Serious Chang Cheng Group Towkay Vows That Cai Png 1 Meat 2 Veggies Price No Higher Than $4.20! Low SES Sinkies Rejoice!

[JohnTan]

Westies rejoiced at the news that Jurong West Hawker Centre will reopen later this year.

Not only will there be more food options in the area, but its operator also shared the even better news that they’ll keep their cai png or economic rice prices affordable.

Specifically, the price for one meat and two vegetables won’t be higher than a reported S$4.20.

Cai png is Singaporeans’ favoured budget meal

Cai png is a favoured budget meal for Singaporeans who just want to fill their stomachs.

Thus, some may measure the affordability of a hawker centre by the price of its cai png.

On that count, Jurong West Hawker Centre will aim to please when it opens, promised its operator.

New operator will check out prices at nearby eateries
On Thursday (26 Jan), the National Environment Agency (NEA) announced that Jurong West Hawker Centre will reopen in the third quarter of 2023.

Its new operator will be JW 50 Hawker Heritage, whose parent company is Chang Cheng Mee Wah, which has years of experience in managing food establishments.

Chang Cheng Group chairman Kok Kuan Hwa told Shin Min Daily News that the company has already set up a team to prepare to manage the operations of Jurong West Hawker Centre.

One of its tasks is to check out the prices at food establishments nearby.

The purpose is to make sure Jurong West Hawker Centre’s prices aren’t higher than those of neighbouring eateries, Mr Kok said.

Cheapest cai png costs S$4.20 in Pioneer Mall food court
According to checks by the paper, there are two affordable places to eat in the area, and one of them is the food court at Pioneer Mall next door, which is operated by Koufu.

The cheapest cai png there costs S$4.20 for one meat and two vegetable dishes.

Jurong West Hawker Centre’s cai png to be cheaper than food court’s
Mr Kok confirmed to Shin Min that the cai png at Jurong West Hawker Centre will be cheaper than the one sold at Pioneer Mall’s food court.

They hope to offer more choices to residents, he said.

If customers want to dine in air-conditioned comfort, they can go to the food court, but if they want cheaper food, they can head to Jurong West Hawker Centre.

He also noted that blocks 600 to 800 in the estate have not had any other hawker centre for 20 years.

This highlights the importance of Jurong West Hawker Centre to them, he added.

As for the stall rentals, he said they’ll be “about the same” as other hawker centres.

All these F&B cronies and conglomerates are part of the reason why food prices are escalating.

Take a look at some of the 'social enterprise' hawker centres. I believe at least one of the newer hawker centres is managed by Timbre Group.

Good luck to you if you still don't recognize what's wrong with this arrangement.

If anyone thinks $4.20 for ‘economical rice’ in some asshole part of Singapore in a place without air-conditioning is a good deal, they better have their heads checked.

For this you might as well go to the Buddhist Lodge and eat for free. Save your money to booze at the nearby Robertson Quay afterwards.

$4.20 is not cheap, why make it sound like it is hard work to make it at this price.
You make noise when you can sell it below $3.

Already very difficult to find cai png 1 meat 2 vege rice at $3.50. Mostly more then $4. Cai png is riding on the the increase price wave.

Try 1 meat + 1 veg or 3 vegs... should be less than $4. Remember to avoid the fish and sotong etc.
