most New Yorkers would just settle with hotdogs, pizza, taco bell, kfc, burger king or mcd fast food. maybe they'd try these once in a while

Angmoh only know basic Chinese food like fried rice and dim sum, they have no idea what food we are selling there.
Beehoon, CKT, chicken rice, Hokkien prawn noodle, kopi or teh

Found this interview. Somehow the idea was linked to late Antony Bourdain. Seetoh shed light on the whole concept and plan....
Watch the part where he said the operating cost is much cheaper than food court in orchard road....he also reveal the cheap nasi lemak right now in NY is....guess...

depending on locations, types of food served and cooking standards, and lots of luck. fast food chains like noodle box selling fried noodle and fried rice with takeaways, are doing quite well in BC
got friends set up chinese restaurants in Charlotte, Richmond and toronto, all are doing very well. the late tv comedian ye feng had aso opened one in BC. food was good but closed down soon because of bad business
