Tigerwoods Turbocharged June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 (edited) Depends lah. If you go to cheap restro, confirm need to book because everyone flocks there. Want to eat, then go to the better ones. Weekdays will be ok. Weekends may need to book. Rental as always will kill off a lot of businesses. No choice when landlords suck them dry. Increase prices too much and patrons disappear from stores. Nothing they can do but to close shop. A lot of trades are gone because of that. Now a lot of retail shops in HK also feeling the heat with less mainland chinese nowadays. I think it's good cos a lot of them were so cocky [laugh] Recently I had dinner at Lei Garden at Shatin Plaza with my customers after meetingThe food is good and the prices are cheaper than Sgp Lei Garden. I was told the rental in Shatin Plaza is higher than TST or HKG island now is it true? I also like the Fairwood Steamboat Shabu shabu meal value for money too and hope someone bring it to Sgp Edited June 25, 2014 by Tigerwoods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the Fairwood Steamboat Shabu shabu meal value for money too and hope someone bring it to Sgp Lei Garden at Shatin is not so good. Go to the one at Mongkok better but more crowded there and tables a bit more crammed. Shatin one is actually at New Town Plaza and it's under Sun Hung Kai so rental is expensive. There was a revamp a few years back so that pushed up rental even more. With the explosion of mainland chinese tourists in HK the past few years, you can imagine what landlords will do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first TimHoWan experience is in Olympic city and no Qs. Prices are cheaper and the PAO taste better then the Bedok Point store Lei Garden at Shatin is not so good.

Toothiewabbit Supersonic June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 (edited) GSS now? Didnt see much sales really with low price le?modus operandi for most shops same same - discounts given on selected or dated items only. But if you happen find something you really like has, say 50% discount, then its GSS for you lp . Edited June 25, 2014 by Toothiewabbit 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 GSS? like very quiet n dead. not much hoohaa on GSS anymore. we can get discounts all yr round. Today, went to Watson, supposed to have member discount gala. Went to ask how much does this Cetaphil cream cost. They told me $14+ is already discounted price. Watson thinks I am stupid? $14+ is the usual price. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 frankly I can't imagine myself coming to Sgp to shop. Our prices are so high it makes better sense for a tourist to go elsewhere . Our Hotel rates are more expensive than Hkg. What happened ? 1 word : Landlord. Land of LANDLORDS ! FTW They will kill every business and entrepreneurship eventually. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 Knee jerk effect. All started because of MBS. @ Orchard Road - When my next door neighbor (MBS) have such good returns on rental, i will try to market 75% of theirs. So everyone follow the same and when everything stable abit, MBS upped price further more as they are the market leader. Rounds after rounds, it wasn't peaked but due to a political shift (which we didn't expect & relied so much on tourism trade) in China, everyone fall. Shop owners, if one just signed a new 2 years rental contract, prepare to close shop either after GSS or try to hold on till CNY. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 (edited) actually MBS many store also look nice nia but not many customers leh yes ... only TOURIST buy ... lol Edited June 25, 2014 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 By this rate, once interest rate increase, we will hit by inflation followed by economy crisis, then deflation. By then, cash would be king. Those with loans, be prepared. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic June 25, 2014 Share June 25, 2014 The idea of shops in Singapore is not to make many sales, but make the most profit out from a single sale. Too many customers no good for shops 'cos not enough manpower to cope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
