HIGH CREDIBILITY STRAITS TIMES: LIM SWEE SAY SAYS DIN TAI FUNG HAS THE BEST TOOTHPICKS

Post date:

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.

slap my head!

this court jester just loves acting cute but not cute at all, crack the silly jokes ..... silly yes, funny no.

maybe the pap should just pay him million toothpicks for all his lame antics.

So he stole so many toothpicks to dig his shit out? Really a clown. And dishonest too.

Toothpick design is created by the toothpick maker, not DTF. What a blurfuck!

i think this lame court jester fails miserably in his post. workers are not getting a fair deal for their salaries have remained quite stagnant. yet this idiot still soft threat them that if they were to ask for higher pays, companies would move elsewhere. he rather the companies exploit the ppl than to demand for a fairer deal.

this is the type of craps the cuntry is paying million$ for. what a big fat joke!

This minister is very observant and he understands how businesses thrive and prosper. This is a rarity amongst unionists and Singapore is lucky to have someone of his calibre in the labour movement.

In most countries, union leaders don't have a clue how businesses need to be run and for this reason, they literally bite the hand that feeds them by making unrealistic demands.

The net result is that jobs are lost and businesses move elsewhere.

You mean foreigners lost their jobs in SG and business owned by foreigners moved elsewhere in this case? I don't give a shit about it.
If he had visited the place where they prepared the food, i m sure he won't dine in there anymore.

the gahmen's logic is primarily the concern about their own pockets first. citizens are digits which are ranked under disposable.

DESPICABLE ME is what that is all about sg gahmen and the citizens who are the "minions". just wondering. did those film maker get the idea while visiting this cuntry?
