Wolf Bargain(nostalgic coffeeshop)

-




The weekend is here. If you have some time to explore Singapore. There is an old coffee shop,I mean really really old and nostalgic coffee shop which might be worth exploring along North Bridge Road. The coffee shop has been in operation for close to 50 years. It is run by the dynamic duo of Mr. Shi and son team. There are probably less than 10 of those old school coffeeshop left in Singapore.

I always admire the father and son team for their passion to keep their traditional business going. They only sell toasty, half boiled eggs, coffee and nothing else. 



Times are definitely better now due to social media as more and more people want to experience the taste of traditional toasty and coffee. It wasn’t the case during the early 2000s where the coffeeshop was struggling to attract new customers, only seniors were patronising. 




Do expect a long waiting time to get served. Some of the must have are their toasty and butter coffee. I always like to have my kopi O along with my toast. A single slice of toast and kopi O add up to $1.40 and the butter is thick. That is what I call a wolf bargain. 

Have a Good Friday toasting.

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...

Wolf Money(My views on Great Eastern offer)

   (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...
