Makansutra Seetoh says Kay Lee duck recipe too expensive

[Alamaking]

He said he would use $400,000 to buy/learn the recipe from a duck master at GuangDong and use $1.6 million to open branches to sell the ducks..... only need $2 million....

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

That fella is good at eating. Can't cook nothing. Obviously, he is good at talking as well.

 

[Cestbon]

I think Seetoh is right.
Money wise. China duck recipe is much much better than Sinkiepore.

I do agree with him, but he dun need to comment about it now leh, Kay Lee havent sold it yet, tio sabor sia....

I knew Seetoh when he was a photographer, he's a prick.

Shit! My grandma should have sold her recipes. She could do duck from alive to cooked, whether braised, roasted or boiled, very deliciously. Missed opportunity.

Sitoh also talk chock lah. I got 2 million might as well just hire that China man to cook and spend the rest opening more branches

If China man gone hire another one loh. Or make sure your other chefs, learn kungfu when he is around. Seriously just because chef leaves doesn't mean end of the restaurant if not all those big restaurant will be closing down every other month. My family run stall so many decades. change cook also haven't collapse the family biz yet

Once any recipe is sold, the standard will drop drastically.

A recipe should not be sold, but rather be passed down from generation to generation, from parent to child, from master to disciple.

It's not just cooking food. It also applies for crafts such as tailoring, woodworking, watchmaking, gemcutting etc.

Once you monetize the skill, the end product becomes crap.

If you don't believe me, observe what happens to Kay Lee roast meat after the old couple has died or retired and the new owner takes charge.

Sell breakfast/snack kinda food. Business pretty good but elders dont want us to take over coz they say hard life.

U dun do that the recipe and food tradition will die off. Like my family, the elders don't want our gen to take over coz hard life, after they are gone the recipe will disappear liao. That's why nowadays so many stalls just get the ingredients and recipe from supplier, standard lagi worse.

Seriously someone needs to open a cooking school to teach cooking local food and get those old timers who wants to retire but no one to take over to pass on their knowledge. Our food culture is slowly dying off coz our generation either dun want/dun know or cannot take over. We need to stop this else in the future all U see are FTs using supplier ingredients and recipe serving crap food like those at Food courts or places like LPS.

If I have 2 million, I'll go eat duck every week. Why would I want to buy the recipe, put in more $$ to manage the stall and slog from morning to night?
Siao.....

Anyway, the best roast duck I ever eaten is a store called 'Restoran Sunrise' in PJ. With a buddy, we can eat one whole duck.

Try the one in Taman Connaught.....way better than those meats in Kay Lee. The steamed soup is better too.

 

[BuiKia]

i have eaten Kay Lee before. It is okay but not that great. Slightly above average.

Would I miss it if it is gone? not really as there a few nice one around too.
