth the money, what with the dry buns and small portions of unappealing lobster.

Update on May 9, 2019: In response to the article, BURP has apologised to its customers.

You can read their response in full here:

“We recently read your post about the food reviews given by the netizens on the lobster rolls.

We would like to reassure our customers that their feedbacks have been taken into account, and we sincerely apologize for the bad weekend delivery we had on our food items.

We truly apologize that the illustration on our merchandises and posters is not accurately representative.

We have decided to tweak our recipes, provide the proper training to our staff with regards to those changes as well as having a better timely response for customer feedback. Such feedbacks are important to us to improve.

We apologize once again for the inconvenience caused. We do hope we are able to regain our customers’ support and also to be able to redeem ourselves to serve good quality food to them.”

Update on May 10, 2019: BURP has released another apology addressed to their customers, for not meeting expectations.

They have also promised “significant improvement” in their service and food items.

You can read the statement in full here:

We would like to apologize to our customers for the bad service delivery of our food items at the Bazaar Ramadhan Geylang Serai during our first weekend of operation.

We truly regret not being able to meet up with our customers’ expectations. It is of no excuse for us to serve our customers with such quality and standards of food items.

Please do accept our sincere apologies. We truly regret our execution and actions.

We would like to reassure our customers that their feedbacks have been taken into account.

We will be making the necessary changes to ensure that there is a significant improvement in the standard of our food items and the service provided to our customers.

We apologise once again for the inconvenience caused. We do hope we are able to regain our customers’ support and also to be able to redeem ourselves to serve good quality food to them.

The Chinese are willing to pay $100 for lobster. This is cheap stuff.

Maybe the bazaar should have a hire purchase plan for this lobster bun too.....

 

[red amoeba]

Compared to the one charged in London, 19 bucks is cheap. At least it’s not a crab stick.

 

[A Singaporean]

PAP KEEP RAISING COST OF LIVING FOR SINKIES.

 

[Rogue Trader]

Lobsters used to be food for prisoners in the US until some genius seafood seller hyped it up. many people forgot lobsters are scum feeders.

hanor, the m&ds can also ask for the head instead of only the lobster tail - good for decoration in time for hrp.
pity that harvey, best denki, gain city, ikea etc don't stock these for a great centerpiece décor to go with the lontong

I doubt the lobster eatery has enough business from moslems to sustain their $19 ripoff bun. Business at the bazaar is not as good as in previous years because of the insistence of halal eateries only. It is obvious to all by now, moslems included, that the moslem shariah way of doing things only lead to economic and security decline. But we still have to do things the lousy shariah way because of the fragile moslem pride.

Spend $19 at pasar malam. Ahhaah

I dunno why anyone bother to fast in the first place, then curse when the food is bad.
There is nothing in muslim holy book that says you must fast. If they did, they would not have bern able to convert people from the atlantic to the pacific.

Chunky Lobsters better lah!!!!!!

Chunky Lobsters dangles an outrageous promise: 90 whole grams of premium marine crustacean flesh (harvested from cold Canadian waters) crammed into a brioche bun happening at an inconceivably affordable price. Yet this was once just a lofty romantic concept placed on the back burner for years, until founders Leonard and Chris resurrected it through a flurry of deals with seafood suppliers plus an initial outlay on a tiny shop space in Oxley Tower. From the look of things their F&B wager is paying off, given a sibling brand Chunky Crabs has also since opened for business in China Square as part of ongoing expansion efforts.

It was love at first sight during an incidental stroll past its outlet at The Cathay: diners seen blissfully feasting on rolls bursting at the seams with succulent lobster meat. A cursory glance at the digital menu display made our jaws drop: only $16 for one of those??? Now we were definitely sold, in addition to feeling hot and bothered on account of upsized expectations. Green light to lunch at Chunky Lobsters, yahoo.

But no mee rebus snd ikan bakar. Everything all foreign food nowadays.

 

[laksaboy]

So much for the pre-bazaar talk of limiting 'hipster' food.

hanor, people who are faster in everything they do in life do not need to fast - only the slower ones like the m&ds fast, as they need to rama-then to celebrate aidil fitri after they rama-done
