I never throw my cigars on the floor, i lay it to rest a dignified death in a China or ceramic ashtray.

Maybe some already up price before 9% GST. The other day eat at one restaurant, never notice the breakdown of the bill when paying, until i went home and examine the bill, notice the GST charge was 9%, not 8% siah! 😅

Its been like that since about a decade ago.   And it got cheaper and cheaper

singapore is way too expensive. 
 

a silly ramen with not much ingredients cost $20 here.  
a really big solid bowl of ramen filled with meat and nori cost $12 over there

 

$ to $, food price in Japan and some western countries are almost on par with Singapore. But quality and quantity we are just nowhere close. It just give me the feeling we are getting replica quality for the same price 😭

Not necessary.

Fresher produce as compared to here.

I agree with fresher but I am not just referring to fresher, the quality and quantity too. When you get a chicken chop, it is not 2/3 of a drumstick, some dried up fries without fresh tomatoes or vegetables. Even the fish are very different.

I think you are underestimating many Sinkies. Many are cash rich.
