The other day whilst having lunch with my colleagues we discussed the issue of food stalls and their evolution from “hit” food stalls to one with hardly any customers. What causes this sudden change?

This year I’m celebrating friendships and today is one of those special days for it is the Birthday of my lovely friend Dao.
