Food Court King
George Quek is someone who I’ve admired for a long time. The man is known as the Food Court King and founded the BreadTalk Chain of bakeries not only built an empire in selling fancy bread with fancy bread name and I’m absolutely humbled by this man who prefers plain porridge instead of fancy meals anytime.
A true nouveau riche story, someone who have only a secondary school education and comes from humble beginnings. And yes i’ve met the man once.. and he claims to be an ordinary man with no particular talent nor is he very smart but very determined. And determined he is with 140 BreadTalk outlets in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and franchises in Indonesia, the Philippines, Kuwait, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Taiwan; 19 foodcourts in China; two in Singapore; one in Hong Kong; and two restaurant, one cannot but admired a man like him.
