Wolf Bargain(Teh Halia Vs Teh Halia)

-

 


The wonderful feeling about having Teh(Tea) in Kampung Glam, one can take in the sight and sound and the historical vibes associated to Kampung Glam. The area is always buzzing with activities. Tourists and locals fill the street day and night. The enclave has become a popular hangout for modern day hipsters. From Haji Lane to Arab Street to Bussorah Street there are plenty of new to market f&b concepts and artisan stores selling one of a kind.

Having some Teh(Tea) while doing some people watching is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. The wet weather over the past couple of days made me look forward to having a cup of hot Teh Halia(Ginger Milk Tea) to warm my stomach. Today shoot out involved two Sarbat stalls operating in Kampung Glam enclave. One traditional, the other with a modern twist.

Bhai Sarbat 

A well known establishment since 1977. Bhai Sarbat is an institution in its own right. Nestled in the heart of Kampung Glam, the current owner, Mohammad Asgar took over the running of the business from his late Uncle hoping to continue his legacy. They are heavily featured in numerous STB and tourist travel guide. I ordered a Teh Halia(Ginger Milk Tea). The spiciness of the ginger pack a punch. The tea is light and one shouldn’t had any problem chugging down a big cup. There are some knick knack available to go with the tea. Almond biscuit is my favourite. A cup cost of Teh Halia cost $1.80

Tarik 

I am pretty impressed by aircrews and their enterprising f&b idea. Tarik was the brain child of Flight Steward, Ali Sheikh Redha. The idea of a modern Sarbat Tea Stall came during the period of covid 19 when he was grounded due to Covid travel restrictions. My previously recommendation of Whisking Bakes was another brilliant idea by Chanel Lee, another aircrew. Since it is a shoot out, it will only be fair if I ordered the same drink, another Teh Halia. The owner put in effort into branding. The “Tarik” brand feature promptly on the paper cup. The initial concept is a hole in the wall, they had since moved to a bigger shop. The spiciness of the ginger pack a punch too. The tea is thick and milky. I find their Teh Halia unique. I can’t pinpoint the spice in the Teh beside ginger. I like their tea, perfect for people looking for a stiff drink. There are other innovative drinks you can ordered. A cup of Teh Halia cost $2.30.


(I have no idea what the Arabic word mean, I just find the Neo light stunning)


The winner goes to....drum roll...me. I had two wonderful version of Teh Halia. Do check them out at Baghdad Street and Arab Street respectively. If I can only have my last two cups of Teh Halia, they will be my top two choices. No doubt about it. Pure goodness, Teh Halia for the soul. Period.

  (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

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
