    may mgapinoy na nag provide ng removalist / moving / delivery and pick up ng small items like furniture in ikea. Maliit lang van na ginagamit nila.

    Pwede cguro Uber since hindi pa mahigpit policy ng Uber in Aus unlike sa ibang bansa na nireregulate / piang babawal unless you are using commercial vehicle.

    Pinoy business in au..so far si forexworld and si iremit pinaka successful. Restos na pinoy hindi mabenta sa ozzies. Yung nasa bondi nag close down na...: ( pero yung sa blacktown na parang carenderia go pa rin kasi sobrang dami ng pinoy in blacktown..hehhehe.

    why do you think hindi mabenta ang pinoy resto sa ozzies??
    or maybe the style? hindi sila familiar sa carinderia set-up?
    or hindi pa sila familiar sa filipino cuisine? versus our asian neighbors..

    check this one.. fine dining, filipino-asian-australian fusion...
    havent tried this, pero nabasa ko lang..

    Walang masyadong variation or authenticity na kilala ng foreign.
    - palaging may influence ang food natin ng ibang bansa na nag colonize sa pinas.

    More on expensive conmpare mo sa chinese na mga takeaway. kung ibaiba lang nila price or tapatan mga chiense takeaway bka mapilitan na subukan at eventually magustuhan ng foreign yung food.

    Sikatl ang na gusto nila ung lechon... pero chinese chop may binebenta din sila similar -- maalat nga lang.

    Kaso hindi tipong pang regular mo kakainin litson lalo na forign na mga health conscious.


    I tried hoy pinoy sa pyrmont last night - yung nbigay sakin na bbq sa stick 3 pirasong slice ng chiken - tingin ko hindi worth na $6.00 MEdyo matabang timpla tpos yung atsara maasim lang (depende sa preference ng kumakain).

    Mas marami pa yung bbq sa "Daniel San" (nagbbenta ng bbq din on that event). KAlahati stick hehehe...

    Overall experience ko dun - mas may nakainan pa ko na mga lutong bahay na bbq na mas masarap ang timpla.


    Tpos may lumapit sakin na teenager, nagtatanong san daw ako nakabili ng rice... sabi ko dun sa Hoy Pinoy.... pag tigin ko sa menu... nakasulat pala KAnin / hindi pnasinin yung rice - hehehe.... kaya pala hindi kaagad napansin

    I bought my friends (not pinoys) to a filipino resto yung malapit sa chinatown katabi ng mamak. Mamak is malaysian ang haba ng pila sa labas during lunch and sa pinoy resto kami lng.
    1. Mahal ang pinoy resto (sydney cbd and bondi which is now closed) if not in blacktown yung carenderia style.
    2. Oily and fatty
    3. Serving size is small compared to more popular thai/indonesian/malaysian and chinese restos.
    4. Not much veggies options.
    5. Mostly pinoys lng go to the pinoy restos. If may ozzie naman just to try or those married to pinoys. So no sustainability.
    6. Too salty daw ang pinoy dishes. Alm ko yung chinese use alot of salt too pero na master na nila yung ozzie taste na tapered down na yung salt.
    7. It is a mostly pork menu..not much variety. may 1 or 2 beef dish lng.
    8. Also most pinoys can cook naman so if ayaw nila sa isang resto kasi mahal or anuman..magluluto na lng sa bahay.

    dahil na din siguro sa mahal raw materials kaya mahal benta nila. unfortunately, pag Pinoy ang bibili, auto-convert agad sa mind eh (from 6$ biglang naging 200 pesos sa isip). hihihi

    Sa akin, hindi mabenta kasi kahit anong gusto kong Pinoy food, kaya naman lutuin sa bahay. so bakit ako lalabas? I can have my Adobo, Sinigang, Kaldereta, Kare-Kare, atbp any day of the week. Ang hirap lang ako is sisig and dinuguan kasi wala ata masyado nagtitinda ng laman loob dito.

    It is very good apparently because there is a shortage of day care centre here and no matter what happens, kailangan ito sa karamihan ng mga double earners.

    Ang maganda pa is that may gov't subsidy for this so kahit papaano may tulong ang gov't sa business na ito.

    I don't know about the barrier to entry though - but I think it should not be too difficult.

    hindi parati pero ako at ang circle of friends ko sa SG, after 4 yrs. ko sa SG while sila 9 yrs. plus sa SG, ganoon pa din - auto-convert. kaya minsan lang kumain sa labas, o piling-pili lang bibilhin sa labas. thankful na din ako kasi nakatipid kahit papaano. hehe

    A friend told me na okay ang daycare business sa oz... any thoughts?..
    It is very good apparently because there is a shortage of day care centre here and no matter what happens, kailangan ito sa karamihan ng mga double earners.

    Ang maganda pa is that may gov't subsidy for this so kahit papaano may tulong ang gov't sa business na ito.

    I don't know about the barrier to entry though - but I think it should not be too difficult.
    @TasBurrfoot- Thanks sa reply. I will think about this in details soon...
