Disappointing Kopi Club

It has been few months back since I last visited Kopi Club, a cafe restaurant located in Plaza Lowyat that serves local delights. I normally go for their 'nasi ayam goreng panas with coffee'. I like the taste of their fried chicken, big whole leg serving and a choice of coffee or tea for only RM12.90 (excluding service charge).

Today, I feel like having fried chicken and went for the it. Such a disappointing decision made. The service was bad, price gone up and portion shrink. The staffs, most of them were arrogant and ignorance to the customers. The price for my 'used-to-be' favourite nasi ayam goreng panas with coffee is now RM14.50 before service charge (have to pay for that kind of service?!); and lastly, the fried chicken...much smaller and it doesn't taste like how it used to be.

Well, we don't mind if the price increases due to costs, but can they maintain the quality or, at least more pleasant to the customers?! What say you?
