Tohto Hypersonic August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 Wrong location and wrong target. Also this is unlike 7-11 (where Taiwan/Japan?Korea which has better success), this unmanned void deck will soon become a mess. Those convenient food set in Taiwan/Japan are good quality, taste good and cheap. Especially in Japan it is cheaper than going into a restaurant. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohto Hypersonic August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 In SG everywhere also can find food, now with all those deliveries and 24 deliveries, why need to eat food from a vending machine??... The only vending machine food i ever eaten, was the toasted bread at KK hospital and NHU, both from the same vendor. Surprising tasted good...LOL Tried those toast bread from the vending machine at hospital, it was quite good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 well, I am 1 of those staying that block. the RC gals and the vendor rep did came over to survey us earlier in the year regarding this. I did feedback that the worry would be noise and mess and that with 7/11 and shell station within walking distance, this might not be necessary. The RC gal said she will take note of our concern and we were presented with 2 sample of their food. From their reaction, I can see that no matter what I feedback, the kiosk is going ahead and this survey is actually just to formally inform us that the kiosk is going to be built whether I like it or not. to be honest, with me moving out end of this year, I am not too bothered. my wife, on the other hand like the idea a lot as she says she can just go down and pack lunch for my kids especially during rainy weather. as for the food and price, I tasted the Italian bolognaise and it actually tasted ok, my wife like the seafood horfun. with both of them going for $1 for a week, actual price about $4, its quite a bargain now. the cold canned soft drinks are going for as low as 80 cents and its definitely cheaper than many of the other vending machine out there. Oh... Do let us know the taste after some time... See whether the taste is consistent or not. And also the noise and mess and pess problems ... Hope these won't deteriorate so much to affect your surrounding ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator August 8, 2016 Author Share August 8, 2016 This kinda concept of vending machine will only work in big country with limited eatery. In Singapore, there are coffeeshops within walking distance and most of them operate to late night. If this depend on business of someone that wanted to eat in the middle of the night. Good luck to their business. 25 menu items, if store 3 pack from item and less people buy, imagine the wastage will be like if the shelve life is 1-2 days 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 I've seen people eat the 7-11 rehydrated mashed potato and use their hot water to eat instant noodles. But personally i won't bother. Just walk a bit to the coffeeshop which is open like 16 hrs a day bah. Some of the coffee outlets selling food (starbucks, coffee bean, coffee club) don't seem to have a kitchen so I presume they just microwave their food and sell it at outrageous prices. Still many many foolish customers buying. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still many many foolish customers buying. I've nothing against central kitchen preparation if the food is decent. It's just logical if I'm hungry and looking for a meal. Look at how much space is required for a hawker stall to prepare just that few type of dishes. But yeah, personally i won't pay often for these types of meals. If for convenience sake then different issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidklt 6th Gear August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 (edited) The bento sets in Taiwan convenience shops are actually quite good. Once I ran a half marathon in Taichung, the organiser gave out 7-11 pork chop bentos. Big and cheap. Those convenient food set in Taiwan/Japan are good quality, taste good and cheap.Especially in Japan it is cheaper than going into a restaurant.

Once I ran a half marathon in Taichung, the organiser gave out 7-11 pork chop bentos. Big and cheap. To us of course it's cheap. Their fresh uni grad earns less than 2k/month and will be lucky to find perm employment instead of contract work. Their cost of food is also lower since they have a strong agricultural industry. If u watch the cooking shows, their big chicken drumstick+ thigh is only about 80-90 cents sing. In singapore, it's $2.50 at my wet market for a comparatively smaller chicken. But asians are used to cheap cooked food being available. Different story from Europe where that vending machine sandwich will cost you 5 pounds. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyfitms Twincharged August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 What do you think of such concept? personally i think is a flop. it might work if taste is not too bad i find the standard of zi char getting bad... now expensive and tasteless.. or maybe it's just my coffeeshop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keei 2nd Gear August 8, 2016 Share August 8, 2016 Isn't that like TV dinner lazy Americans eat? The difference is that they in the comfort of their own home. Here we have to go down stairs to eat. The taste might be good (I had those TV dinners before & they tasted quite good). But i'll be concern about the nutritional value and also the high sodium & fat contents. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
