I am a long time taiwan xxl chicken fans.
I've tried all those 4 mentioned.
There are others as well such as Ximenjie & i love taimei.
Imo, Monga is the best in term of original taiwan taste but it is not really convenient as the chicken sold in one piece (no cutting).

It is weird and i cant really pinpoint the reasons but I do prefer Shilin as compared to the other original taiwan brands (except for monga).

Shihlin chicken seems to have more kicks (hot, spicy and peppery just feel right).

Snack latest interim result looks flattish but respectable in view of the COVID situation. Can anyone advise if The company has a dividend policy? Seems like no dividend since IPO though the history is a bit short.

Finally, we may be seeing a dividend for those vested.

Yay! 0.625 Singapore cents in dividends. Probably about 10% of last traded 36 HKD cents share price. Too bad this is not really a liquid counter or else could have built a bigger position for it.

Interestingly what caused their profits to fall despite a higher YoY gross profit is due to higher employee benefit cost and higher inventory cost (Food ingredient prices).

It shows they are a price taker as it seems hard for them to pass on the cost. Employee benefit wise, Im not sure what they are dishing out to their food stall employees.
