I always eat nasi padang. And i will always order 1 fish, 1 chicken and 1 vege… no matter where i eat (different coffee shops, JTC/industrial canteen) average price is about $10. 

nowadays food price is increasing faster than petrol prices! 

Order 1 fish and 1 chicken, price would not be cheap. At least $7 even from the cheapest stall i guess. 😅

The person complains because the portion too little? Actually, indeed a bit little for the veggies la, but $4.50 for 4 dishes consider not say ex liao.

Nowadays even for 3 veggies and 1 meat at least $5+

This phenomenon is called shrinkflation 🤣 Dunno about others but recently feel not just food prices higher portions also getting smaller.

Nowadays if order the cheapest option on the menu more often than not eat no full, either must order large or 2 diff servings.

Like the other day for dinner i had both a fried carrot cake $4 (cheapest option) and a pork congee with egg $3.90, and I'm not a big eater 😉

Nowadays if the price of the food is $3 or $4, the portion quite small. Esp if the stall has a few pricing like $3, $4, $5, $6. Must order at least $5. 😅
