Home cooked Hokkien prawn and beef noodle
It wont be cheap if I wanna sell the above because of the cost involved. The 5 big prawns cost 50 cents each (5 = $2.50). The beef is another $1. Bean sprout is 5 cents plus the noodles,black fungus etc is 70 cents. Total cost without labour and rental (in case I rent a stall or place)comes to about $4.20c.
So what is the amount should I charge the customers for a bowl of the above? At least $8 to make a profit of about $3.80 per bowl? Too expensive right? Perhaps, $7 a bowl and make $2.80 from it.
Then what about rental and the workers' salaries? Lets assume that I am able to sell 200 bowls a day and I will take in a profit before salaries and rental of $560. Putting $200 for rental a day and $100 for the salary of 2 workers, I will be able to make a net profit of $260 a day which comes up to $7,800 a month(before tax).
However, getting a place at a good location will double the profit by selling 400 bowls a day. Sure, the rental may also double up to $12,000 a month. I would need to have another extra worker. The net profit would then be about $20,100 which is very good. Do you think I should give it a try after all the prawn mee cooked by me taste super good?
Home cooked Hokkien prawn pork rib noodle
Finally, I have found the right recipe for this prawn noodle dish. Relatives who ate told me it was absolutely super delicious. These type of comments have spurred me on to start thinking of setting up a stall, selling the above. I humbly agreed that this Hokkien prawn plus pork rib mee is the best I've ever eaten. Anyone like to join me in my new venture?
My lunch today: Sin Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice better than most
Chong Boon Market & Food Centre, Blk 453A Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 #01-97 s561453 (Ang Mo Kio).
We ordered half a chicken plus some liver and gizzards and 3 plates of rice. Total cost was $15.50cts.
The service was as good as the food. The overall assessment is definitely good.
I will snap more pictures the next time I visit the place.
