Wolf Bargain(Cheapest coffeeshop in City Hall area)

Image
I have known the existence of this coffee shop for many years. Never did once in my career as a working broker in City Hall did I step in for a lunch or coffee. From the outer facade it doesn’t inspire.  Recently I step into the coffee shop for a meal. The coffee shop seen to be wrap in 70s with old photos and calendars sticking on the walls. The noodle are surprisingly tasty. You can get a shot of Laksa,Lor Mee, prawn noodle or minced meat noodle for $2.50 a bowl. I repeat $2.50.......$2.50 Singapore dollars. The price of the noodle is shockingly affordable. My favourite goes to the Laksa and minced meat noodle. The Laksa is only available from Monday to Thursday.  The Kopi O and Kopi is available at 90c and a dollar each. Prices are cheaper than some hawker centre. The operating hours of the coffeeshop is from 7am to 2pm daily from Monday to Friday. Weekend and PH they are closed. For a bit of nostalgia, please visit them at the below address Address : 62 South Bridge Road (...

Wolf Bargain(nostalgic coffeeshop)

Image
The weekend is here. If you have some time to explore Singapore. There is an old coffee shop,I mean really really old and nostalgic coffee shop which might be worth exploring along North Bridge Road. The coffee shop has been in operation for close to 50 years. It is run by the dynamic duo of Mr. Shi and son team. There are probably less than 10 of those old school coffeeshop left in Singapore. I always admire the father and son team for their passion to keep their traditional business going. They only sell toasty, half boiled eggs, coffee and nothing else.  Times are definitely better now due to social media as more and more people want to experience the taste of traditional toasty and coffee. It wasn’t the case during the early 2000s where the coffeeshop was struggling to attract new customers, only seniors were patronising.  Do expect a long waiting time to get served. Some of the must have are their toasty and butter coffee. I always like to have my kopi O along with my toa...

Wolf Money(Office and retail space demand)

Image
SHARES OF OFFICE LANDLORDS SURGE ON EXPECTED RETURN OF OFFICE WORKERS Office I find the BT headline puzzling. Did the landlord start charging rental by number of people returning to office? Against popular belief of a recovery in demand for office space. I predict multi years of sub par demand for office space due to WFH,hot desking and co working trend continuing after covid 19. A source close to me had indicated their company plan of slashing office use by 50 percent within the next couple of years. CFO must be thinking why do we need to pay millions and millions of dollars to keep my employees in office. WFH and hot desking will cut office use by 50 percent. In process saving company millions. Mind you. That is only for one company, imaging many companies right sizing their office needs. Food for thot? Office? What For Huh? Retail There is an introduction of code of conduct for leasing of retail premises in Singapore  In June 2020, a Fair Tenancy Pro Tem Committee was set up und...
