Wow! Fried rice at Han now cost over $9 bucks !!

[enterprise2]

Was it that long ago when we can get some cheap and good chow at Hans at $6-$7 per plate. Today I see they have gone upmarket with some renovation and new menu and jacked up their prices!! Look like I will have to add Han to my boycott list but if this carries on I may have no place to makan !!

Eat at home, healthier and cheaper.

Food served at F&B establishments comes with lots of:
1) food additives, e.g. MSG
2) preservatives, e.g. sodium benzoate
3) cheap and low quality cooking oil
4) salt (too much of it is unhealthy)
5) past expiry date frozen food

Worse still, if food handlers are from china, they'll add their china-made additives to make food taste good in order to keep their jobs. You'll never know what you're eating.

Han's is one of the few local F&B chains that is spectacularly successful. Old Chang Kee is the other one.

Just go to the vast Han's outlet at Great Eastern Building and you will see the huge crowds. Even on a Sunday, where the city centre is more or less empty without office workers, that Han's outlet is very busy. Han's should do like Old Chang Kee did and that is go for an IPO. I would surely buy its shares.

I miss the old Hans from when they started at The Arcade at Battery Road ( they are still there, staff had changed), where I used to have breakfast there regularly sometimes lunch & mostly in the morning for their chocolate Eclairs in a paper bag on the way to office. Patronize their Far East branch for dinners, or when around that part of the world & looking for something to eat. In fact had been eating at Han's for years..until the owner appeared on TV & they did a TV spot on him & his family & that was when Han's started to expand.

Now their food are crappy...even at their Novena Square Branch in which I eat regularly too. Their old Hainanese cooks have all or almost gone or retired. What we have today are cooks from their teaching kitchen. Now we find Pinoy cooks, I think PRC cooks...cooking. We are missing the Han's signature taste cooked by the Hainanese whom we we once used to get.

I have not eaten at Han's for a very long time..& avoid them whenever I see them, that goes for Old Chang Kee.

I used to have my breakfast at the joint inside NTUC in Marine Parade. Unfortunately after NTUC renovated, they took Han out which was a pity.

I am with you. Missed the one at Arcade. Nice uncle and aunty, good service and you sort of feel at home. Good value as well.

East Point is under major renovation. They chase everybody out except Fairprice.

Inflation has caused prices to go up, if not, portions to shrink.
Best is just go hawker centre or cook at home.

Nasi lemak $13, fried rice $9 and in 5 years time a plate of char kway teow or chicken rice will cost $20.

When population hits 7m, each plate shud cost $50!

The one that use to serve at Han's is the boss & he was the one that appeared on TV..I thought to myself..there goes my eating place & it did. Arcade Auntie, Uncle know so well that, they know my requirements on how the egg is done, the toast & the coffee. Even for their other dishes on the menu. The staff there knew the regular customers there by sight or by name. Really miss the kind of relationship we used to have with the people where we used to eat at. Now, we have a Pinoy face, a PRC one or even a Myanmar one...who will ask you "YES!"...no Hello!... Mr or Mdm or Ms.... how are you today, the usual??

My light snack on the way to office, always would be their Chocolate Eclair or the Apple Turnover from Deli France.

Really misses the staff at Hans, the Arcade..:p

PAP food court to come with prices of the 1960s? This is the strategy deploy to show that the PAP feels your pain and doing something to address your bread and butter issues.

LHL will on his off days from government work serve you his specialty - Mee Siam with Hum. Mr. Cow, being an ex-Malaysian, will serve Seremban Beef Noodles.

Something to look forward to - PAP Food Court.
