Research!
- Spent quite a bit of time today in the Lifelong Learning Library (LLiBrary) at Paya Lebar. Amazing facility! Got my first book on the food and beverage industry- a how-to book on setting up a restaurant. While it is definitely more detailed than I need at the moment, it is a good starter into this new world.
I also took a look at reviews of SaladStop! and blogs on the salad-scene in Singapore to get an idea of what people like/dislike about salad shops here. My first impression is that variety and flexibility are major plus-points for SaladStop!, while cost is a bit of a concern. More surprisingly, service quality is a major issue - while people expect quick and efficient service, they would like smiles too. Quite a demanding bunch!
Interestingly, I didn't see too many people laud SaladStop! for their work in sourcing ingredients from nearby (less than 72 hours of travel time) as well as good quality and sustainable meat. I wonder if people are actually interested in this at all. More importantly, I wonder if other salad shops source their ingredients responsibly. This is something that I will need to look into -> my next research idea.
- Spent some time in the Alliance Francaise library. Sadly, it turns out that the other beginner books I picked up weren't as easy to read as I had thought they would be. So Zoe was leading me on... haha! On the plus side, this means that I have quite a bit of new vocabulary to pick up!
