Order and waiting time (take away)
I was out of office and queuing after 3 ladies who do not know each other so I was the 4th in line at around 12:53pm. The 1st lady took a great deal of time but that's ok, the 2nd and 3rd one was handled really quickly by the young girl, I think her name tag read "Jocelyn". She appears to be a trainee simply because she was the only staff I have seen smiling at the counter (the others appeared dead faced and only become alive when they serve gwai lo's), so I was super patient. I think I got my food within 5 mins after she took my order. Today they appeared to be understaff, only 2 staff during lunchtime seems rare, they usually have at least 3 at the counter, sometimes 4 (or one of the extra one is just standing there to chat). So I think "Jocelyn" (not sure if I remembered correctly, honestly) did do a great job in clearing the line and reheating the food.
O and for one of the 2018 reviews about the rude male staff, I dunno if it is still the same one, but I always choose not to go inside when I see the male staff there. Simply because I feel that he doesn't want us there either. Just a gut feeling.
So the food...

They also have a miniature (or should I say downsized?) version of the curry beef puff at some maxim's bakery shop for $11, though you have to reheat it somewhere else, plus an old lady at the cashier, haha...

Black Tea with Ruby Grapefruit & Honey ($40 for venti)
I ordered grande size this time and I do not have a photo, but anyone with just a little imagination can picture lemon tea without the lemon right? Well good, you have just successfully visualized this drink! This drink is made out of mixing condensed syrup with tea and can either be served cold and hot. I usually don't like drinks made out of condensed syrup, because this kind of drinks appears to be a cheat and rip off.... but wait, dont get me wrong, I still like both cold and hot versions. The cold version is already stirred and tend to have less sweetness comparatively to the hot one. The hot one comes with a teabag and nearing the bottom of the cup, you can see and taste the unmixed remains of the syrup which is ultra sweet... I could even pour more hot water in it to make another half cup and still taste the same, scary, but I still like it... which is even more scarier...
Did I get a stomach-ache?
No, actually I was a bit worried about the cheesecake, but I turned out fine!

题外话/补充资料：
Well if you don't like the staff there, just dont go there when any of them is there, you don't have to go to starbucks everyday right? Though I still go there every week.. and for the staff who doesn't want to serve, go get a better education/ job. Just do it for your mum, even if not for yourself.
