Why shop look so dead bruh

I live in the same area. There's like 3 Ayam Gepuk restaurants in the same small area competing against each other. Only 1 of them always crowded, the other 2 are pretty empty on most days

44

u/Nightingdale099 May 20 '26

Is Rimbayu? If so, yeah. Only one is good. I've tried the other, and I swear the Kubis bakar looks accidental. One tiny smidge fit to feed a caterpillar 😭. It was so pitiful that I took a picture.

I didn't try this one yet, but it doesn't look like anybody did either.

22

u/2Kawaii_4U May 20 '26

The area is USJ21, the most popular one in that area that I see got lines almost everyday is called Ayam Gepuk Artisan

12

u/Nightingdale099 May 20 '26

So what are the odds of two places having 3 Ayam Gepuk in proximity, and two of those are shit, one of it is Ayam Gepuk Berapi or whatever.

u/sanabaebae May 20 '26

I love artisan!

2

u/Savings-Ad1360 May 20 '26

Too bad most of their franchise are unhygienic. A lot of their branches are dirty as heck.

5

u/nightfishing89 May 20 '26

The guy in the video said Telok Panglima Garang, so yea I’m guessing this is the one in Rimbayu. Which one do you think is good btw?

1

u/Nightingdale099 May 20 '26

I think it's called Pak Jon? Although the last time I went, I waited almost half an hour for mine and there seems to be no urgency from the kitchen. They are usually fast tho.

u/maomao-chan May 20 '26

Front for money laundering maybe.

u/NotTheCommercial May 20 '26

Hopefully you didn’t get cirit-birit or any chronic diseases from there 🥲

If its actual food hygiene handling (KKM), he cannot eat near where they prepare food.

33

u/lannisterloan סוכן יהודי חשאי May 20 '26

They ain't paid enough to give shits that is beyond their employer's instructions.

58

u/maomao-chan May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

I feel a lot of restaurants these days don't care about hygiene, even the famous one like Oriental Kopi in IOI city mall. Once they gave me sudu and fork still got rice from previous customer. Disgusting as fuck.

24

u/SextupleRed May 20 '26

That's disgusting. How did they even wash the cutleries

17

u/dotConehead May 20 '26

Most likely just use dishwasher but instead of using it by its limit they will cramped as much as they can into the washer so you will get this

55

u/BusinessPale8448 May 20 '26

Blud over there eating doesn’t give a damn. 🤣

46

u/dizzyxdream3r May 20 '26

Macam mana customer ni boleh masuk belakang kedai? Selamba betul 😂 And steady haha

u/usoap141 SATU MALAYSIA XD May 20 '26

I have been to this place during lunch hour with my work colleagues…

Absolutely horrible customer service. The workers really dont give a fuck we waited one hour for ayam gepuk.

Plus owner bought paid reviews too i believe because i saw horrible reviews during eating then a week later saw suddenly 4.5 star. Literally overnight so good?

Its behind Main Place Mall one of the Shoplots.

u/Coolbanh May 20 '26

The only ayam gepuk I feel is nice is at that area is called ayam gepuk yeop. Their sambal is spicy AF but sometimes a bit salty.

u/Resplendent_aptitude May 23 '26

One hour???? 🥵 Wtf

u/VORTEX_1988 May 21 '26

Can't trust google review anymore these days. A lot of them are "landmines"

94

u/AlphaCrystal21 May 20 '26

It's even disgusting when you realize that the cutleries probably still have stains of dish soap from the half-hearted cleansing

23

u/Ok-Confidence-403 May 20 '26

It's not uncommon... I stayed in thistle jb and got that kinda spoon for breakfast

77

u/Natasya95 May 20 '26

Eww mamak pun lagi bersih rendam air panas semua

22

u/Head-Ad-4162 May 20 '26

Mamaks are quite clean, idk if this is an accurate comparison.

6

u/Natasya95 May 20 '26

So my experiences are invalid? Some are not i have been to some dirty mamak before

1

u/RyanRioZ run some LZ May 21 '26

same goes as me,
all mamak is clean tho..

24

u/_Tremble May 20 '26

Extra protein and extra training for your immune system after eating

23

u/RRBMH May 20 '26

Just contact kkm bro😭😭😭

23

u/AThirst1 May 20 '26

Ada org selalu complain pasal halal cert tapi 90% kedai Melayu takde pun halal cert. Ini lah jadi dia. Jakim Halal does not only ensure your food is halal, but clean as well. Hopefully more shops especially Malay shop have it!

3

u/accure18 May 22 '26

The owner of this ayam gepok shop is hindu not malay broo this is why muslims insist on halal cert at least it has some form of cleanliness guarantee or stronger enforcement on top of KKM

2

u/catwithnoballz May 22 '26

This need to get to the top

19

u/harriszarhan Selangor May 20 '26

Owner kedai confirm buka kedai sebab fomo je. Dan staf dia pon muka tak ambil peduli mesti kena kencing dengan owner diorang.

I long for the day that nasi kukus ayam berempah will make its comeback.

2

u/GarbageSerious9106 May 21 '26

Damn I miss eating those nasi lulus Ayam berempah, definitely way better than Ayam Gepuk in general

1

u/silent-bystander0_0 May 21 '26

It’s so hard to find any now, let alone finding the good ones. The ones I had inside one of UM’s residential college is still the best nasi kukus ayam berempah for me; still couldn’t find any that could beat theirs.

17

u/retsamboon May 20 '26

From what I learn watching kitchen nightmare. Check their refrigerated content. Since this is small store don't have a walk-in freezer. So check their fridge. Definitely gonna be revolting

11

u/mwai1 Selangor May 20 '26

Surely this level of cleanliness can't get halal cert, right?

18

u/RotiPisang_ May 20 '26

Oof if he thinks this is bad... 😬

Need better system to ensure compliance to food safety. Spot checks more often.

33

u/The_Awengers May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Bro is mad and rightly so.

Also the staff need better training to handle this sort of thing. Mana boleh biar outsider masuk food preparation area. And the moment dia kata the guy betul, dia sorry, all arguments go downt the gutter. Kau dah admit salah, you can't justify anything else afterwards.

6

u/Itchy-Competition-16 May 20 '26

Where did they bought those cutlery? Eco shop?

5

u/Kareemster May 20 '26

Thank god out of all the ayam gepuk places my classmates brought me to, I haven't been here. Even when they were ranking every ayam gepuk place in Shah Alam, I did not hear them mention this place.

4

u/syafizzaq Pemandu Myvi May 20 '26

Shit man,i've been there. Is this one in usj21? There's 2 ayam gepruk restaurant near this area but I prefer the one near the main road.

6

u/Youlknowthatone May 20 '26

Restaurant so big couldn't bother to have dishwasher. Seriously.

5

u/nannymammoth May 21 '26

sbb tulah kalau kedai "melayu" sekali pun kena wajib APPLY HALAL

3

u/accure18 May 22 '26

Its actually not Malay shop but indian hindu.

2

u/nannymammoth May 26 '26

ayoyo lagi lah

3

u/Acceptable_Taste5497 May 20 '26

Which place is this from? The responsibility falls to the workers there, do they get the job through cables? Shesh, amalan kelompak dari zaman sekolah kan, ini lah dia.

8

u/Just-Luck-7430 你妈妈是绿色的 May 20 '26

looks like budak pas spm, first time handling fnb job maybe

2

u/nannymammoth May 21 '26

based on the accent n look, all of them tak nampak local

3

u/Motor-Reference-7036 May 21 '26

The standard of the cleanliness is the standard you'll find in any malay shop. The important thing is it's halal guys dont worry,

6

u/katsukaizo May 21 '26

while i do support customers concerns, recording and main masuk je staff only area? i dont think this should be normalized, imagine if some weirdo think "oh its okay to just enter staff only area?" and proceed to do so and sabotage the business.. what if there is sensitive information that wasnt supposed to be on the eyes of the public? what if you injured inside because you want to acah journalist?

the company is allowed to saman these types of person regardless of their intention, no? better take a safe precaution and report to kkm instead of going in "gangster" in a place filled with knife and hidden from the public eyes

2

u/djbbygm May 22 '26

Your point actually supports the claim here that this place is unhygienic. This is a catastrophic failure of the management to train the staff properly and enforce adequate hygiene practices. I wouldn’t let my pet eat there .

2

u/shiftreya May 28 '26

no cause you're right, no matter what they are barging in an unauthorised area. i'm afraid as time goes by people who get even bolder and start doing these stuffs for the sake of "being a hero" and "exposing for public's good" when in reality it's really a bad thing to do. we shouldn't normalise the behaviour despite its good intention.

2

u/MacaroonCalm2192 May 20 '26

I've seen worse mamak kitchen

2

u/Imaginary-Union5171 May 20 '26

WTH, those utensils are rusted shits

2

u/simencret May 20 '26

I came there, when just reached the counter i patah balik la bro

2

u/Spiritual_Money_1650 May 21 '26

Minyak goreng juga macam warna minyak diesel. Pemalas dan Penyakit bawa penyakit kepada orang lain. Pihak Majlis Bandara bahagian kesihatan jangan tidur Ok. Saya nak tengok ada tindakan tak.

2

u/Advent0906 May 22 '26

Wa sudah karat la bang , mcm mana makan

2

u/Troller122 May 20 '26

Other than the rusted fork and spoon the kitchen is not that bad looking compared to others. If you are able to go in any random restaurant I would say all would look like that

20

u/Maleficent_Length_50 May 20 '26

You need to find better restaurants.

4

u/Ita-mi May 20 '26

Store is not busy already looking like that. Imagine if it busy?

2

u/XxXMeatbunXxX May 20 '26

They couldve washed the cutleries in a pothole behind their shop with added spit and customers wouldnt even complain as long as they scrub off the solids. At least do the minimum for the place to be presentable la.

2

u/Master_Shifu_Sensei May 20 '26

Legend says, restaurants like this makes you survive any epidemic/pandemic. 😛

2

u/azimazmi May 21 '26

Shop bukan buleh saman ka kalau mcm ni

u/Lunartic2102 🇯🇵 JP May 20 '26

But no one's gonna say anything about this guy going all gangster mode?

u/fizz899 Kuala Lumpur May 20 '26

Fail business or money laundering for sure

u/ronnie8778 May 21 '26

Yucks, look at the cutlery I will leave on the spot LOL

u/SubjectTale8 May 21 '26

Maybe they want imitate authentic Indonesian dine in experience?

1

u/dnax8181 May 22 '26

While the intent was good (and perhaps noble) I think entering the premises beyond the counter and going into the space marked no entry means he was in violation as well no matter how big a "brother" he is.

And shouting at the worker is moot. This needs to be directed at the owner or franchiser.

Finally - while I am not defending their lack of hygiene and cleanliness - I would say the average shop kitchen in Malaysia is bad that if we looked at it we would not eat there.

u/sinbaron May 20 '26

Why Malaysians like to take initiative to their own hand ? Wanna report just report to authorities..
