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)

  (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

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

  (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
