When a Minister talks about his love for restaurant toothpicks

[BuiKia]

That being said, everyone will take the whole box when they visit DTF.

A Din Tai Fung spokesman said toothpicks are placed on all tables and customers are free to use as many as they like.

Best case - he is cheap, bloody cheap.
Worst case - he is a thief.

Toothpicks are meant for use at the restaurant, not for him to take it home for personal use.

This clearly illustrates the old saying : You can take a bumpkin out of the village but you cannot take the village out of the bumpkin.

LSS has now acquired a new nickname besides CPF Lim - Toothpick Lim aka Geh Chiam Lim

How do you take someone out of context when he openly declared to a live audience that he takes home half a box of toothpicks from a restaurant table?

 

[Narong Wongwan]

I wonder what goes on in his fucktard mind. As if on cue he will make the next gaffe without fail.


He feels the need to be heard? To make some noise lest his 60.1% thinks he's dead?

Feels inspired to share his wisdom? Wants to enlighten everyone?

His hobby is doing comedy and he is testing new material?

Kena bribe by DTF to do advertisement for them?

If I'm him I would just relac one corner out of sight and out if mind shut the fuck up to collect my millions, chobolan to white scums is 2nd nature anyways.

Pappies are not human. They are devils. Keep calm and whack harder.

Very lucky and a blessing for DTF that this miser has low taste and like only toothpicks.

Imagine what will happen if he likes the chandeliers, tables and chairs, etc, and decide to bring them home?

Out of context, the excuse of PAP each time they make a non-sequitur.

When labour chief Lim Swee Say goes to Chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung, his eyes are peeled not so much on its dumplings and noodles, but on its toothpicks.


When labour chief Lim Swee Say goes to Chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung, his eyes are peeled not so much on its dumplings and noodles, but on its toothpicks.


He likes them because they are well-designed and of good quality.
"Many restaurants give you toothpicks, but the toothpick is so big it can never go through, but this one is so fine that whatever is inside sure can come out," he said on Monday.


In fact, he revealed with a laugh, the Din Tai Fung toothpicks are so good, he "can never resist" - he always takes half a box of them during each visit.


"They always serve in a pack," he told reporters at BreadTalk Group's new headquarters in Tai Seng. "And because I go there very early - 10.30 in the morning - always full right. And guess what? By the time I left, normally right, it's half left. The other half is in my pocket."

In fact, Mr Lim had a Din Tai Fung toothpick on him, and showed it to reporters.


The point he wanted to make? "Success never happens by chance," he said.
Companies like BreadTalk and Din Tai Fung -a chain founded in Taiwan and which is run by BreadTalk here - pay attention to the finest details.


During his tour, Mr Lim was shown how BreadTalk has streamlined its work processes to deal with the manpower crunch that has affected the service sector.
A Din Tai Fung spokesman said toothpicks are placed on all tables and customers are free to use as many as they like.


This is what he he is quoted as saying,
"Many restaurants give you toothpicks, but the toothpick is so big it can never go through, but this one is so fine that whatever is inside sure can come out,"
"can never resist"
"They always serve in a pack,"
"And because I go there very early - 10.30 in the morning - always full right. And guess what? By the time I left, normally right, it's half left. The other half is in my pocket."

Ok, why don't you go ahead and tell us how they take it out of context. Apparently, his analogy was in bad taste, and he went on and on about it.

I read and read and read and read - still catch no ball how a good toothpick equates to "Success never happens by chance,"

Goes to show the qualities of these white scums. Always emphasizing the mundane things in life and neglecting the more important issues.

if you dig hard and long enough with a good toothpick, you should be able to successfully dislodge the lemon grass splinter stuck between your top left molars for the past decade. :*:
