Asiantravel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I turned up at the place again tonight knowing that it normally closes on Monday and I was gobsmacked that there was a sign saying it was closed between 26th of February to 7 March. This is beyond a joke. I simply don't believe this place deserves my patronage anymore no matter how good the food is. You can't run a restaurant business this way and hope to generate customer loyalty Edited March 6, 2013 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Thank you for letting us know that they will be reopening 8 February! You don't want to eat there when they ARE open? Your loss, mate. I don't see why every non-essential business needs to follow bourgeois expectations about how often they are supposed to be open, how often they are supposed to be closed. They're open when they're open. When they're not open, nobody is starving. Is this is a very eccentric way to operate a restaurant? Yes, it bloody well is, and so what? Very CHARMING I think. So don't think of it as a restaurant. Think of it as a cultural experiment in people's boring hangups about opening times. Yes, the food is good! Otherwise, I wouldn't be discussing this amusing situation. Edited March 6, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 " You don't want to eat there when they ARE open? " what do you mean ? You just announced that they don't deserve your business because you are displeased that they are not open often enough. It is true they have been closed a lot. I find it irrational that if you like their food that you wouldn't want to eat there WHEN they are open just to punish them. I think you'd be punishing yourself (if you like their food).

I mean, why make the effort to travel to the restaurant not knowing whether it's going to be open or not . So the way I think is don't get hooked on it any more because it is not going to be there for long, even if it does reopen.

But loyalty is a two way thing. In this case the they simply take their customers for granted and that's when I walk away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) It's interesting that a few people that basically don't even eat at PAO seem so dedicated to (in my view unfairly) DISS the place and the hard working owners (when they're there). For others, please ignore the obviously biased bile and I suggest you try the place yourself if you love Chinese food ... and form your OWN opinion. Cheers.

Cheers.So you're saying essentially that you don't mind if you waste your time travelling somewhere and then find the place is closed, not once but repeatedly? I think that is a different issue than whether the food is good, the price is fair, and whether the same type and quality of their food is sold elsewhere in town. You've whined about this how many times? I think the message has been transmitted. People who love their food enough have found a way to cope with the opening times and find ways to find out when they are going to be open or not. There are plenty of other places to eat in the area so I hope it wasn't too much of a hardship. Nobody is making you eat there or making you try to eat there; if the opening time thing is too much bother for you, that's your choice, but is it really necessary to trash this place for everyone else, including people who haven't even tried it yet? I don't think that is fair, I think it is actually malicious. Before you expressed concern on how the owners could make a profit being closed so often. May I ask, WHY do you care? Are you invested?

I don't think it is fair to launch a vendetta against any local business like this, much less a worthy one like PAO that many people enjoy very much. If it's not your cup of tea, fine, don't go there, of course comment about what you don't like, but this seems to be an agenda for you.

Obviously from your comments, your time is not valuable and you even seem to think it's a bit of a novelty to turn up at their door and find that it's closed more often than its open. I don't think many people think like you do 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fgis Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Even if I don't mind to go there and see it closed once more (managed to eat there only twice since they "exist") I do not feel like to deal with animals who cannot say hello or sorry. This guys sent 2 messages here and was not even able to say hello or sorry once. I know that in the jungle where he comes from it is acceptable but it seems that he still have a lot to learn from foreigners if he want business with them ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
