The Tale of Two Xio Long Bao 1/2

Tale of 2 restaurants, famous for their Xio Long Bao (Shanghainese Dumplings), from 2 different cities, located at different levels within a huge shopping mall. Introducing Ding Tai Feng of Paragon Singapore, located at the lower ground, tucked at a secluded corner. Whereas the other one is Xin Tian Di of Gaysorn Plaza Bangkok, located at the top most level facing the atrium. One is full of patrons while the other is lack of it. Here are their stories…

Ding TaiFeng (DTF)

Apparently coined by the 3 most auspicious Hexagrams – 火風鼎, 天地泰, 雷火丰. DTF has been Taiwanese outlet fame for their Shanghainese dishes, detail read HERE. It is believed that being anything Taiwanese, there is some degree of superstitious in the use of FengShui in selecting their outlets and in this case of Paragon Singapore, it is just that it must be located: -

1. Preferably at the lowest level

2. In between two escalators

3. More important, cheap rental space 

Their FengShui master must have a reason. Common to most serious practitioners' understandings: -

1. Floor Qi must support their industry. Talking about water and fire clashes, why on earth did they choose the lower ground?

2. Receiving Qi from one end while dispelling Sha from the other.

3. Water features, hallmark of SanYuan master’s XieZi Fa.

However, the outlet is located at the opposite side of the bow (assuming pathway to be virtual river) instead of the embrace of the pathway. Was told that it is a taboo to be located at the opposite side of the bow whereas embrace by the river is liked a Jade Belt. The fact, no matter what kinds of belt be it black, yellow, green, red and so forth, if one do not receive Qi, might as well call it a day. It is the ill-fated Japanese restaurant opposite of DTF, so called embraced by the jade belt, actually suffered for the lack of patrons. Call it blind FengShui or bad FengShui?

DTF enjoys the prosperity of good FengShui owing to its ability to receive Qi in a SanYuan perspective. Has it got to do with the 64 Gua that is for me to know, you to find out? Those who has access to QuanYuan case study, there is the answer.

Next, we shall look at Xin TianDi (XTD)…
