No Kopitiam is long gone, replaced by Singapore Restaurant which has in turn closed down! (or was it the other way around? In any case - no more Singapore restaurant at that location sadly)

And I agree with sexrookie's assessment that the Number 8 Restaurant is IMHO the worst cha chaan teng in CP ...that pretends to also be a sort of high class restaurant after they redecorated last year....with supposedly nice Chinese furniture, but which is so uncomfortable to sit on.
The food is also weird - not Hong Kong style, not China style, in fact I think no style at all!! - and certainly very expensive for what you get.
No wonder its always empty any time of the day/night.

Next door to this though (closer to Starbucks), the JuFu restaurant is pretty good and is a suitable place for "date Nights" too. Their Chicken A La King is great for Lunch after drinking the night before! Accompanied by a complimentary and simple Wok Fried Greens, it hits the spot! There is another Jufu Branch towards Tesco, next to the main China Telecom office.

Hong Kong is losing to Singapore as Pearl River Delta's role model

Despite warnings it is to Lion City, not southern neighbour, Guangzhou looks for urban renewal

Ivan Zhai


Back in 2008, when he was Executive Council convenor, Leung Chun-ying warned that Hong Kong faced being marginalised in the mainland's rapid economic development.

Five years later, and now Hong Kong's Chief Executive, he has been presented with proof, with Hong Kong losing out to Singapore as a development model for the Pearl River Delta.

Guangzhou's city government announced one of its biggest urban renewal projects in years late last month, saying it would team up with CapitaLand, which is 40 per cent owned by Temasek, Singapore's state-owned investment company, to rebuild the city's Datansha Island, with total investment in the project of up to 28 billion yuan.

Local media reported that CapitaLand would be responsible for designing and rebuilding the 3.55 square kilometre island, in western Guangzhou. Other Singaporean companies would provide basic services to residents, including rubbish sorting and kindergartens. Guangzhou said it would make Datansha a "mini Singapore".

It was the second time in five years that Guangdong officials had revealed intense interest in the Singapore model. In 2010, they signed agreements with Temasek subsidiary Singbridge to jointly develop a new satellite town in the city's northeast over two decades.

The new town, Guangzhou Knowledge City, will be the third state-level Sino-Singapore co-operation project on the mainland, after the Suzhou Industrial Park in the 1990s and Tianjin Eco-city in the late 2000s.

It is no surprise that Singapore is wielding more influence on the mainland, with top leaders in Beijing long having admired and tried to learn from the model created by the political strongman Lee Kuan Yew.

The Datansha case shows that Hong Kong companies are losing out to Singaporean ones in their own backyard.

Challenges such as the global financial crisis of 2008 and Guangdong's introduction of policies to attract more hi-tech industries have shaken the foundations of the Pearl River Delta's Hong Kong-owned factories, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises in low-end manufacturing industries.

The Federation of Hong Kong Industries warned last week that 10 per cent of the delta's Hong Kong-owned factories might move out of the region in the coming two years.

China opened up to global investors more than three decades ago. But only multinational giants and companies supported by state power, like those from Singapore, can gain the upper hand in competition with stronger local players and bargain with mainland governments.

Given the relatively small size of the average Hong Kong company engaged in the manufacturing or service industries north of the border, it is easy to imagine the difficulties they face. Many Hong Kong businessmen in the region urged their government to provide more support as early as the mid-2000s, when they realised that Pearl River Delta governmental departments would not care about small potatoes any more.

Compared to Singapore, Hong Kong's government failed to meet that challenge.

King-Lun Ngok, the vice-dean of Guangzhou's Sun Yat-sen University's school of government, said Hong Kong had lost its best chance to expand further on the mainland market years ago.

He said Hong Kong was supposed to be an ideal place to organise training courses for mainland civil servants, but it turned out many mainland cities had been sending cadres to Singapore to learn from its civil servants because Hong Kong was not enthusiastic about providing such training.

The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (Cepa), which grants Hong Kong firms preferential market access, was probably the biggest gift given by Beijing in a decade. In his policy address, Leung said he would promote Cepa to more mainland regions, as well as enhance co-operation with more provinces.

However, Leung should keep in mind that government also has a role to play in external markets, where Hongkongers are competing with investors from other countries or regions. That is the principle followed by Singapore's government, which has helped its companies gain more projects in the Pearl River Delta time and again.

Given Hong Kong's long battle with Singapore for the right to be regarded as Asia's bastion of free enterprise, it would be ironic if it end up facing another version of the Lion City right across the border.

Was curious to see double posts by abcda on the Guangzhou thread which reads as follows:

Bros, please take abcda's (and xiiaochen, lin888's) postings with a very large grain of salt!

Curous, I decided to see what else he'd written on the boards.

ONLY to find the same supposed FR on the Beijing, Shuzou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongging etc boards as well as his blatant advertisements - also posted all over the place - stating:

hi bro,

I can recommend a China pornography massage website

this webpage gals really works

http://www.enjo.................

AND then I also discovered the same exact advertisement posted by xiiaochen and lin888 - which leaves me to wonder what other nicks he'd assumed here.

I have no problems with anybody advertising on here; if its OK with the owners/moderators, it's of course OK with me. But when somebody makes up a supposed experience and then disguise it as a report, IMHO, this is totally misleading and takes a lot away from other bro's ACTUAL experience and reporting.


Just thought I'd put out a bit of warning.

Thanks for the kind words. And am not any avenger or anything like it actually.

I just enjoy reading up other's adventures/reports for the information therein and in turn sharing any information or insight I have.

As such, I really do think that the INTEGRITY of reports is very important. And when somebody tries to pull the wool over all of us by making up glowing stories JUST TO ADVERTISE or sell his/her services, it is a grave injustice to the rest of us who do contribute to the information flow.

Hope you guys don't mind my rather heavy hand on this matter.

Thank you all
