Wolf Bargain(WXXB)

-

Lone Wolf Investor is at 29 Tai Tiong Crescent. I am at Lao Zhong Zhong eating house for the Hgoh Hiang Wu Xiang Xia Bing(wxxb) by Lao Zhong Zhong(Quite a mouthful to say). WXXB laterally mean Five Spice Prawn Fritter. Wu Xiang is a meat roll marinated with five spice wrap in beancurd skin with finely diced chestnut to give it some texture. Prawn fritter is the thicker version of a prawn cracker. 

(Sample size amounting to $4.60)


Lao Zhong Zhong Wu Xiang is very well known in that area. I am not too sure if they have any link with Zhong Zhong Wu Xiang Xia Bing at Bt. Timah hawker centre. I guess by having the word Lao in front mean they are the more established authority and the cream de la creme of Five Spice Prawn Fritter. It sure didn’t disappoint. The taste is sublime, the chili dip is slightly on the sweet side, moderately hot. The chili dip has a sprinkle of peanut powder which give it a slightly thicker sauce. It goes very well with the food. The fritter is crispy. Tiny prawns on the fritter are fried till bone dry even the shell of the prawn can be consumed, giving off a satisfying crunch. Wu Xiang is freshly made with a good mix of meat and chestnut. The meat roll is airy. The taste is balance. Doesn’t taste artificial or overly seasoned. Even though all the items are deep fried, I didn’t suffer from heart attack. There is no oily aftertaste. 

(Chestnut cake)


(Deep fried Tau Kwa,good colour good taste)

There is always a queue at any hour of the day. Just look at the photo. Has to be the longest queue for my WXXB fix. One of the other highlight has to be the chestnut cake which had become a rare item on the menu. The process of making the chestnut cake is tedious which explains why few shops sell that item now.  I had a piece of deep fried beancurd aka tau kwa and a couple of fish balls. I wish I had more stomach but it was my impromptu snack right after lunch. I just can’t resist a munch. Other items on sale included guan chang(red Chinese sausage) and pi dan(century eggs) is an acquired taste which taste like Foie Gras for lack of a comparable description. My food cost $4.60. Lao Zhong Zhong is definitely worthy of the wait. I am suggesting having it piping hot at the coffee shop after HA 2.0. I am sure you will be laughing away once you try the food. Btw they don’t sell satay. Safety assured.  😁

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.  *The video

Wolf Money(The death of the Singapore Stock Market-My view on the final offer for Great Eastern Holdings)

(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 $25.60 b
