old brands like you kee, yoshinoya and even koo kee so empty.... den shops like seoul yummy, xiang xiang hunan food, sushi express so fucking long queue
why ah??? at nex
not sure, i dont patronize these shops/brands at all
kee, yoshinoya and even koo kee standards dropped loh. Same for other old brands like han's and jack's place
As for seoul yummy, xiang xiang hunan food, sushi express, I guess it's a change of trend and culture?

The mala grilled fish fad is more than a decade ago right? Or recently revival again?
Sg always say hawker is Heritage unesco etc but not doing much to retain its culture. In fact I believe hawker will die out once the older gen hawkers pass away which will happen in 10 to 20 yrs time

Yukee was good when it was at marina square before 2000
Yoshinoya was decent before that era too. Anyway, meat indeed too little now. Can get the same kind of pre cooked meat from donki for $5 or $6
Sushi express is crap. Ppl like it just because it's cheaper than other jap converyor belt sushi chains

Sadly yes. My fave roast meat stall just closed this Jan and even the minimart at my childhood estate closed after 30 yrs
Quote from: peaceheart on Jul 28, 2024, 06:34 PMSadly yes. My fave roast meat stall just closed this Jan and even the minimart at my childhood estate closed after 30 yrs
that seems to be the direction we are heading
not gonna see many helming their own stalls, the mentality now is to be a sleeping boss who makes money without getting hands dirty
enjoy the stalls we grew up with as long as we can
