I think they very smart, not much competitors right?
Basically sapu entire market after CNY and during CNY
Hmm...peranakans is their target audience :flash:
But during normal times only the harri anns are direct competitor and other smaller biz. No obr can match their cost efficiency and quality so they can afford to charge premium using their namesake
One thing is their kueh and cakes really quality and got standard la also consistent outside cannot compare. Went to alot malay stalls in market try their kueh good but lose to bgw solo
Only the price win
Their panda chiffon is unparalled but a bit exp

Bought/tried a few times before. Just slightly better, maybe placebo effect due to the price and perceived superior quality

If u loosely defined
Every bakery online or irl and every Pasar malam biscuit maker is their competitor

Batam is cheaper price by more than half
Per what some my kawans who go there regularly buy back gift me. In fact got many brands but some is butter gao gao, some is less sweet type some got put raisins or other nuts inside even, main thing is price just cheaper alot for 1kg.
But the issue is
When i sibehs gian kueh lapis
Would I take effort go batam to buy?

Quote from: default on Feb 01, 2025, 11:00 PMwhy leh?
Most things that they sell, can be found in other stalls with more affordable pricing. And I'm not very good at differentiating taste and quality. So I don't mind the more affordable ones.
