Day 37 - Lunch at Ajisen

Today is a free day for us, what a good feeling! We left the hostel at 11am and purchased flavored drinks at the local bubble tea shop. My friend called for our usual private contractor to chauffeur us to Grand Ocean shopping mall where we had lunch at Ajisen japanese restaurant.


Bubble Tea Shop
This is our favorite bubble tea shop located 50 meters from our school's gate. There is a wide variety of sweet treats such as strawberry, cranberry, ice blended, coffee flavored drinks.


Personal Favorite
Ribena with lemon is my personal favorite. I will never walk pass this shop without a cup of ribena drink in my hand!


Ajisen Restaurant
Welcome to Ajisen Japanese Restaurant!


Outlets
These are the countries which has Ajisen outlets.


Superb Meal
Believe it or not, a Katsu Don (Curry Pork Rice) + 2 X 6 pieces of sushi, only costs $43yuan (S$8.70). What a scrumptious meal in a fine atmosphere at a reasonable price!


A Terrifying Terrorist
Just being lame for a bit, I wore a scarf on my face that I just purchased.

REFLECTIONS

Food pricing here in China is way cheaper than Singapore's. The reason behind it is because China is the food producer, whereby foods are delivered shortly to the respective stores. However in Singapore, food products from China has to be shipped across long distances, which incur large sums of transportation costs. This is why transportation and logistics is a lucrative business.

On the other hand, fast food outlets such as KFC and Mac Donalds still cost the same as Singapore's. Thus, we do not have any significant interest in fast food here. As a matter of fact, fast food in China is much healthier than roadside stalls, because there is less oil and salt content when prepared. Roadside stalls will prepare their food with endless amount of spices, whereas fast food outlets have to follow standard recipe all around the world.


A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body.
