Bob Wells Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm not surprised. I always got the "I'm still hungry" vibe from this place. Looks like the market agreed the concept was flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the market agreed the concept was flawed. You must have a bigger appetite than I. A co-worker and i used to frequent the Shophouse at Gallery Place and I can't remember a time when I ever left there with a "I'm still hungry' vibe or even quiver. Never rice, always noodles, chicken, and red curry dressing and I was good the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the vibe from what I read about the place, so I never tried it. If I left hungry, I'd simply say, "I left hungry." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadarene Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I always enjoyed them. I'll miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Wells Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The comments are far more illuminating than the story. A few mention the small portions, others call the food crap. Others say too spicy, while still others say no taste at all. Others say the food was not asian enough. Still others say the name was a poor choice. Good B-School case here! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2017/03/11/why-chipotles-southeast-asian-chain-couldnt-make-it-work/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-lifestyle%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.2561a6d2966f#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
