$ingapore is getting so expensive that people are either buying online or across the causeway!

Thats why we see the causeway jam 24/7 esp on $G side only.

ah gong say to you ... can choose hawker, foodcourt or restaurant ... 

if a ulu bird no lay egg hawker got $2.5 chicken rice ... you have to go there 

Ah gong? I wouldnt call that person ah gong. To me he's definitely annoying.

But seriously, our food is getting expensive is becos cost of basic food items keep going up. So is rental which only goes up. At most it becomes stagnant during bad times but it never ever comes down. To plainly put it we will only pay more and pay and to see our portion of food shrink. I dunno how long hawker food price can sustain. Their gains are so small.

The chicken rice may be $2.50 but the transport to go to the ulu place is another $2 for public transport and certainly more for cars since has parking charges. And that's hopefully the $2.50 is not a tiny plate. 

In the end, it is all the same.....

Food court prices are quite expensive thesedays.

I always eat outside and I certainly feel it. Even HDB food stalls at central areas are not cheap anymore. 

2 person easily $11-$13 with one drink.  I cannot imagine those parents with 2-3 kids. One meal at the food court easily $20-$30 for 4-5 pax?

 

ya ya agree

You are always welcome to Upper Boon Keng Rd Mkt for Chicken Rice. It’s $3.50 with chicken and rice serve separately.

Frankly food is not the most expensive item in your daily expenses. Housing is but it was deducted up front from your salary thus you just don't feel it. If you calculate how much you have been paying for that roof over your head, you will know where your income goes.
