oki chicken laksa is not oki anymore
we had a topic before about “how much is fair”
business should find other or new housing
or end their pitiful business
than to work for landlord

this contributor submitted that ok chicken laksa
cost $5
consist only :
– a fistful bee hoon
– 3 slices fish cake approx 3cm by 2cm
– 3 miserable cockles
– 3 taw pok similarly to approx 3cm x 2cm

as we validated, it is indeed so

adding to that
their chicken rice is horrendously $5
let us ponder
unless they sprinkle gold dust as condiment
their chicken is nothing but the same chicken that are selling at $3.50

market rate for laksa is maintaining at $3.50

who they deemed to be suckers would eat their food ?

customers have the right to know all these

since the past till today ? the world ranked singaporeans the worst businessman
among hongkongers, taiwanese and chinese
mentally retarded yet greedy ? perhaps ?

many businesses here “think” after media coverage and write ups
they become “branded” and hence increase their price for that unworthy food
well, look at other countries and how they do their business
street food and hawker especially

“so so” famous yet it cost at the heart of the people economically even to the poor
they bring it to another level of good referral
for many years
people think business or marketing are general studies
but many examples demonstrated that it seems also a professional one

(one is “branded” because of the soul, essence and concept manifested in product one sell)
(not any me-too product trying to illusion-ised into something special)

media coverage and write ups only meant exposure and awareness
it is not meant for price to increase
especially in food-court-hawker-food-centre-coffee-shop setting
worst of all, you see some coffee shop stalls selling from $10-12
absolutely neglecting the most fundamental of marketing called market segment
in the end, needless to say, they go out of business

with this thing called market segment
unless you started as a restaurant
even so, can one cover whatever it cost ?
in the end, one says you are “boss” but one merely slogs for landlord
if this gets out of hand
no wonder this landlord “class” of people gave the “cultural revolution” another excuse to start in the long long past
(besides its mainstream political reason)

they are many misconceptions
the “weird” nth generation thinks :
how much they wana earn (divide) quantity = how much they like to sell
well think again “absurd” ?
