Wolf Bargain(My third place)

-

 





Starbucks former CEO, Howard Schultz build a successful behemoth coffee joint by coining the idea of a third place. What actually is a third place? First place is your home, second place your office and third place is a comfortable cafe to enjoy that well deserved coffee break. As work from home arrangement blur the line of home and office. The third place had become more important for periodic break in between work. 





(Extensive menu to choose from)

The latest addition to the third place cafe eco system, The Providore is a growing chain of cafes run by local. They have outlets in Orchard, Raffles Place and City Hall. They serve coffee at a reasonably price. I particularly like the breakfast menu. English Breakfast, Ricotta Pancake and Sourdough Toast to name a few. Barn laid eggs and Sourdough Toast is my favourite item on the menu. Great for Vegan.

 (Barn laid eggs with Sourdough, couple with black coffee)


The sourdough toast is freshly made daily. The eggs with bright orangey yolks are the kind of eggs which can be seen on Jeremy Oliver cooking show only. Sourdough toast is crusty on the outside and soft inside. There is a tinge of sourness which is at acceptable level. Sourdough with jam and butter make them a perfect combo. The black coffee is strong but not overwhelming. A regular size cost a fiver excluding taxes. 

(Nice relaxing afternoon)

I prefer the outdoor seating due to good ventilation which I enjoy reading a book and people watching in a lazy afternoon. It is a fantastic place to have a quiet leisure conversation with friends. The Providore had become my favourite third place. Service is exceptional. Special thank you to Peter and Michelle for the exemplary service.

  (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

  (Credit: Yahoo Finance; Last index high of 3900 in 2007, 16 years and counting. Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

  (Image credit : Netflix ; Lily Collins in Emily in Paris) (Personal photo : The iconic Arc de Triomphe) (Personal Photo: The street where wallet got murdered) Le Non-Dit Des Sociétés Cotées(The unspoken language of listed companies)*pardon me, google translate In the popular Netflix romcom drama, Emily in Paris, Lily Collins portrayed Emily Cooper, an American marketing executive sent by her US company to their subsidiary in Paris to give an American perspective to marketing. Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients. It is important to understand the language of choice in the area one operates so as to be able to communicate effectively i
