If you like to eat local food, you’ll know that no 1 local dish is exactly the same. There’re many places selling char kway teow but every cook will have his own style of preparing the dish. This is probably why once a Singaporean has grown to like a particular stall, the eater will make much effort to hunt down the stall if it moves to another venue.
Angmoh food, on the other hand, is a different story. Whether you buy a Fillet O’ Fish from the McDonald’s at Bedok or the one at Jurong, the burger tastes the same.
Which I think is why some angmohs & probably some MNCs fail to appreciate the uniqueness of a local dish & the value the cook brings to the table.
This is how customers are lost.
