Some hawkers are very petty and jealous, if you have been a regular customer but didn't patronize them for quite a while, their face black black when they see you. :eek:

Most hawkers I encounter are very pleased to see me again, even if I have not patronized them for quite a while. You must have caught your hawker on a bad day. :unsure::eek::biggrin:

It is OK to pay $9 but make sure that is the last time you give that stall the business. Don't be like 61% sinkies, screwed once, twice and still not getting enough. Every time I felt shortchanged or overcharged, I won't take a 2nd look at the same stall ever again. The exploitive seller needs to pay rent, without a dollar coming from you, he still needs to pay rent. He has more to lose. Most of the time, it will close shop for a reason and you felt happy about it.
Oh and add in a bad review in google.com, yelp etc...poison pen letters

In sinkapore, most business can survive by importing lousy products and mark up very high before selling to u. Same goes for food and services.

$9 chicken rice for me means 2 x drumsticks + intestines and you get a big bowl of chicken soup too. This is my go-to place at Tangling Halt hawker centre. Stall has a long history since the Margaret Drive days.

You are not alone. It happens most of the time. Usually, I don't give a shit at all, they either treat me with respect or go bust. They don't have much option doing business in Singapore.

The standard price of 1 chicken wing whole (with drumstick) is $1.50 (max). The uncle ordered two chicken wings which should cost around $3.00. The few pieces of roasted pork cannot justify the extra $6.00.

$9 could get u one quarter of a chicken served on a separate plate from the rice, a bowl of soup, a side of liver and gizzard, and a plate of rice. What a Robert or Carrot this fella is!!

Now I am missing sinkie hawker food very much. When I next visit sg, die die must eat hawker food for every meal.

You can go to these murtabak restaurants.

Tell Zam Zam that the murtabak at Victory tastes better.

Then tell Victory that the murtabak at Zam Zam tastes better.
