Fei Zai Prawn Noodles reopens after 2-month hiatus
Earlier in Mar, Fei Zai announced through a Facebook post that they would be going on a 2-month extended break from 24 Mar to Jun, after 20 years of operation at the same outlet. However, they didn't disclose the reason why.
A netizen claimed to have spoken with the owner before the break, who allegedly shared that the stall would be closed for good due to a rent increase. Regardless of the reason, many customers are just excited to get their prawn mee fix at Fei Zai again after 2 long months.
One such customer even 'went down almost every weekend just to see when will he be back.' There weren't many updates on Fei Zai's socials in this time, so can you blame him?
Now the question is, have the owners lost their touch after the break? You'd be pleased to know that, based on another patron who headed down on their first day of reopening, 'the standard is still great'!
While the standard remained the same, the prices have unfortunately increased, each item by S$0.50.
Here are some of the prices you should take note of before heading down. The cheapest dish on Fei Zai's menu is their Prawn Noodle, priced at S$4.50 and S$5.50. The most popular item on their menu, as depicted by the stall's name, is the Prawn Noodle with Pork Rib (S$6/S$7).
If you're already making the trip down to Fei Zai, might as well go all out and get their Big Prawn with Pork Rib (S$10/S$12), right? Don't worry about making your money's worth, as the small bowl already comes with 2 luxuriously large prawns and pork ribs, immersed in a umami-packed broth scattered with shallots.
Feel free to customise every component of your dish to your preference, from the soup/dry versions to your choice of noodle between yellow mee, kway teow or bee hoon.
This is your sign to try a bowl of this prawn mee, as Fei Zai (Fat Boy) Pork Rib Prawn Noodles reopens. They supposedly close at 1pm, but most dishes are sold out by 11am, so I'd recommend heading down first thing in the AM!

How Well-Built an eCommerce Website Can Transform Small Retailers
Do you know that 2024 marks an 8.4% annual increase, the second-fastest global ecommerce sales growth rate in the forecast period between 2022 and 2028? If you're an eCommerce website for a small business owner, you've probably felt the shift to going everything online. Today, fewer people walk into stores, and more customers prefer just to order online. Why? Because online shopping isn't a 'nice-to-have' anymore, it's a form of comfort. And if your business isn't keeping up, it's not just missing out. It's being left behind. Let's examine exactly why small retailers struggle without an eCommerce site and how the right website can change that. Even the most loyal customers can't support your business if they can't find or access it. Without a retail eCommerce website, here's what many small retailers are up against: Your store might be the best in town, but it's just that it's available physically in one town. You're locked into local foot traffic, seasonal patterns, and geography. That limits your business growth. Physical stores close. People sleep. But your competitors' websites? They sell while your lights are off. If you're only open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., you're missing out on late-night shoppers, impulse buyers, and weekend browsers. You don't own those platforms even if you're active on Instagram or Facebook. An eCommerce website puts you on the map, in search results, and gives you full control over your digital storefront. Still writing down orders? Chasing payments manually? Inventory in spreadsheets? Without an integrated website, you're burning hours (and money) on tasks that could be automated. Now, let's look at what happens when you flip the switch and invest in a well-built, strategically built eCommerce web design. Reach Beyond Your Local Market One of the most powerful shifts you'll notice? Your customers aren't just down the street anymore. With an eCommerce platform for small retailers: You can ship nationwide (or even globally) Reach niche markets that value your products Turn seasonal local demand into year-round income Think of it as opening 10 more stores, without 10x the rent. Boost Brand Credibility & Trust When customers Google your business, they expect a clean, professional website. No website or a poorly built one can make people question your legitimacy. A solid site with: A custom domain Branded visuals Product reviews Clear policies It builds the kind of trust that leads to higher conversion rates and repeat customers. Increase Sales Through Automation This is a game-changer. A good eCommerce site works for you while you sleep. With the right setup: Customers can browse, add to cart, and check out instantly Payments are processed securely and automatically Inventory updates in real-time Email receipts and shipping notifications go out automatically No more handwritten invoices or late-night payment follow-ups. Gather Customer Insights for Smarter Marketing Every click, view, and purchase on your site tells you something. With website analytics, you'll learn: Which products get the most attention Where people drop off during checkout What drives repeat purchases Who are your most valuable customers You can use this data to create better offers, run more targeted promotions and improve your site experience. Improve Customer Experience & Loyalty Customers want convenience. They want to order from their phone, check shipping status, and reorder easily. With features like: Mobile-optimized design Order history and tracking Personalized product recommendations You create an experience that customers want to come back to. Loyalty becomes something you build into your eCommerce business model, not just hope for. Compete with Larger Retailers You may not have the advertising budget of Amazon or Flipkart, but the good news is you don't need it. With the right eCommerce implementation strategy: You can win with personalized service Carve out a niche audience that big brands overlook Compete on values, product quality, or local relevance You don't need to spend a fortune or months on eCommerce development to get started. But you do need to do it right. Here's how: Choose the Right Platform Pick one that's scalable, easy to manage, and supports the features you need. Good options for an eCommerce retail business: Shopify (easy, all-in-one) WooCommerce (flexible, WordPress-friendly) Wix or Squarespace (for simple stores) Avoid platforms that are too complex or require constant developer support if you're just starting. Plus, you can partner with an eCommerce consulting service provider for better guidance. Focus on Mobile-First Design 49% of customers start and end their shopping journeys on retailer websites or apps . So, your site needs to: Load fast Be easy to navigate Have a smooth checkout on mobile If your website doesn't perform well on mobile, you'll lose sales Use High-Quality Photos & Product Descriptions This isn't optional. Online, your product visuals are everything. Show multiple angles Use real customer photos if possible Write clear, benefit-focused descriptions (not just specs) This helps build confidence and reduces return rates. Set Up Secure Payment & Shipping Options Your customers expect a frictionless checkout process. Make sure your site supports: Multiple payment methods (UPI, cards, wallets) Secure SSL encryption Reliable shipping integrations Automated order confirmations When checkout is smooth, trust goes up and so do conversions. Building an eCommerce website isn't just a digital upgrade. It's a transformation strategy for small retailers looking to survive and thrive in today's market. You get: Bigger reach Better sales systems Richer customer insights Stronger brand perception So if you're still relying only on your physical store, consider this your sign and start with an eCommerce website management. It's time to go digital and go big. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Supreme Court allows Mississippi to require age verification on social media
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Thursday refused for now to block enforcement of a Mississippi law aimed at regulating the use of social media by children, an issue of growing national concern. The justices rejected an emergency appeal from a tech industry group representing major platforms like Facebook, X and YouTube. NetChoice is challenging laws passed in Mississippi and other states that require social media users to verify their ages, and asked the court to keep the measure on hold while a lawsuit plays out. There were no noted dissents from the brief, unsigned order. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that there's a good chance NetChoice will eventually succeed in showing that the law is unconstitutional, but hadn't shown it must be blocked while the lawsuit unfolds. NetChoice argues that the Mississippi law threatens privacy rights and unconstitutionally restricts the free expression of users of all ages. A federal judge agreed and prevented the 2024 law from taking effect. But a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in July that the law could be enforced while the lawsuit proceeds. It's the latest legal development as court challenges play out against similar laws in states across the country. Parents and even some teenagers are growing increasingly concerned about the effects of social media use on young people. Supporters of the new laws have said they are needed to help curb the explosive use of social media among young people, and what researchers say is an associated increase in depression and anxiety. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch told the justices that age verification could help protect young people from 'sexual abuse, trafficking, physical violence, sextortion and more,' activities that Fitch noted are not protected by the First Amendment. NetChoice represents some of the country's most high-profile technology companies, including Google, which owns YouTube; Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat; and Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. NetChoice has filed similar lawsuits in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Utah. Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center, called the decision "an unfortunate procedural delay.' 'Although we're disappointed with the Court's decision, Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence makes clear that NetChoice will ultimately succeed in defending the First Amendment — not just in this case but across all NetChoice's ID-for-Speech lawsuits," he said.

The Supreme Court lets Mississippi's social media age-verification law go into effect
The Supreme Court has decided not to weigh in on one of the many state-level age-verification laws currently being reviewed across the country. Today, the top court chose not to intervene on legislation from Mississippi about checking the ages of social media users, denying an application to vacate stay from NetChoice. The Mississippi law requires all users to verify their ages in order to use social media sites. It also places responsibility on the social networks to prevent children from accessing "harmful materials" and it requires parental consent for minors to use any social media. NetChoice represents several tech companies — including social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube — and it sued to block the law on grounds that it violates the First Amendment. A district court ruled in favor of NetChoice, but the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted its temporary block. Although Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied the application to vacate stay on the appeals court ruling, he also wrote that "NetChoice has, in my view, demonstrated that it is likely to succeed on the merits—namely, that enforcement of the Mississippi law would likely violate its members' First Amendment rights under this Court's precedents." He denied the application because NetChoice "has not sufficiently demonstrated that the balance of harms and equities favors it at this time." This decision means that, at least for now, Mississippi's law will be allowed to stand. "Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence makes clear that NetChoice will ultimately succeed in defending the First Amendment," said Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center. "This is merely an unfortunate procedural delay." There are several other state laws being assessed at various points in the US legal system. Some are centered on adult content providers such as pornography sites , while others are more broadly targeting social media use. Arkansas and Florida have seen federal judges block their laws, while Texas and Nebraska are working toward adopting their own rules about social media for minors. Yahoo, the parent company of Engadget, is a member of NetChoice.
