Han’s cafe needs no introduction. It is one of the most successful local f&b in Singapore. The cafe is famous for their affordable western set meal and pastry. From Fish & Chips to Black Forest Cake. It is amazing how they have kept prices reasonable over the years.

I was quite sad when they decided against renewing their lease at Central Library. I have been going to the Central Library outlet since their opening due to my frequent visits to the library. I can’t be more happy when I knew they have a new outlet just down the street at Odeon 333 a.k.a the former Odeon Tower.

Han’s @Odeon 333 is their latest outlet. Given it is a new outlet, management has increases their presence at the outlet. Mr. Han, the second generation owner of Han’s was on location to greet the customers during their opening period. He is surprisingly very hands-on. He was serving and cooking for the customers at the new outlet. I am delighted to have a 10 mins conversation with him.

Han’s Cafe was established by his parents in the 70s. It was originally set up as a confectionery and slowly evolving initially into a quintessential Hainanese cafe, serving Hainanese favourite like Hainanese Pork Chop and Chicken Rice. Now the cafe serves a mixed of east and west cuisines. Other favourites includes their value for money set breakfasts and lunches. Fish and Chips, Chicken Chop, Hor Fun, Curry Chicken and Pecan Pie which happens to be one of my must-have pastries. They have more than 20 outlets in Singapore currently.

(Look at that chunky beef)

Mr. Han’s passion for cooking shown during our conversation. He went as far as sharing his trade secret of making good beef stew. For people who are unfamiliar with this item on the menu. It was created using Mr. Han’s recipe. The beef is tender and the stew compliments with good old fashioned white rice. A single serving is good for two people. I had a chance to taste an off-menu item. Mr. Han was kind enough to offer me his latest invention, avocado toast. They are delicious and I hope he will introduced it as part of the menu. Avocado toast can cost a bomb in some cafe. 

Mr. Han is a very humble man, his passion towards cooking reflects in the quality of Han’s food. It is quite surreal to be talking to the brain behind the cafe that has generated so many of my childhood and taste memories. I am delighted to have a good conversation with him.

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...
