No matter which way to look at it, 12bucks for cai peng how to be reasonable? 🤣

Fish expensive, can go try the one I just posted at Maxwell 😉

 

Dont know what happen, how come crazy price of cai png is getting more and more common? Just like today lunch i bought cai png, this stall i bought from them many times liao. But today maybe the stall staff is new or what, she gave me the portion of rice and dishes so little, like kid portion and yet price still charge the same. So angry siah. :pissed-off:

For hawkers, better dont give too big notes. Best is to give them exact amount. To avoid any misunderstanding.

Sometimes no small change so no choice, so I always inform them how much I giving them to avoid any misunderstanding later 🤣

Haha, as mentioned in first post of this thread, with inflation and gst increase soon, can expect to see more of price up and shrinking portions 😂

Today also had cai peng from one famous stall - pork chop, potato, long beans plus rice = $5

Even inflation, the portion also cannot shrink until like they only give you 3 small pieces of chicken meat, too much liao. Lol. This would become dishonest selling.

Agree, with wanna increase price then portion should remain same, but then now chicken also no much stock, near my place chicken rice stall last time $3.50 now must order $5 for same portion 😂

M'sian man claims S$2.70 (RM11) cai png in S'pore cheaper than food in JB, M'sia

 

Singapore is cheaper than Malaysia when it comes to cai png?

 

 

This is somewhat true.

An aunt from Malaysia KL commented that if dun take conversion rates, food for example can be bought at $2 onwards in some hawker centres in Singapore. 

Whereas she says their minimum is at least from RM$6. These days she say, a bowl of noodles can cost RM$10-12. Ours is S$4-5.

Dollar to dollar without conversion, theirs is very ex for the locals. 

Yada-ing.

Thanks for sharing, Bro Mercs 👍

Stay safe 

Cheers

that's in line with my experience too. Food costs is a bigger % of their disposable income there. 

only saving grace is private vehicles are cheaper to buy and maintain.
