The Italian Baker vs Gardenia

I don't usually go to work in the morning so I don't get to see the van of the The Italian baker and the Gardenia. But three days ago, I had to start work early as one of my cashiers was on leave. 

So I was surprised to see both vans came at the same time and surprisingly they were on talking terms. I thought Gardenia hates Massimo as much as Massimo hates Gardenia.

The Italian Baker supplies the Massimo bread..

The Gardenia Bakeries supplies Gardenia bread.

The sales merchandisers are rather efficient and 
both types of bread acquire good sales in my shop.


Which do you prefer?
Massimo or Gardenia?

    I prefer Gardenia multigrain (Sommerset Cottage) bread and not Gardenia new series of wholemeal bread that has light orange, orange, green, purple packaging. I eat Massimo whole wheat 100% bread once in a while but not often because its sodium content is higher than Gardenia multigrain bread. I do not take white bread, only wholemeal or multigrain.

    But I consume daily 7-grains Sprouted Bread from Adventist Bakery although I find it a little too sweet so I eat it together with either the above Gardenia or Massimo bread so that it will not taste that sweet.

    Does your shop sell the Gardenia European Cottage Style Bread, - Sommerset Cottage, Passione Italiana and Bonjour? 7-11 and the usual sundry shop do not sell this range so it is quite troublesome for me to get it from supermarket.

    The sales merchandisers are just working for a living so I don't think they will hate each other although they are from rival bakery brands.

    Good night and sweet dreams, Wenn!

    Before Massimo everyone likes Gardenia. Before Massimo, Gardenia's competitor should be High5!

    well, i am not surprised that the delivery men were talking to each other.. after all they are just employees in the same industry, there's just no need to hate each other because they are of competing brands.. anyway, i used to buy Gardenia but now i have already switched to buying Massimo..

    This is a very interesting post! Someone posted this question in facebook before asking everyone to boycott Gardenia based on political reasons and price.

      I am not surprised that delivery drivers are often friends. It would be their marketing salesmen who might kill each other on the streets!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
