Foreigner stunned by $20 plate of Nasi Padang at Ion Orchard

[Hangover]

this is correct.
Just a troublemaking malaysian wanting his 2 minutes

A plate of chye peng in Aust or US chinese eateries will also cost almost S$15-25

Ion Orchard could be the most unaffordable place that the malaysian visited.
Cannot afford then don't go. Still wanna share on social media.

Only local can complain because of low salary. Filthy rich foreigner come here also want to eat cheap cheap, they never hear Singapore is the most expensive city in the world? I would have charged him $50 and served small portion and asked him to compare the price with their own country food.

Obviously this FT never heard the famous remark by our learned Chindian doctor minister with a girlie name.....

 

[covertbriar]

What's wrong with paying $20 for good nasi padang, especially if there are 3 expensive meat dishes?

Would you complain about paying $20 for pasta or ramen?

DUH OF COURSE!!!!!!!!

 

[Truth_Hurts]

If he put up prices then stall holder cannot charge Malays cheaper liao

Tat y i don't like buying from m&ds

 

[Annunaki]

Cannot afford moved to the most expensive city in the world for fuck!
Want cheaper food go to Low ses hdb estates outside Orchard!

we the consumer can alwa

Perhaps to enhance consumer protection...all stores must put the prices for each serve. I do not understand why the reluctance to out prices. For example 1 serve of rendang 4 bucks. Etc etc..the hawkers scares they cannot get away with overcharging?

we can alway gang up together and order a lot of dishs. when paying time just tell the cashier oh i thought is $3.50. i only have $5 in my wallet. dont want already.
1 day have 10 to 20 this type of prank their stall is finish. see if they want to hide their price.

Let's be frank here. Nasi padang will usually cost more to buy when one is a non-malay.

BS! I always patronise nasi padang "Sinar Pagi" at Geylang serai mkt. Just a plate of rice, rendang and sayor kacang. Cost me $5. My Cheena friend ordered same also cost $5. Where got my friend being overcharged? U go to tat stall, order same lauk, then come here and tell me how much u r charge lah?

On the contrary whenever i bought things from hardware or any Chinese shops i would get poor quality product. At times also ignored my presence and continue chit chatting away mandarin with other customers.

 

[whoami]

much cheaper at nor's nasi padang at jalan tua kong. only $6.90 for same stuff.

U r absolutely rite. Husband Chinese. I ordered fish (potong), sambal goreng and rice. Cost me $4.00. Reasonable. Cos fish not cheap.

Halimah that cb already declared fish to be cheaper than chicken.

'For example, the price of chicken may be rising fast, but we can encourage Singaporeans to turn to alternative sources of protein, such as fish,' she told The Straits Times.

$20 for nasi padang is definitely expensive. That's why everyone aspire to be a Minister with multimillion dollar salary. It'll make the 20 dollar nasi padang sounds like peanut. Long live PAP

 

[shittypore]

20 bucks he make noise, Sinkies pay Arse Loong and his Cronies millions over the past decade and get fuck all.

Maybe you don't look m&d muslim enough. It's an open secret that m&ds hawkers overcharge non-muslim customers and will play victim card if they think the chinks are doing the same to them.
