not only fried carrot cake.................i remember roti plata.......pork congee........most food charge extra for eggs all can bring own eggs.............those were the days............now you bring egg they ask you hong kan.........

Talking about eggs, I recalled buying Fried oyster, as I was waiting, a mid 20s man ordered," Uncle fried oyster $5.00, don't want oysters."

 

The eggs and the flour mix from that stall must be really special.

Another option is to buy from vending machine, they don't charge for the chilled drinks.

 

 

It's only slightly more expensive compare from supermarket.

Wonder why so.

 

Maybe no need to queue.....

Cashier pay is lower than machine's price and maintenance.

I know in almost all cold/western countries, hot drinks cost more than cold/bottled drinks.

 

One sachet of Nascafe (which you can get FOC in hotel room) poured into a styrofoam cup costs more than $5.

Yeap, cold countries pay for hot food, hot drinks.

Iced coffee has more condensed milk. 

 

You can try putting their hot coffee into a cup of ice and you will notice the difference.

 

I'm still grateful to be paying $1 for a coffee compared to >$5 (3.50 Euros) for a smaller cup of coffee that is only available for takeaway. Having it there would cost 4.50 Euros....

[Pocy]

Talking about Europe, need to pay 3 Euro to pee in some areas. Don't pee, can?

 

Back to this thread, extra 10 - 20 cents for ice or chilled drink OK lah. YOLO see open, enjoy while you can.
