Survival for the fittest in my local town
Recently, a local okonomiyaki restaurant changed the menu they had out front. Something like ‘shogayaki-teishoku’ or a ginger pork set meal, costs 20 ringgits. I went there once when it first opened. I paid 80 ringgits for an okonomiyaki set meal and two glasses of beer. The taste wasn't bad, but okonomiyaki isn't high-end food to begin with. The chawanmushi that comes with the set meal is unnecessary. Whenever I saw them, they didn't have many customers, so I thought they might close soon, but by changing the menu, they might be able to survive a little longer. On the same street, there was also a tempura restaurant that closed after a few months. I forgot how much it cost, but it was expensive, which meant they didn't charge that much for tempura. I never went there. On the other hand, there is an izakaya-style restaurant that is doing surprisingly well. It started out with seafood bowls and yakitori as its main dishes. You can buy beer and sake from a vending machi...
