Wolf Bargain(Chef Lai Cafe)

-




 
(Look at that!! Oh Mama Mia )


Chicken Rice set for $6.90 under normal circumstance wasn’t much of a bargain home run, what if I tell you I had the same thing before for $25 at Mandarin Orchard. The cafe which sell chicken rice, curry chicken rice and braised meat rice is head by ex Chatterbox Chef Lai. The cafe is located at The Adelphi mall opposite Funan. Chef Lai Cafe had been in operation for close to 4 years. They do have a good following. It is usually crowded during lunch hour. 


(The lunch time crowd is back)


The small shop barely had enough seatings for more than 10 people. The eatery is far from the luxurious setting of having Chicken Rice in Mandarin Orchard but the substantially lower price compensate for lack of dining refinement. One could have 3 sets and have spare change. The taste is very similar to Chatterbox. A blind test wouldn’t spot the difference. 

A set come with white cabbage, egg omelette and a bowl of herbal chicken soup. The sides are a good compliment to the chicken rice. Chicken is soft and tender. The chicken skin is soft and melt with every mouth, it felt less oily too. The slightly sweetened soya sauce is unique which balance out the taste. Rice is.........something which “one can eat a lot one lah” you know me huh. The chilli is so good that you can eat it on its own.



Another of Chef Lai’s special, the Curry Chicken. 6 bucks buy you a a bowl with white rice. Portion is decent. Chef uses chicken drumsticks which explain the tenderness of the chicken. The curry is thick but not overwhelming. If you are in City Hall area looking for a quick meal, do head down to Chef Lai Cafe at Adelphi. Chicken rice are served on a limited basis, sold out by 2pm.

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...
