Waiting time aside.. since it's packed with most high schoolers, i am frequently amazed and yet disappointed at how many people rate this place.

Personally i have nothing against the establishment, as they found a niche that they can build a long term business on. It is an old name that has survived and thrived. I just wonder how was the food back then?

All i can say is how the food is at the present. It's not good. It's not exactly cheap either. It's not expensive at the same time. The prices are standard for localized versions of a poor man's western food.

For less than 10RM, you usually get stuff like starched sauces, bland soups from powder, cheap cut of meats, frozen fish fillets, some fries on the side and a "salad" that is really a few pieces of sad looking vege with some oversweet excuse for a dressing. Don't even get me started on the lousy mayonese.

If you're from Malaysia, that's what you get.

But this place, it's worse. The food are sorry pieces of meat, overcooked, cold and dry. Might as well eat a piece of raw leather drenched in lots of starched sauce. It's bad. Really really bad.

I'm sorry. I can't stand here and see all these "reviewers" probablt mislead people like me.

You see, i'm not from Penang. Moved here for work some time ago. People "reviewed" James Foo to be the bomb in this cheap localized western food arena. I tried it a few times, trying to give myself an excuse to believe them.

Each time was worse than the previous. Out of the many "reviewers" that favor the place and i won't judge them, i just hope the ones that read this, maybe some of you escaped the hype and didn't have to waste your time and money on this place.
