its my favourite also … no wonder cant find it recently in the supermarts ... ‘It’s the end of the world!’: Hong Kong netizens upset that US sausage company has declared bankruptcy Let’s be frank, chicken frank. Even with the ongoing China/US trade war, rarely does economic news out of the ol’ US of A rattle Hongkongers. Well, until now. Panic has erupted — well at the very least some concern has been expressed online — after reports that the US company which makes some of the city’s favorite chicken franks, aka chicken sausages, aka “Valley Chef” sausages, has gone belly up. Announced earlier this month, Zacky Farms, a California-based food production company, filed for bankruptcy protection. The news started causing concern recently when online reports emerged suggesting company’s chicken frank sausages could disappear from supermarket shelves altogether following the bankruptcy filing. You see, Zacky Farms distribute the sausages via a Hong Kong-based subsidiary called Dah Chong Hong Ltd under the brand Valley Chef. For years they have been a staple in Hongkongers’ breakfasts, hotpots, barbecues, and afternoon teas. Check out this commercial from 1987 showing how they can be used to prepare “western-style dishes”, like, sausage on a steak… According to The Business Journal, the company made the filing after it emerged that it was shutting down its poultry processing plants in Stockton and Fresno, and eliminating 475 jobs. The bankruptcy petition lists estimated assets as well as debts in the range of US$50 million to US$100 million, which could spell the end for the company, and could also mean that Hongkongers may have to say goodbye to their little processed friends. According to HK01, netizens left comments on online forum HKGolden expressing their distress. “No Valley Chef, no life”, said one freaked-out Hongkonger. “It’s the end of the world!” typed another, before presumably running around in circles in a mindless panic. Others have been posting photos of the sausages in supermarkets around the city on sale. A chef surnamed Mak told on.cc: “I’ve been cooking with those sausages for about 20 years, if I have to switch brands, people will notice and say ‘chef, why don’t you have Valley Chef sausages? These taste different’.”

ok ... searched "Frank" but no results. have been doing a lot of online shopping; esp on Qoo10 (almost avg 500/mth) ... so remembered reading somewhere that Frank_by_ocbc gives 6% rebates for online purchases. anyone using Frank_by_ocbc for you online purchases as well and really getting 6% rebates ?? think cimb's rebate ad was pretty misleading ... spent almost $2k but only got $4 in rebates !!

After working or chionging, coming home near mid nite, this is the place to unwind and laugh it all off..... also to get some typing exercise to keep the skill intact................ the beauty of cyber space

If our national soccer players demand and actually get paid top dollars, higher than what world's top player get.... but make mistakes repeatedly without even have the decency to admit them, must the country keep them to play for the country? or continue to pay them what they ask for? We are not asking some ministers to f'off.... no we are not, but at least they should face the pple in a honourble way, starting with admission, or maybe even apologies, and return their over paid salary to show their sincerity (if this is in their vocab at all).... example: HDB housing should meet the needs of the people it's meant for, affordable, readily avialable etc.... plus transparency in new projects in the pipeline. But this is not happening until the pple start to complain.... then HDB begins to correct the situations and the minister in-charge announces the changes as if it is something innovative and he's doing a big favour to the pple where in the first place the problems should haven't have been there if proper planning was in place and not just react only when the problems grow beyond the tolerance level of the pple.... call this whining or whatever, but it is the hardest truth

Hi, I am not sure if everyone is supposed to have been migrated from Delphi Forum to here, but I just like to repost my query and hopefully get some useful feedback. Personally, I am planning to book an Octavia 1.8T(M) in March. Frankly, I found the car value-for-money. However, I am a little concerned after reading all the not-so-pleasant opinions (READ: COMPLAINTS) about JTA posted by various people here. Therefore, I was wondering if any any kind hearted souls can offer any frank comments / opinions? I am really fearful that I will encounter similar problems like those before me. Thanks much! DLow18
