Thanks for the trip report. It’s quite interesting as a HK local seeing how others look into company here as to me it’s just daily life. I will endorse your comment about cafe de coral! It’s the go to choice here when you can’t think of food choice but you want healthier stuff than McDonald

CK Ngok,

Have you noticed changes to the competitive landscape since 2024?

Competition from Shenzhen and 'this this rice' seems to be making life difficult for Cafe de Coral. That's my analysis. Do you see this on the ground?

I discuss these issues in detail here: https://angsanaanderson.substack.com/p/first-take-cafe-de-coral-holdings?r=5rl2u5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Thanks for the report Roiss, did you visit or do you have a feeling about BestMart 360 an other small retailera like it?

Hey, yea I visited a BestMart 360. Felt like a stable operation, but no moat. Given that it is very cheap, it might have good returns tho
