(The colourful HDB blocks give Circuit Road estate a distinctive look)

Today Lone Wolf is exploring Circuit Road Hawker Centre. A bit of history on Circuit Road, the road got its name from the road that circle around the HDB blocks which was built in the 60s to house victims of the deadly Bukit Ho Swee fire that wiped out the whole estate in 1961 which left 16,000 homeless.  





(The longest Hawker Centre in Singapore stretching more than 100m)


I find the estate alluring as it retains the old charm of early HDB living. The elongated hawker centre stretching more than 100m must be the longest hawker centre in Singapore. The hawker centre is a short walk from Mattar MRT Station along DTL. I managed to find a few delicious gems in the hawker centre. 




Ghim Guan Fried Oyster(#01-60)

One can always get a sense of the popularity of this Fried Oysters by the endless decks of eggs stacking up high in front of the stall. The Fried Oyster is one of the nicer one I had recently. The Oysters are big and juicy. There is a balance between crispiness and been too starchy. Good amount of eggs are added. The vinegar chilli goes very well with the Fried Oyster Omelette($5). The Teochews will said “Ho Jia”(tasty) and the Italian, Mamma Mia.




(Hor fun)

(Sweet & Sour pork)

(Jackpot of goodies in a Claypot)


Soon Kee Kitchen(#01-40)


The stall is run by two elderly couple. I didn’t manage to get their name as they were busy preparing food for their customers. I did get a good glimpse of the cooking process. Chef Uncle display good vibe and rhythm during his cooking, an old mastery at work. Given what I seen, I am optimistic about the food, It didn’t disappoint. They were as good as any higher end Chinese restaurant. We ordered 3 dishes enough for 3 persons. Hor Fun, Sweet & Sour pork and Claypot Tofu all for $26. Hor Fun had that wok hei, Sweet & Sour pork is crispy on the outside and soft internally, there is a good balance of the tomato sauce. Claypot Tofu is filled with different types of greens and tofu is well cooked. The Zi Char stall does bring back my memory of how traditional Zi Char is cooked, a sense of nostalgia is assured. It goes to show, good and reasonable priced food can still be found in our heartland. 






(The Chendol ascension to the throne is well deserved)


King Of Chendol(#01-97)

To be call King of something, the stall is setting my expectation high. There are plenty of f&b businesses calling themselves Kings or Queens of something, unfortunately most acted like Jester, falling flat on expectations. The “Kingship” is well deserved for this particular Chendol($2.50). The Chendol had a good amount of Coconut Milk, Gula Melaka and generous serving of Red Beans. The Chendol is springing. Durian, Sweet Corn and Attap Seeds are available as add ons. The Chendol is a satisfying dessert to end a heavy dinner.

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...
