$2.50 Challenge

[laksaboy]

I was shocked when I had to pay $1.60 for a cup of warm soya bean drunk in the Kopitiam in front of Buangkok MRT station last Saturday. Really really shocked.

You're paying for the Kopitiam branding.

Sungei road world famous laksa.
One bowl $2....extra hum $2.50.
1 bowl not enough for me but for others maybe.

I think sure not enough, the bowl is very small...rice bowl and not the normal size laksa bowl...

Got Long tong for lunch meh? I don't think so, that one is only morning available right? Nasi lemak packets on sale whole day until sold out. Baey go for lunch, long tong close up already.

Yup, normally all sold out b4 lunch.

Curry rice expensive.

my everyday lunch

below 2.50

 

[rotiprata]

there are numerous $2 meals all over the island, expect no one is really keen to write about them.
such good and cheap meals are only possible if the operating cost of the stall is low and the owner
being contented with a small profit...

at some coffee shops along geylang road, there are some stalls operating by ah tiongs which charge
only $2 for 2 veg + 1 meat + rice

there is also one at lor 47 that charges $1 for 1 omette + rice + curry

1 Roti Prata + Egg costs $2 at some foodcourts... ridiculously overpriced food.

Hai Sheng Carrot Cake @ AMK 724 food centre.

[Raiders]

No leh. For $2.50, I can get quite a decent vegetarian meal at my market. $1.50 gets me a packet of nasi lemak with egg omelette, ikan billis and rice.

 

[ykhuser]

[Froggy]

lianbeng agrees with laksaboy! wonder what meat does the halal version used? mutton or gluten?

 

[laksaboy]

What happened to the classic Khong Guan Fan Choy and Lo Mai Kai? I used to eat them at school during recess. Lo Mai Kai was $1 or slightly cheaper. Fan Choy's price is slightly higher than $1.

$2.50 can get 25 pieces of Maxwell market 0.10 cent ham chee peng, but is it still around?
