Fei Fei Crab Restaurant – Passion and Persistence Reap Rewards for Award-winning Restaurateur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 22, 2017 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Despite having just turned 30 earlier this year, Tan Nam Kun or as he knows to his fans, Chef Minamikon, still looks boyish and has the demeanour of the friendly, dependable young man next door. Although he has achieved massive fame with multiple seafood restaurants spread throughout Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, received three entrepreneurship business awards and is said to be the “Culinary Crab King”, he has not let glory get to his head.

Tan shares that life has always been challenging from young as he did not come from a rich family. He had to build his business empire from ground zero, learning the ropes and fine-tuning his skills and knowledge day by day.

Initially trained in multimedia design, operating a food business, what more, a gourmet crab and seafood restaurant was never in his mind 10 years ago. After graduating from college and starting his first job doing multimedia in a TV station, he felt cooped up and could not see the future.

Reflecting deeply, he realised that he loved food and decided to leave his training before and start afresh by helping out in a restaurant. He vowed that he would learn the ropes, learn as much as possible and do whatever it took to understand the restaurant business. His perseverance was demonstrated by being one of the earliest to reach work and often he was the last to leave, taking whatever spare time to understand and learn finer culinary skills but also discover how to manage operations and finances.

Tan is indeed an extraordinary, self-made entrepreneur who is deserving of all the recognition and accolades accorded to him. After winning the SME & Entrepreneurship Business Award early this year in the Enterprising Inspiration category, he has gone on to win the International Prestige Brand Award for Best Brand in Crab Restaurant and the China-ASEAN Top Business Award 2017. What is the secret of his success? Good food, good quality, good people. In fact, his Fei Fei Crab chain of restaurants are so popular that long queues are seen during weekends and they even have a no reservation policy.

Tan has never forgotten his roots. He speaks of his childhood days and his dreams of desiring to be his own boss and create financial freedom. Saving every bit of money left from his meagre income and trying to make ends meet, he made sure he understood enough about cooking, operations, management…the whole works.

He soon opened a small stall in a neighbouring food court, testing out his own recipes in crab dishes. Soon he won himself many loyal customers who encouraged him to start out on his own standalone restaurant.

Bootstrapping right from the beginning with only a capital of RM50,000, Tan’s life has never been the same since he opened his first Fei Fei Crab restaurant and today with 8 flourishing outlets, a host of signature dishes and creative new dish innovations, his hopes and dreams are more vibrant than ever hope.

“I hope to open 10 restaurants by end of 2017 and eventually, expand overseas as well”, enthuses Tan. He has even visited neighbouring countries as well as China to evaluate the business prospects and sees ample growth opportunities.

He says that to grow and to maintain customer support, “It is important to always maintain consistently high standards of taste, quality and the customer experience. This is my credo for growth”, enthuses Tan.

“I have never thought of challenges as stressful. Whenever there is a road block or barrier, I just charge forward. I learn from my mistakes and evaluate what to do next. All I know is to just do it. Success is just around the corner. I never give up no matter what circumstances I may be in”, he says.

I also try to network with other like-minded entrepreneurs so that I can learn more and develop my own knowledge and skills at the same time. My business circle has also been greatly enriched as a result.

Tan Nam Kun epitomises true entrepreneurial grit and spirit, an exemplary model to those who wish to start a new business. He is an inspiration to seasoned business owners that change and growth come to those who are hardworking and persistent.

CO3, Probably South East Asia’s Coolest Office Launched in Malaysia

Selangor, Malaysia, July 28, 2017 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Malaysia based co-working space startup CO3 Social Office officially launched their first office location in Puchong, Malaysia today. The opening of the Puchong office marks the completion of the first out of five offices the company had planned.

Early this year, the startup revealed their ideology in Connexion at Nexus, Bangsar South. During the 1,500 people event, the team from CO3 presented their plan to deliver the “coolest office in Malaysia” by June 2017. In the same event, they had also announced the plan to open 5 offices in 12 months.

“We have said it, now we have done it”, said Yong Chen Hui, Founder & CEO of CO3 Social Office. “The journey wasn’t easy but our aspiration took us here.”

"We have said it, now we have done it". said Yong, CEO of CO3

In celebration of the first workspace opening, the team organised a weeklong celebration including two housewarmings, a grand opening ceremony, and an exclusive social gathering with Bruneian artist Goh Kiat Chun or better known as Wu Chun. Now a full-time entrepreneur, the ex-singer Wu Chun is the non-executive director of the newly launched co-working space. As part of the weeklong celebration, the 44-year-old entrepreneur shared his rich experiences in entrepreneurship with a group of young influencers.

When asked about the differentiating factors that set CO3 apart from the existing co-working offices in the region, Yong brought up an interesting point. The “heartware” he said. He explained that besides the hardware (the facilities) and the software (the mentor supports and business networks) which almost every co-working office provides, CO3 social office is promoting an intangible spirit called the “heartware”.

It’s made up of 3 key elements namely freedom, dignity, and trust. “We allow ideas to travel freely within this space, we promote the concept of same rank where everyone has their own space, and we want to build trust within the members,” he added.

The spirit of CO3 is to allow free travel of ideas between the members

Further embodying the spirit of “heartware”, this co-working space allows flexible leasing for as short as a month and an adopted honor system for the food and beverages in the workspace. Additionally, all the net proceeds from the honor system will be donated to charitable causes.

Built upon CO3 honor system, members pay for their food and beverages without any supervision.

With millennials slowly taking over the workforce, talent attraction and retention is more challenging than ever. Hence the company is confident that augmenting the importance of human-centric “heartware” will be an alternative solution to talent retention.

CO3 Social Office also positioned itself as a unique concept that can be implemented in existing corporate environments and real-estate locations, improving their appeal to the new generation of white collar professionals, on top of optimising the utilisation of their existing assets.

Jeff Ong, Executive Director of CO3 explained that many offices have unutilised real estates like meeting rooms or under-utilised real estates like manager rooms. Co-working space helps companies to turn these real estate cost into revenue.

CO3 maximizes the value of real estates by having shared meeting rooms, brainstorm area, and other facilities among the members.

On the day of the launch, Yong also revealed that the 22,000 sq feet working space has achieved more than 80% occupancy, with 200 members from various professions including the legal, corporate secretary, production house, event, media, and tech startup industries. CO3 Social Office is not just the coolest office in Malaysia, but it’s also the largest of its kind in the region. Believing in the concept of constant growth, the team had planned to outdo their current accomplishment. Yong stated that this first office is built to prove the concept of co-working area in Malaysia. Ready to achieve their next goal, they are eyeing their second location which will take up 80,000 sq feet in a 5 storey building. The location is 4 times larger than its predecessor and is said to be along Jalan Semangat. When asked about the remaining 3 locations, Yong explained that scouting process is ongoing. Though the exact locations are not finalised, the team is looking to complete these locations by Q2 2018.

The Importance of Understanding Digital Users Behavior to Increase Online Revenue

User behavior is the biggest indication of success in online marketing and at the same time, it’s the most informative tool to help you pave your roadmap to success.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 17, 2017 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- There has to be a purpose when you devise a marketing plan or marketing strategies for your brand. For example, boosting the intention of purchase by the consumer, sharing of their personal information, downloading of an E-book or an app, or other types of engagement.

However, you should ensure that your users who visited your site walk away with a positive impression regardless of the engagement in increasing the chances of their return or referring your brand positively to their friends where you could create a higher chance of a future engagement from their friends.

Research has shown that 85% of the consumers choose to use the Internet in helping them to make buying decisions about goods and services that are related to their children, 75% for healthcare products and service decisions, and 68% on money matters. The internet is also the most common platform that people go to for advice and information, even before consulting their friends and family members.

Consumers nowadays become more demanding in getting value for everything they purchase. They’ve become more biased towards certain brand or product that has a better offer when making a purchase. The number of consumers using smartphone technology and mobile searches to look for information and shopping experience has been increasing day by day. People always want to get fast and instant information. Digital users won’t spend too much time on scrolling their smartphones, instead, they will search for the things they want.

Consumers’ purchasing decision does not only depends on the price itself. There are still various factors that come into play before they make up their mind on whether to buy instantly or the other day. However, here are some of the factors that will influence consumers’ buying decision:

・Social Influence (roles, social groups, family)
・Psychological factors (perception, experience, beliefs)
・Cultural Elements (social class, culture difference)
・Personal preferences (personality, lifestyle, age, occupation)

However, always make your marketing efforts more distinctive by continuously updating consumer with the relevant information through your website, landing pages, brochures, social media sites and others. By doing so, you will give your customer a good impression and keep them in contact as well as securing your revenue.

There is always a reason why a consumer comes to your business instead of others, and it’s all up to you to show them more reasons to stay with us. You have to maintain their interest to stay with your services or products and pulling them away from your competitors. It all boils down to the fact of good purchasing experience that consumer feels, adding value for the consumer, interact with the customers, providing solutions yet never overselling your product or services.

Post-purchase service which is also known as follow-up service is very important but also often being neglected. Engaging with your customer is never a one-time thing. If you think that servicing a customer is completed after the purchasing process, you have to rethink again. Customer interaction and customer service are two of the key points in generating your revenue. They also act as your secret weapon towards a long-term brand loyalty from your customers. The mistakes of neglecting or forgetting the consumers after purchasing will only serve as a loophole for your competitors to pry away your source of revenue.

Post-purchase interaction is a crucial step to take as it will generate the feeling of appreciation towards the customer, they will think that they’re still a priority to you. Stay connected with your customer, if you know how to take care of your existing and new customers, they will most probably stay loyal to your brand and secure your revenue.

The importance of understanding the users’ human behavior before generating any marketing strategy and plans is very important. A good marketing plan is the one that fulfills consumers’ needs and wants and understands about their buying behavior as well as their buying intention.

Not an easy feat to carve a name at an early age

Meet a 27-year-old entrepreneur who dons many hats being a business consultant, branding guru, an event planner as well as a professional trainer. Dr. Zyro Wong shares the challenges of building a reputation for himself in a competitive industry.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, July 10, 2017 /PRWIRE.asia/ -- Dr. Zyro Wong is not a typical 27-year-old youngster who has just begun on an entrepreneurial journey but a modern thought leader, views the world through his distinctive lenses in his capacity as the Founder and CEO of the ZW Consultancy Sdn Bhd. Given his business acumen and exceptional life experience, he is a multi-talented man with solid track record of performance in various areas. To date, he has been acknowledged in the international business arena with various awards for his entrepreneurship such as the Asia Honesty Enterprise Award, ASEAN Top 50 Award (China), Top Business Award 2016 (Singapore), Creative Young Entrepreneur Award 2016 and the Asia Top 100 Honesty Brand Award, to name a few. Highly acclaimed for his achievements, he is also the proud founder and contributor for a number of successful business ventures such as the 8Dorm, Sense Plus and Webist Solutions Sdn Bhd. It is not surprising that he was also nominated for the Top Outstanding Youth Malaysian award, thus serving as a true role model in the circle of young entrepreneurs.

Dr. Zyro Wong is not your typical 27-year-old youngster who has only just begun on an entrepreneurial journey.
Beyond the reputation in the industry, Wong shares the effort and hard work he has to put in at an early age for what he has achieved today.

Early taste of earning his own money

For many teens in their secondary years, school holidays are often their favourite time of the year to eat, play and relax comfortably without having to worry about exams and homework.

Not for the business-savvy and “money minded” Dr. Zyro who began working at the tender age of 15.

The bold and outgoing lad shares his interesting story on how he ended up as a tuition teacher in a centre.

“I am a money-driven person but it is because I was taught by my parents that I need to earn money if I would like to treat myself to a little luxury.

“When I was 15, I walked into a tuition centre and promoted myself to nail a job there,” he recalls with a laugh.

When the Reuters asked, “Why should we hire you?” without a second thought, Wong “boasts” of his ability to influence followers to throng to the centre.

That is how I started earning my own pocket money as a tuition teacher by teaching three subjects – English, Geography and Bahasa Malaysia, he tells the interviewer.

Apart from tutoring, Wong also shares snippets of his various business attempts and ventures during his teenage years which included general office support work at his mother’s law firm and operating a food stall in his aunt’s café.

Calculative yet business-savvy

“Between the ages of 15 and 16, most of friends worked as part-timers either in McDonald’s outlets or ended up in Genting Highlands.

“However, I’d decided to join the tutoring industry as the hourly rates are much higher,” he explains.

Dr. Zyro, however, admits that prior to the tutoring experience, his command of the English Language was bad until he enrolled in Erican Language Centre at the age of 11.

Thanks to his lawyer mother who identified his weakness in the language, Dr. Zyro was sent to the language centre to improve and brush up on his spoken and written English.

As his creative mind was always ticking, Dr. Zyro came up with a proposal and negotiated it with the language centre.

“Like the good old barter system, I’d asked for a discount from Erican to continue my studies there while at the same time, offered myself to become one of their sales person, or better known as a student recruiter.

In Dr. Zyro’s case, it doesn’t hurt to ask because once again, he succeeded in persuading the branch manager to accept the “barter offer”.

As a people person, it was easy for Dr. Zyro to persuade interested parents to register their kids at the language centre.

“I can attest to the effectiveness of studying there. As I spoke to the parents, they were quite impressed with my confidence and the ability to articulate in fluent English.”

Behind the hard work and efforts to work as a part-time tuition teacher and a recruiter, Dr. Zyro admits he certainly has to skip school at times for work.

As a result, he was only a mediocre student. “Fortunately, my parents were quite supportive as they wouldn’t stop me from pursuing things that I like so I was quite independent since young.”

Naivety of a college student

Dr. Zyro graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Learning and Development from University of Malaya (UM) which carries his Doctorate (Dr.) title

During the interview, he expresses his “regrets” for enrolling in a broadcasting programme during his degree.

“To begin with, I initially wanted to pursue a business degree but as a college student, I was a little naïve thinking that there was nothing else to learn (in business) since I am already more or less in the industry.

“Because broadcasting is not my passion, I had to repeat a semester as I wasn’t doing well in the course.”

But luckily he did his PhD in the field that he is interested with and managed to pass with good grades in his research.

First taste of being his own boss

A lack of relevant business education did not stop him from setting up his first company, Masterpiece Creation that deals with roadshow planning and event management – when he was still pursuing the broadcasting degree course in UTAR.

Dr. Zyro did a one-man show for the company by outsourcing the manpower and technology for the events.

“I do engage services from freelancers on a project basis and most of the time, I will be emceeing these events.

“To a certain extent, running a roadshow is my fast route to earn a sum that can last from anywhere between three and six months,” he says.

Dr. Zyro expresses his preference to manage roadshows or projects for bigger firms or clients. “It requires the same amount of time and effort regardless of whether I am working for big or small clients.”

Three years down the road, Dr. Zyro renamed Masterpiece Creation to ZW Consultancy with a more niche focus offering business management services by helping his clients to build their brands to boost the growth.

The business continues to flourish that prompted Dr. Zyro to convert the sole proprietorship to Sdn Bhd

From emceeing to a branding guru

Despite a lack of proper education on running a business, this “self-taught” gutsy entrepreneur has clear goals to achieve to ensure ZW Consultancy is on the right path to success.

What started as a one-man show eventually developed into something bigger as the consultancy has three divisions to offer a complete business solution for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Time and again, he stresses on the importance of branding for a business or a product.

As a branding guru-cum-consultant, Dr. Zyro says it is important to make public appearances as it is part and parcel of branding.

“There are two methods to promote your business – one is via investment to market your brand in the media but consumers don’t remember the entrepreneur behind this brand.

“Seeing that the market is getting more competitive in today’s society, I think personal branding helps you to stand out from other rivals. Instead of marketing the brand, why don’t you market yourself and subsequently, bring your business behind your name?”

Nevertheless, in dishing out the business advice, Dr. Zyro says there is no right or wrong in marketing strategies.

He, however, believes that personal branding concept is the quickest and most effective medium to reach out to potential market.

“Of course even for personal branding tactic, you need to tap into the right channel and also use the right platform,” he says.

Donning many hats

Dr. Zyro has a lot of his plate but the he never seems to complain.

Apart from running ZW Consultancy, the 27-year-old is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of SILC, a celebrity speaker in his own right. Apart from being the Ambassador for a number of brands such as the Styleicon International Prestige, SharkSaver Malaysia and Atmosphere Hair Saloon, he was also the esteemed judge of a great number of beauty pageants

Though Dr. Zyro seems very much like a business entrepreneur who cares a lot about figures and the progress of his company, he displays a caring nature towards his family, particularly to his two younger sisters.

In 2013, he ventured into a hostel business catered specifically for Chong Hwa Independent High School students in Kuala Lumpur.

“I started the business known as 8 Dorm for my sisters who were studying there after seeing the trouble that my father had to go through driving back and forth from Rawang to KL, fetching them from school and extra-curricular activities.”

What started as a hostel meant specifically to ensure his sisters’ comfort eventually turned into a viable business model that generates a stable income for Dr. Zyro.
Concurrently, he is also running few hostels business in Klang Valley area offering units for outstation college and university students.

“I managed to strike a deal with some landlords and took over the management of between 9 and 10 units to be rented out to students from other states,” he shares, adding that all in all, the hostel service adds up a lucrative sum monthly in his various business ventures.

His successes in numerous ventures earned him several awards and recognitions including China-Asean Top 50 Award 2017, Singapore International Business Federation Award 2016, Asia Honesty Enterprise Award 2015, Asia Honesty Entrepreneur Award 2015, Asia Top 100 Honesty Award in 2014 and Top Outstanding Youth Malaysian 2014.

Defining success: More than material gains

While most youths of Dr. Zyro’s age equate success to material gains or possessions, he thinks otherwise.

“How do you define success? To me, success is not based on people’s perception of you. It is based on your objectives and what you want to accomplish in life.

“In fact, success is a subjective matter. What is more important is an individual has to set own goals and work towards it. If you manage to accomplish it, then you are successful rather than owning branded stuffs.”

With that theory in mind, Dr. Zyro says he has only achieved a partial of his goals and objectives. “I am still working on it. Now that I am already 27, I have three years to work hard to achieve the goals that I have set when I reach 30.”

Wong aims to set up an autopilot business that runs on its own before he reaches 30.

“Now that I am in the service industry, the next step is to venture into product-based industry that doesn’t require my hands-on advice most of the time.

“I would also like to expand my business into the overseas market,” he adds.
