Wah, I recall eating the "99bends braised duck " at South Buona Vista when I was a teenager. Didnt know they moved to Desker Road.

Now they want to close citing rising cost and lack of manpower. Why cannot move to hawker center? Too low class?

Why can't f&b businesses move back to hawker center, their humble beginning, when times are bad when facing inflation and manpower issues? It's better than they close completely and not have an income. Having an eatery house confirm cannot keep up with the rent. Choose a smaller place like a hawker stall or two. Existing staff can also get to keep their job.

What brand?

I have tried a few other brands, but Nutella is still the best one. Nutella has the right taste and texture. 

Ferraro, maker of Nutella, is the best.  That's why many people buy Ferraro Rocher....😁

The current owner is not the original stall owner which started as a hawker.

Have to agree.... It's the most expensive among other hazelnut spreads which are also made in Europe, also 13% cocoa, but it's taste beat the others. Just have to accept palm oil in my blood 🤢
