Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee: Great neighbourhood hokkien mee by ex Les Amis chef
Seeking shelter under a HDB block in Toa Payoh after a torturous walk in the midday sun, whatever did I see? Why, it was the smiling face of the Hokkien Mee man, Xavier Neo, looking down at me! The cheery yellow banner of Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee told me I had arrived at my destination. Formerly a sous-chef for Three Michelin Starred French restaurant: Les Amis, Xavier set up his own store under a humble HDB block in Toa Payoh in 2019. He has since amassed a massive cult following and it is said that diners sometimes have to wait up to 45 minutes for a taste of his hokkien mee. In fact, during Covid-19 when he first began his business, there was a constant snaking queue in front of his store. Having heard the horror stories of the winding queues, I had braced myself in advance for a long day ahead. However, to my delight, when I arrived a little past 12 on a weekday afternoon, the lunch crowd had barely begun to form. What I tried at Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee In less than 10 minutes after I ordered, my buzzer rang and out came a piping hot plate of hokkien mee with a delicious wok hei aroma inviting me to dig in. Right off the bat, for S$6.50, the hokkien mee was of a pretty decent size. Topped with two large prawns, a heap of sambal chilli, a cut lime and thinly sliced sotong pieces, the dish certainly looked promising. For those who are feeling hungrier, Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee also offers larger portion sizes at S$12 and S$18 or S$1 for more noodles. If you want more customisation, you can also choose to add more ingredients (S$1 – S$4), egg omelette for S$1 and even baby abalone for S$5. On the very first bite, I noticed how aromatic the prawn broth was. Sweet and flavourful, it worked very well with the mix of the noodles. Starring both yellow noodles, thick white vermicelli and bean sprouts, the dish was full-bodied and the mix of textures was delightful. The taste of the yellow noodles that tended to be very alkaline was just right, and not overpowering at all, working well with the dish. The zhup of Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee's hokkien mee was definitely on the thinner side, so it was not jelak at all and coated the noodles very nicely. Though I'm personally a fan of slightly thicker hokkien mee, this was good, too. The squid could have been cut thicker, but it was perfectly cooked and the way it paired with the fatty slices of thinly-cut pork belly was pure bliss. 'Nameless' Bak Chor Mee Stall: A truly hidden 20-year-old bak chor mee stall, open from 4.30am Despite the excellent wok hei aroma and char present on the noodles, it was a little disappointing to find that the dish itself somehow lacked the wok hei taste. It was a pleasant surprise to find lard after several mouthfuls but, as a strong advocate for the lard game, I do wish there was more of it. Though not the 'main star' of the show, I think everyone's first association with hokkien mee would be the prawns. In this case, Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee's S$6.50 portion comes with two big and fresh prawns. As with most hokkien mee stalls, the prawns were not deveined or fully de-shelled but they were very fresh and juicy. I had heard many great things about Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee's special in-house chilli and was stoked to see if it lived up to its name. But alas, it fell short of my expectations. It was definitely on the sweeter side and you can definitely tell it has been adapted from nasi lemak sambal. Nothing in its flavour profile stood out in particular despite it blending well with their hokkien mee. However, I do think it would be great for those who are unable to tolerate spice as it is a very mellow chilli. Personally, I would have preferred if it had been spicier but that was clearly not the angle they were going for. Final Thoughts If you're looking for hokkien mee that packs a punch, I say look elsewhere. But overall, Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee's hokkien mee is indeed just a cut above the rest. It brings most things one might look for in a good hokkien mee to the table. From a decent zhup, sambal, mix of noodles and other ingredients, it's pretty nice. Expected damage: S$6 – S$10 per pax Swee Guan Hokkien Mee: Shiok charcoal-fried hokkien mee since 1968 at Geylang The post Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee: Great neighbourhood hokkien mee by ex Les Amis chef appeared first on

One in four US adults with diabetes used a GLP-1 drug last year, survey finds
By Bhanvi Satija (Reuters) -More than one in four U.S. adults with diabetes used one of the injectable medicines that target the GLP-1 protein last year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday. The wildly popular and effective GLP-1 drugs Mounjaro from Eli Lilly and Ozempic from Novo Nordisk are approved in the United States for treating type 2 diabetes. They are sold as Zepbound and Wegovy, respectively, for weight loss and are being tested for other conditions. Use of the injectable drugs was highest among adults with diabetes aged 50–64 at 33.3%, reflecting the more significant disease burden in this group, the report said. A quarter or 25.3% of adults with diabetes aged 18 to 34 reported using a GLP-1 drug, while the adoption rate was 20.8% among those 65 and older. The data are from a nationally representative annual survey of U.S. adults aged 18 and older that was conducted in person and with follow-up by phone in 2024. In 2024, for the first time, participants in the annual survey who had diabetes were asked if they were using the Lilly or Novo blockbusters or other GLP-1 drugs to lower blood sugar or lose weight. The drugs mimic the activity of a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, slows digestion and helps people feel full for longer. Drugmakers Lilly and Novo have faced criticism about the cost of the treatments, which carry a list price of about $1,000 for a month's supply. Roughly 31% of survey participants who reported using insulin also reported using GLP-1 drugs, as did about 28% of patients who were using oral drugs to control their blood sugar, according to the report, indicating that these treatments are being integrated into combination regimens. Hispanic adults with diabetes had the highest rate of GLP-1 use, at 31.3%, followed by Black non-Hispanic and White non-Hispanic adults, at 26.5% and 26.2%, respectively, the survey found. Only 12.1% of Asian non-Hispanic adults with diabetes used the drugs, which may reflect disparities in access or adoption of the therapies. Solve the daily Crossword

We Think Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN) Can Easily Afford To Drive Business Growth
Explore Chalice Mining's Fair Values from the Community and select yours Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you'd have done very well indeed. But while history lauds those rare successes, those that fail are often forgotten; who remembers Given this risk, we thought we'd take a look at whether Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN) shareholders should be worried about its cash burn. In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. Let's start with an examination of the business' cash, relative to its cash burn. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. How Long Is Chalice Mining's Cash Runway? A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. In December 2024, Chalice Mining had AU$90m in cash, and was debt-free. Importantly, its cash burn was AU$24m over the trailing twelve months. That means it had a cash runway of about 3.7 years as of December 2024. Importantly, analysts think that Chalice Mining will reach cashflow breakeven in 5 years. Essentially, that means the company will either reduce its cash burn, or else require more cash. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below. Check out our latest analysis for Chalice Mining How Is Chalice Mining's Cash Burn Changing Over Time? Whilst it's great to see that Chalice Mining has already begun generating revenue from operations, last year it only produced AU$446k, so we don't think it is generating significant revenue, at this point. As a result, we think it's a bit early to focus on the revenue growth, so we'll limit ourselves to looking at how the cash burn is changing over time. Notably, its cash burn was actually down by 60% in the last year, which is a real positive in terms of resilience, but uninspiring when it comes to investment for growth. Clearly, however, the crucial factor is whether the company will grow its business going forward. For that reason, it makes a lot of sense to take a look at our analyst forecasts for the company. Can Chalice Mining Raise More Cash Easily? While we're comforted by the recent reduction evident from our analysis of Chalice Mining's cash burn, it is still worth considering how easily the company could raise more funds, if it wanted to accelerate spending to drive growth. Issuing new shares, or taking on debt, are the most common ways for a listed company to raise more money for its business. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate). Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$656m, Chalice Mining's AU$24m in cash burn equates to about 3.7% of its market value. Given that is a rather small percentage, it would probably be really easy for the company to fund another year's growth by issuing some new shares to investors, or even by taking out a loan. How Risky Is Chalice Mining's Cash Burn Situation? As you can probably tell by now, we're not too worried about Chalice Mining's cash burn. For example, we think its cash runway suggests that the company is on a good path. And even its cash burn reduction was very encouraging. Shareholders can take heart from the fact that analysts are forecasting it will reach breakeven. Taking all the factors in this report into account, we're not at all worried about its cash burn, as the business appears well capitalized to spend as needs be. On another note, Chalice Mining has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.
