Singapore’s ‘ rudest’ nasi ayam rigour owner is expanding his company, afterwards. Shafiie, who went viral after we profiled him in a magazine last year, is renowned as the straightforward user of Fiie’s Cafe on Lucky Plaza’s fifth floor.
Customers sheep to” Mr Grumpy’s” restaurant for his delicious fried chicken grain, but the danger is just as wonderful as the reward. People who do n’t abide by Shafiie’s guidelines, such as ordering before taking a seat, will be subject to severe reprimands from him.
However, the person, who has since opened an exit at Toa Payoh last September, received no harm from all the one-star Google opinions. Last Friday ( Apr 26 ), he soft- opened a new cafe channel called Mr Grumpy by Fiie’s Cafe at 43 Holland Drive, in the neighbourhood’s famous’ red masonry’ creating near Buona Vista MRT station.

Shafiie told 8days that he had looked at many locations, including Clementi, before choosing to live on Holland Drive because he saw potential in the office crowd that frequents the coffeehouse on weekdays.
Weekends are slower at his new barn, which he opened with two business colleagues. ” I opened on Friday so ( my kitchen team ) can settle in first”, shared Shafiie, who streamlined his operations by hiring dedicated staff for cashiering and cooking. You know when to drop by if you want to have a tray of chicken wheat without tiring with anyone.
However, the fickle manager will remain based at his landmark Happy Plaza restaurant, which his mother opened about 20 years back before he took control. ” People can sit anywhere in a coffeeshop, so they wo n’t get scolded by me lah”, he deadpanned.

” Aiyah, ownself say one lah”, Shafiie remarked. It’s good to put that away because it draws more customers in, my companions said.
