It’s review time 👻🙇🏻‍♀️
Event: Motherhood Baby Fair @ Tropicana Gardens Mall
Date: 27 March 2021
Entry fees: RM10 for 2 pax

Was expecting something big like dive fair/ travel fair but was extremely disappointed when there were just less than 20 vendors? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Deals were not attractive at all, mostly were just 10% off the retail price. If compared to what’s available online, this is nothing despite being an event specially dedicated to mothers (and babies). I thought I would spent at least 3 hours inside shopping and learning on baby prods but I was wrong, I left after 30 mins 😔 At the exit, I was given this gift box as a complimentary. I didn’t check whats inside until I was home. To my horror, most products are expiring in few months time 😢 Not very sincere isn’t it? It’s just clearing expiring stocks 🥺 and 80% of the products are not for newborns too.

Anyway, if you guys are planning to go, please reconsider. This is just another honest review from me. Maybe next week’s event at Bangsar will be better?😆 Hopefully... ❤️

[What happens to network effects when they cross the border?]

It often seems that startups with solid network effects are nearly unstoppable. When a network reaches critical mass, it seems like an inevitability that the company will dominate as the ever-increasing value it provides is recognized by more and more users.

What happens when the company, growing exponentially, decides to dive into another market? In many cases, the market entry is not met with a big splash, but a small drop. The company receives no credit in the new market for their valuable network at home. Many startups acknowledge that they need to build up a local network, but they differ their approach in the new market. They attempt to build up the new network by simply creating awareness and throwing marketing dollars at the network. This differs from their original home market approach, where they identified a core group of users and focused on building out the network for this group.

But often, there’s no shortcut and the network often needs to be built up from scratch. Yes, the startup does have some advantages with product development and takes a lot of learnings to the new market, but the approach should not be to stand on the shoulders of the home market. They should build it up the old-fashioned way.

Not all network effects are created equal here. In forums, a network where content is key, the language will play a key role in how portable the network effect is. A Taiwan-based forum, with content in Chinese, will have an easier time expanding into Hong Kong than Japan. Unlike a Hong Kong user, a Japanese user will see nothing of value, so the company could focus on building up the Japanese network from scratch by starting out with one small, core group.

Airbnb, initially focused on the US, easily found hosts internationally who were eager to serve traveling Americans. As hosts came onto the platform in international markets, domestic travelers in those markets followed.

Clubhouse, of course, was able to simultaneously enter many markets by offering must-hear content like Elon Musk grilling Robinhood villain Vlad Tenev, which had global appeal, to their platform and maxing out FOMO. Long after Musk and other stars made their appearances, mere mortal users still remain to chat amongst themselves.

Facebook, initially full of English content and Americans, faced an uphill challenge to onboard networks in non-English speaking countries and foreign countries. The arrival of FarmVille, a game that spoke to users of every language, pulled new users onto the platform. Before long, there were plenty of non-English speaking friends on Facebook.

When network effects travel across the border, your mileage may vary. Some startups will have a much better time replicating their success in new markets. Others will find success only by being innovative or carefully selecting markets. And others still will find no shortcuts and methodically build from scratch. Which one are you?

美國人首次吃台灣 KFC「花生醬漢堡」覺得讚不絕口！
台灣 Pizza Hut 竟然賣花生醬唐揚雞？
Must Eat Taiwan Peanut Butter Burger and Fried Chicken

美國不是最愛花生的國家嗎？絕對不是，台灣才是花生國！台灣竟然有花生醬漢堡和花生醬唐揚雞，那麼多花生我快發瘋了！[ENGLISH BELOW]

我來台灣之前已經超級愛吃花生，但是住在台灣我幾乎每一天都在崇拜花生！不管是台灣知名的花生飲料，米漿，或是其他花生零食；台灣的花生美食真的太讚了！

為了多體驗台灣花生美食我決定嘗試 KFC 的花生醬漢堡，竟然覺得超級讚！我也嘗試了 Pizza Hut 很有創意的花生醬唐揚雞，結果非常美味！

❓ 你們最喜歡的台灣花生美食是什麼？

I use to believe that America was the country that loved peanuts the most, well I was wrong! Taiwan is truly the peanut loving Capitol of the world!

Before coming to Taiwan I highly enjoyed the peanut flavor, but now that I’ve been in Taiwan for four years, I am proactively worshiping it daily! If it be Taiwan’s famous peanut drink Mijiang or other unique peanut snacks; Taiwan’s Peanut cuisine is obsolete!

In order to dive deeper into the peanut pool of Taiwan’s crazy cuisine I tried KFC’s Peanut Butter Hamburger and it was shockingly incredible! I also tried Pizza Hut’s creative Peanut Butter Fried Chicken and it was definitely not disappointing at all!

❓What is your favorite kind of Peanut Butter food?
