Tag Archives: Food Prices

What the hell is happening here? I went to a Charsiew Stall at a local coffee shop. I ordered $3.50 charsiew rice. I also told the young man that I don't take much rice and requested LESS RICE.

Now that the CNY period is almost upon us, it seems like food prices have suddenly shot up. Go to the market and even supermarket, all prices of food stuff have gone up. This happens every year, nothing new. But will prices go back down to the level they were at before CNY period? Or will it stay high, then next year CNY, increase again?

A Facebook user was charged $42 for 3 plates of pork chop rice and 1 side dish of steamed pork at a coffeeshop along 27 Yong Siak Street. She was so angered by the blatant overcharging, she decided to post up her negative experience with the stall online. According to her Facebook post, the 3 pork chop rice meals cost $27, while the steamed pork side dish cost $15.
