Fresh Fish - Direct

Last week, I wrote about blog and website. One day, if I could successfully expand on it may be I could sell it for a cool $2 million? For $3.5million, I will throw in the house, the car and the laptop just like char siew and roast pork together with the family's secret recipe. Muahahahaha, muahahahaha.

Then on one Monday morning, I have people calling and writing to me asking if I was in Spain. Maybe they thought I was there to watch Real Madrid versus Bayern Munich but knowing I could not possibly afford the plane ticket and being savvy about such scams they knew well it was probably a scam due to my email being phished and hijacked yet they took the trouble to make sure I am all right. I felt really touched!

Then there were those friends who probably haven't read the emails so they are safe but I wondered if I were really kidnapped and by the time they read the email, I would be dead and buried. Haha.

People in trouble should call their family members first and it would be their family members who would call friends if further help is needed.   

While thinking about all these events, I came across an interesting shop at Shunfu Market one weekend morning. I have written previously about Fassler at Woodlands. Now I must share with you the assurance from this shop for the freshest and value for money seafood. Do your comparison if you have experienced overpriced but under-fresh seafood. I like their idea and how it was evolved. We don't always need a revolution but just evolution.



















This is called "Fresh Fish Direct" Singapore, supposedly Singapore's first seafood home delivery service. While I haven't tried them, this is the clincher - "home delivery service" for your orders. Cool or go pick 'em up there, do you own selection and collection. They are opened from 8am to 12pm from Tuesday to Saturday (closed on Sunday and Monday). 

Meet Sandy Lee who told me that he got his fish at its freshest when the fishing boats returned in Thailand where he has his factory and the seafood arrives Singapore faster than the the usual routing to our local wet markets or supermarkets. In other word, straight from the Andaman sea! Talking about the Andaman Sea, I paid a visit near there which you can see from the link here:
 
You should visit too. Here, you can see Sandy explaining to customers about his products. It is like your pizza delivery. I was surprised when he told me there is no minimum quantity to order.  

This is a guy with a good business model. When you get a reasonable price and fresher seafood with home delivery, won't you get your supplies here? I would.




















Check it out! Sandy is all ready to serve us.

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
