Wolf Bargain($12 meal with main + drink + gst at a restaurant in Orchard possible?)

-


The answer is YES. I was introduced to the express lunch at Marche Movenpick@Somerset 313 by my friend, Dalip from Value investments group chat which happens to be my lunch kaki for the day. The express lunch menu came out during the height of covid 19 pandemic where many restaurants were left struggling with few customers after the circuit breaker. They had continue to keep the price low. 

The restaurant offers express lunch on weekday 11am to 3pm daily. I had pan fried sea bass fillet with a glass of Lemonade. The taste is superb. The fillet is served with greens and mash potato. Sea bass is top off with lemon sauce. The lemon sauce goes very well with the fillet without overpowering the fish. Fillet is crisp on the skin and soft inside. The portion is generous too.

My friend had an oxtail stew with garlic bread. Oxtail stew at $10.90+ is comparable to price of having a meal with drink at a food court in Orchard Road. We had a dessert set at $6.90+ each that come with a choice of coffee and cake. It was an enjoyable end to our lunch. 


The menu does change from week to week. Do check the website for the latest menu. I snap a copy of the menu for next week. One could have a sirloin and a drink for less than 12 bucks. That is cheaper than the next de facto leader of low price western food joint,Hans cafe. Marche express lunch start from $9.90+. It makes dining in Orchard lighter on the pocket during weekdays.

I will definitely be wolfing around in Orchard for more express lunch. 🐺🐺🐺

Wolf Money(Portfolio update for end April 2024)part 1

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
