Atonchia Supersonic September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 Sian, good food one by one gone. Hope they don't increase the prices. Kopitiam where got good food?Most are no longer run by local. Only Dessert is still decent. I find food republic food quality is slightly better but more expensive. Usually when they say fairer price or with social enterprise mission, it will be the supplier or this instance, stall holders be squeezed. Consumer will definitely have loss leader item to choose. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 My opinion is that ntuc foodfare food is usually nicer than kopitiam for generic chain stalls. The basic mixed rice usually is nicer in NTUC foodfare though. Rice garden vs Chang cheng (usually in most kopitiams). I still drive to the neighbourhood estate's NTUC foodfare to buy mixed rice (when i want to eat). And I've eaten it in random stalls in tampines and pasir ris. Definitely better than chang cheng haha. The chicken rice in NTUC foodfare coffeeshops also slightly above average. There was a NTUC foodfare food court near my workplace for 3 years which closed down. And a kopitiam nearby which i eat from at least 3-4 times a week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 Now that's why Jack Ma, Jeff Bezo and Eduardo Saverin pump $$$$ into SG Fulfilment centres, 3PL and ecommerce retailers. With more automation, autonomous drones, delivery gaps can be addressed in future. The whole system likely can be replicated to cities similar to SG.

Fitvip Supersonic September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 dont worry, the simi anti trade will step in to stop the buy over. Wayang is a must nowadays. I was just about to say that. Isn't it similar to Grab buying over Uber? Just wait and see if they perform any wayang or not! Imho, it is very unhealthy for this "big fish eat small fish world". They don't benefit consumers, just make the rich richer! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not Hypermart experience. If not properly run & lose money, will affect investor confidence. I was just about to say that. Isn't it similar to Grab buying over Uber? Just wait and see if they perform any wayang or not! Imho, it is very unhealthy for this "big fish eat small fish world". They don't benefit consumers, just make the rich richer! Many large supplier companies also have merger and acquisition. Get immediate access of new distribution and route to market. Consolidation is always happening. I was just about to say that.

Ender Hypersonic September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 Eat value meal at fast food cheaper. With $5, get a meal with drinks. In the food court, $5 gets you the basic cheaper noodles without drinks. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
