With the tray return rule, should have cleaner at every collection pt to clear swiftly, so many plates of leftover food confirm birdies congregate there have a buffet. 🤣

I know those popular ones like one at Novena, one at East coast road etc.

Big prawns usually cost $10 and above per bowl. 

$4.30 seem reasonable price for coffeeshop. 

He's lucky she didn't throw the ladle at him.

He didn't know photos are for illustration and not the exact picture of the dish? He's probably trying his luck. 

Otherwise, ladles, woks, bowls, plates will be flying all over the place liao. 

How many times we look at photos and start to salivate then walau with the final product? 

I kee chiu. But it will then be the one and only time for me till the stall closed down or till no more victims left. 

😂😂😂Yada-ing 

Cheers

I did a rough calculation.

If monthly coffeeshop rental is $9k and revenue is $7k.

She need to sell 124 bowls each day for 30 days.

$7k revenue probably gross profit is $3500.

I heard delivery riders can earn $7k month. Better be delivery person than being hawker.😅

Delivery riders that earn $7k month, dont know how many hours need to work in order to earn such amount? 😅

I think hawkers probably need to put in same amount of efforts. Many also need to start before day break.

Very common to see birds and pigeons walking under the hawker center tables even with people near to it. And when these birds suddenly flies up, it shock the hell out of those people next to it.

Solved the return tray problem, now created another problem. They really should have a better tray return system that can prevent birds from feasting on the plates.
