SINGAPORE - Seeing fewer customers at his family's wet market seafood store in Bukit Gombak, Sin Chwee Mini Market second-generation owner Jimmy Goh decided to swim with the tide and digitalise the business to reach out to customers of his generation. In April, Mr Goh, 28, rolled out an e-commerce arm of the business called Tankfully Fresh that allows customers to order fresh seafood online and get it delivered to their doorsteps island-wide the next day. He is confident of carving out a niche in a grocery delivery space that includes the major supermarket chains here and online supermarket RedMart. "We called it Tankfully Fresh because it's the feeling we want our customers to have when they open their package, like 'heng ah, it's fresh'," said Mr Goh, using the Hokkien term for thankfully or luckily. "We recognise that customers today value convenience and they also want to eat healthy. So our proposition is why buy frozen seafood when you can buy fresh and have it delivered to you." … [Read more...] about Wet market seafood delivered to your doorstep, thankfully fresh

DELIVERING on online’s new frontier
With its headquarters in Jakarta, HappyFresh has operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The company delivers groceries from its partners’ stores to customers’ doorsteps in as little as one hour. Its Thai operation will also invest a lot in what it calls customers’ facing applications to provide the best user experience, says Sagan, a Polish national who assumed the top post at HappyFresh Thailand late last year. By the customer facing apps, he means HappyFresh applications for Android and IOS that enable its customers to place orders. The company’s delivery network now covers around 90 per cent of Bangkok and some parts of Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan. It has 15 local partners, including the big retailers like Tesco, Big C and Gourmet Market, as well as small specialty stores offering groceries from very narrow market niches. Sagan adds that the company has focused on the quality and completeness of assortment offered rather than the … [Read more...] about DELIVERING on online’s new frontier

By Kristie Rieken The Associated Press Sat., May 11, 2019 HOUSTON—Stephen Curry scored all 33 of his points in the second half and the Golden State Warriors overcame Kevin Durant’s absence to finish off Houston in six games, beating the Rockets 118-113 on Friday night to advance to the NBA Western Conference final. Klay Thompson added 27 points to help the two-time defending champion Golden State reach the conference final for the fifth straight year and eliminate Houston for the fourth time in five seasons. The Warriors did it with Durant sidelined by a calf injury sustained in the second half of their Game 5 victory. James Harden led Houston with 35 points, and Chris Paul added 27. Harden’s layup got the Rockets within three with less than a minute to go, but Thompson made a three-pointer with 36.1 seconds remaining to extend Golden State’s lead to 110-104. Gerald Green then missed a three for Houston and the Rockets were forced to foul Curry. … [Read more...] about Curry’s hot half helps Warriors knock out Rockets in six
Charity distributes ready-to-eat meals to the needy this Ramadan
For many people, briyani and seafood fried rice are affordable coffee shop meals. But for the needy, these are luxuries and a far cry from regular meals of biscuits and instant noodles. Local charity Free Food For All is aiming to help these people - along with those who may not be physically able to cook - this Ramadan, by distributing a wider variety of halal food. Ramadan began last night. Today is the first day of the fasting month, when Muslims refrain from eating or drinking from dawn to dusk. They will celebrate Hari Raya Puasa, marking the end of the month, on June 5. Hoping to ensure no one goes hungry during Ramadan, the charity worked with a food manufacturing company in Brunei to create ready-to-eat meals that can be kept for at least a year. These meals can be microwaved, heated on a stove or eaten out of the package. They are made from fresh ingredients and contain no preservatives. "This technology is not new. But we wanted to use this concept to help the less privileged … [Read more...] about Charity distributes ready-to-eat meals to the needy this Ramadan
Stephan Curry may still get last laugh

By Ben Golliver The Washington Post Sun., May 5, 2019 HOUSTON—Before the Toyota Center crowd erupted in cheers, it erupted in laughter. Stephen Curry has dished out more than his fair share of humiliation during his career, but he was on the receiving end Saturday night. The Golden State Warriors guard capped a nightmarish closing stretch in fitting fashion, blowing an uncontested dunk during the final minute of a 126-121 overtime loss to the Houston Rockets. With the defence ceding the paint, Curry rose off one leg for a right-handed slam before suffering a fate known well to rec-leaguers worldwide: He got hung up on the front of the rim. “Not my finest moment,” Curry grimaced afterward. The botched dunk was met with unadulterated glee both in the building and on social media. For those victimized by Curry’s shooting exploits, annoyed by his celebrations or envious of his success, the lowlight was a long-awaited cause for celebration.
