Wolf Bargain(frontier of delicious food)

-

 



Shi Wei Xian HK Tim Sum mean “food right in front” base on direct translation but the food stall is actually at the back of Geylang East Industrial Estate housed in Guan Guan coffeeshop. The owner mean “A successful f&b business need to build on the basis of good food as priority over other things”. One wouldn’t be venturing into Geylang East Industrial Estate unless you are going for a new car paint job or finding a printer for your pamphlets. Location of Shi Wei Xian is not far from the bustling commercial district of Paya Lebar. It is a hidden gem of Paya Lebar. The eatery had gained much fanfare by letting the food do the talking, no neon lights, no pretentious table cloth and no fanciful cutlery just an amazing little place with honest to goodness affordable food. It is nice to get a break from paying expensive food. Their serving is generous too. There are plenty of car parking for those who drive as most of the factories are closed for weekend.

Special thank to my good friend and Abang, Deon for the recommendation. Shi Wei Xian sell a good selection of traditional HK Tim Sum at very affordable price. The price is wallet friendly, very reasonable to be frank. My family of three spent $21.60 on 6 items ordered. The taste is as good as any top Tim Sum Restaurant in Singapore minus the dining glittery. The taste is as close as what you can get in HK without the need for an air ticket. Given the very affordable price and great taste, that put it at the upper echelon of the Wolf Bargain list. The place is great for family gathering even the most disconcerting mother in law will knock her head in approval. At 10.30am the coffeeshop is half occupied by patrons of the stall. Mind you, it is a very big coffeeshop. Shi Wei Xian only operate during weekend(Saturday and Sunday only). Please don’t come rushing down during weekday after reading my blog. Tulong Tulong(Malay word for beg) 🙏


(Menu,Cheap Cheap Cheap even the bird will agreed)





(Super crunchy Prawn Beancurd Roll@$3.60 ,very shiok)


We ordered Lotus Leaf Rice, Crab Meat Siew Mai, Steamed Beancurd Roll, Fried prawn beancurd skin roll too, Yuan Yang Chee Cheong Fan, Prawn Dumpling.

(Lotus Leaf Rice@$3.50,soft enough even no teeth grandma and grandpa can eat)

Lotus Leaf Rice is soft with good amount of wax meat, chicken and mushroom filling. Crab Meat Siew Mai is spongy, Prawn in the dumpling has a good springing texture. Fried Beancurd Skin Roll is deep fried to perfection, had a satisfying crunch. My favourite is the Yuan Yang Chee Cheong Fan($4), there were five freshly made Cheong Fan wrapped with Prawn and Cha Siew. Making Cheong Fan is a difficult art. If Cheong Fan is overcooked, it will become gluey. The chef exhibited high degree of skill and good experience to pull off this dish. The special soya sauce give a sweet and savoury aftertaste. Century Egg Pork Porridge($2) and Gu Cai dumpling(off menu item)are worthy of a try. There are other off menu items which you can ordered. Shi Wei Xian is my top 3 HK Tim Sum in Singapore. With an affordable price tag and great taste, Shi Wei Xian is truly a Lone Wolf Bargain that touches heart.(Dian Xin)

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

(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 $25.60 b
