Wolf Bargain(What’s for lunch?)

-

The stock market is going through some heavy correction currently. Profits are slim picking this month. I might have to settle for some bird seeds during lunch 🐧....cheap cheap cheap cheap

(Lelong price Honey glazed Sunflower seed @$1 for two at cheers, they are quite nice to be honest) 


or I could have Teochew fish ball noodle. Usually I don’t recommend fish ball noodle or wanton noodle in my blog. I find them almost everywhere and mostly uninspiring. If I am given a choice of other food, I would avoid them. Fishball noodle is after fishball noodle loh. Wanton Noodle is after all Wanton Noodle loh. I rarely find outstanding examples of both. 

(No frills signboard, honest to goodness fishball noodle)

The stall has a simple name to match the food. Teochew Fishball Noodle, no fancy name, just Teochew Fishball Noodle $3 or $4 written on the signboard. Maybe I am Teochew so must support Teochew Fishball Noodle. They are the only fish ball noodle stall I go in my neighbourhood. The stall is located in a coffee shop named Wiseng food place at Crawford Lane. They have been in business for more than 30 year. The stall is run by an old couple. Uncle doing the cooking and Auntie doing the packing. They have a son which is taking over the business. Do make a good observation of Uncle, he get into some sort of rhythm when cooking the noodle and one can sense that bowl of noodle is going to turn out well.

(Kway Teow Mee Soup)


I usually ordered the Kway Teow Mee Soup, maybe age is catching up, like the mild and soupy stuff now. The soup is light and fragrant. The Kway Teow Mee is not over cooked. It has that springy texture. $3 dollar buy you a good size with meat ball, fishball, slices of fish cake and lean meat all in a bowl. The soup is not “msgfy”. I didn’t turn into a thirsty hippo after gobbling down the noodle . The noodle is excellent, you can see the clear out bowl spinning on the table after my meal. For chilli lover, the dry chilli mee pok is a must have. The chilli pack a punch, abit smoky. Do ask for more chilli if you can take the heat.

Best timing to go is between 10.30am and 11.15am. Any timing out of the suggested range can result in waiting time up to 45 minutes. Till the market recovered, I will make do with some fish ball noodle. No big fish, big meat for now.

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...

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...

   (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...
