TO WALK the talk, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is taking its productivity mantra 'cheaper, better, faster'' into the heart of its social enterprises. Leading the march will be NTUC businesses such as its FairPrice supermarket chain, Foodfare eateries and First Campus childcare centres. For instance, new set meals have been rolled out by Foodfare which says they are cheaper than those of its competitors. On top of that, union members will get discounts of 10 to 15 per cent.

A breakfast tray of a beverage, two half-boiled eggs and two toasts will cost $1.40 for union members. Although others will pay $1.80, it is still less costly than similar sets often priced above $2 at other outlets, said Mr Perry Ong, Foodfare's chief executive. He also said every stall at its six foodcourts will offer at least one relatively cheaper set meal. Mr Ong was speaking to reporters at Foodfare's foodcourt at Simei MRT station, where the chief executives of the other 11 NTUC enterprises also told reporters they are undertaking similar efforts.

Fucking morons.

Why they can do cheaper faster better for food, they cannot do so for HDB? :oIo:

Ya Kun charges around S$5 for a similar set and it sucks. Bestest is prebroken soft-boiled eggs on standby to order. It looks very nice, machine timed to half boil perfectly and machine broken neatly. But it's out there for minutes or hours depending on your luck at the time you order. Usually, what you get is inedible nauseating room temperature half-boiled eggs that's good only for display. I'd recommend that if they want to do that, innovate a little and serve it refrigerated instead. At least, that's not so nauseating as room temperature eggs with the raw and stale aftertastes.

Why no coffee or tea? extra $1? thats $2.40 lor, not cheap lor

 

[kingrant]

Since there is no free lunches, something/somebody must have to be shortchanged. NTUC gets special subsidised rents from the PAP network? Cross-subsidy from their deep pockets of other NTUC subsidiaries and sister companies? If they pay the diff out of the rest of the population, aren't we all being conned? I can only believe they have done something great if the funds come from the salaries of the obscenely loaded cabinet!

Got lah - beverage mah.

It's "talk the talk, walk the walk!".

Haha same as what I thought too. 1 egg is the daily cholesterol limit for the average Singaporean: 330mg. Eat two eggs for days on end, and you risk high cholesterol.

Surefire way to score you a chance of spending your MediSave at the hospital when heart attack strikes.

You poor thing. Wang is much better, so is Killiney. Maybe you shouldn't be eating so much egg. Half boiled eggs aren't very good for health, especially if left aside. It's a good thing they don't have salmonella here.

Tell you quick tips for breakfast later. Check pm.

 

[wrcboi]

Isn't the recommendation to have not more than 3 eggs a week?

just eat egg whites, 3 a day no problem

 

[eatshitndie]

just eat egg whites, 3 a day no problem

sherlock holmes and dr. watson have 2 half-boiled eggs each day, as they were afraid of nothing but old age.

Traditional English breakfasts have bacon, sausage, eggs and even kidneys and liver. If they ate at least one egg a day, why did they have less problems than what we eat in modern life?

Don't we eat more vegetables, fibre, vitamins and less saturated fats than those people? Are we living longer but not living as healthily?
