A customer was shocked to discover that the price of his beloved roast pork rice has gone up by 40%, from $5.80 to $8.10.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the customer had visited Liao Fan Hawker Chan's outlet at Plaza Singapura's Kopitiam food court. He later went online to complain that the stall had increased its prices without notifying customers.

Mr Liang Jianan, 40, said he would patronise the stall once a week but only discovered the price hike recently. Taken aback, he repeatedly asked the stall's cashier to confirm the 40% price increase.

Mr Liang said: "I later checked and found that this plate of rice was no different than before, except for an extra half an egg now."

He felt that the stall should have verbally reminded customers about the new pricing since it was quite a significant hike, adding: "If I had known that the increase was so outrageous, I would have gone to the hawker centre nearby instead."

When contacted by Shin Min, Liao Fan Hawker Chan's flagship store at Chinatown acknowledged the price hike but said the costs of cooking oil, pork, gas, water and electricity are all rising.

Customers are also paying $0.30 more for takeaway boxes, which has seen an increase in costs too.

A spokesman added: "We will adjust prices again when things are more stable."

A reporter visited Liao Fan Hawker Chan and found that other items on its menu have undergone price adjustments too:

• Signature soya sauce chicken rice: $5.50 -> $6.80
• Char siew rice: $5.50 -> $7.80
• Pork ribs rice: $5.50 -> $7.80
• 2-meat combination platter: $8 -> $12

An employee told Shin Min that the stall has received complaints about the price hike, adding: "In the past, customers would add on meat and vegetables, but now they only order the basic set meal."

Liao Fan Hawker Chan was awarded one Michelin Star in 2016, but lost it after five years. 2022 marks the second year in a row it has been displaced from the list.

Never underestimate the stupidity of sinkies. This shit isn't even worth $3.00.

 

[Balls2U]

There are so many nice roast pork rice stalls in Sinkieland that is half the price of that plate of crap.

 

[laksaboy]

People still patronize Hawker Chan?

I used to dine at its Chinatown Complex hawker stall back in the day, before it received its Michelin fame. Each plate of chicken rice cost $2, with complimentary soup.

This was the old signboard:

This dumbass dined at a food court in a mall, owned by a F&B crony.

Hawker Chan's prices have also increased after its Michelin fame.

This would be $5 or $6 in a similar environment... in 2017-2018.

 

[blackmondy]

So Michelin award = the right to increase price to premium level ?

Every hawker is smartly and wisely increasing prices.
Now, eating in a restaurant is better than eating in a hawker ctr.

Bestest, buy the ingredients and cook yourself at home.

 

[A Singaporean]

Low SES Sinkies not happy can fuck off. We can always welcome highly paid foreigners to our hawker centres.

 

[kollective]

The rent free solution

Tehgu will chase tho

 

[Rogue Trader]

Who did he voted for?

 

[syed putra]

Jiu hu banned export of pork too?

 

[myfoot123]

The message from the Hawker is clear - DON'T COME BACK!! Will 61% sinkies return to the same stall like their life depend on it?

 

[laksaboy]

Whatever the price, it's a good idea to support this yandao culinary legend!

 

[countryman]

No hawker food is cheap anymore...
Just had 2 tiny rolls of shrimp cheong fun @Marine Parade hawker centre costing 4 bucks which I finished in less than a minute. Vowed this will be the last time I'm visiting that stall.

Yes, cook at home is still the ideal solution. It is also unfortunate that sinkies are not allowed to hunt or trap. So many wild boars, jungle fowl, civet cats roaming our island.

Prawns are always expensive. Try eating kosong chee cheong fun.

 

[dredd]

Any eatery that has the Michelin "star" attached to it is to be avoided like the plague. Not only will the mudderfarkers use that as an excuse to raise their ego and prices, what the fark does French frogs know about Sinkee tastes anyway?

 

[bobby]

Hawker Chan is now re-named as HumKar Chan.

 

[syed putra]

I hope the goose and pork are fried separately.

 

[Sideswipe]

boycott those anyhow increase prices hawker food.
